Ingredients
- 250 g Chickpea Flour
- Pinch Of Salt
- 7 g Yeast
- Pinch of Sugar
- 200 ml Water
- 175 ml Hemp Milk
- 1 Teaspoon Tomato Paste
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika Powder
- 40 g Whole Linseeds
- 2 Teaspoon Milled Flaxseeds
- 90 g Hemp Flour
- 40 g Shelled/Dehulled Hemp Seeds
- 50 g Almond Flour Ground Almonds
- 2 Teaspoon Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil – for greasing
Instructions
- In a large jug, combine the yeast with the pinch of sugar and add to the water.
- Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes
- Pre-heat your oven to about 180 ˚C and grease a bread tin.
- Line the bottom of the tin with greased waxed baking paper – let the ends stick out over the tin, so that you have leverage to remove the bread once baked.
- Blend the tomato paste with the Hemp Milk until the paste is thoroughly mixed into the milk.
- Once combined, slowly add to the yeast mixture and stir well.
- In a large bowl combine the rest of the dry ingredients.
- Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and slowly start adding the liquid whilst stirring. You can use a spatula for this or also a large whisk.
- When all the liquid is combined with the dry ingredients, the consistency should resemble more of a batter than a dough – but don’t worry, this is exactly what we are looking for.
- Let the batter rest for an hour, covered with a damp cloth, so that the yeast can do its job.
- Add the batter to the tin and bake it in the oven for about 45 minutes.
- You will be able to tell that the batter is slowly rising.
- After the baking time elapses test the bread with a pick and if it is still too moist, bake it for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove and let cool on a cooling rack, before wrapping in some waxed baking paper.
