Hi Sharon, don’t have some ingredients in the pantry. What would you suggest as quinoa flake substitution (we have quinoa, but not flakes and almond meal, rice, tapioca and coconut flours) ?
Would doubling the chip seeds work in place of the psyllium husk powder do you think? Thanks 🙂
Almond meal would make a great substitute. Not sure about omitting the psyllium husk though. It could work but Ive never tried. Keep me posted if you do! Sharon xx
Your bread is absolutely delicious…. thank you.
I wish I could claim this recipe. It’a an adaptation of ‘The Life-Changing Loaf of Bread’ by Sarah Britton from her blog ‘My New Roots.’ I encourage you to check it out. xx
My husband can’t eat quinoa (nor almond meal). What’s a good substitute for this please?
You could try oats. Traditional rolled oats. Is that an option? xx
Hey Sharon, I can’t wait to try this recipe! Could you include a bit of instant dried yeast to let it rise a bit?
Its an amazing bread. I have never tried that and not sure it would work or make any difference. The great thing about this recipe is just the speed and simplicity. If you give it a go let me know. Sharon xx
