This recipe was an accident to be honest with you. I was planning on making flax crackers really...Well, I decided to try grinding my flax seeds in the vitamixer to make flax crackers. I decided to do this because I love making flax crackers but those darn seeds always get stuck in my teeth and they don't digest too well either...
So, a raw food friend told me I could grind the flax seeds in my vitamixer until it makes a powder. So, I was attempting to make flax sundried tomato crackers but it really turned out to be more like a bread, which I really like! I filled my yummy sand which with tomatoes, lettuce and avocado and had this sand which for lunch today. My mind is excited about all of the possibilities of different breads I can make now. I am thinking of a cinnamon honey bread that I can spread delicious almond butter on...yummy.
Sun dried Tomato Bread:
4 cups of flax seeds
4 cups of water
1/2 cup of honey
2 tomatoes
1/2 onion
Directions: Grind the flax seeds in your vitamixer or food processor. Next, soak the seeds with four cups of water and wait about 30 minutes. It should all create a nice thick batter. Add the honey, tomatoes and onion and spread out onto a dehydrator tray. Dehydrate bread at 115 degrees for 7 - 9 hours. Cut up into bread pieces and make amazing sandwiches!
This recipe yields an estimate of 40 slices of bread depending on the size of each slice :-).
HEAVEN!
ReplyDeleteseriously, i cant even tell you how much im craving this. right. this. second!
Wooo! Nothing like a big ol' slice of raw bread! lol
ReplyDeleteI hope ya'll get a chance to try this recipe out :-).
ReplyDeleteWhat happens if ya don't own a dehydrator? Can ya cook it in the oven? Not sure how Raw food cooking goes. Interested to know since I have celiac disease and can't eat real bread. Would love to find an alternative. Thanks for answering my questions.

I have never tried cooking it in the oven. You could try doing it at a low temperature and let us know how it turns out. Also, my dehydrator I bought is a nesco and it only cost my $30 compared to the excalibur. That might be a more affordable option for you :-).
ReplyDeleteI am looking foward to the arrival of my flax seeds next week to try this. I have not been to successful with flax crackers or baked bread. Maybe this will be the one!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it :-). Let me know how it goes!
ReplyDeletevery clever-- there are probably many things can be done with the flaxseed powder... clever! Did the bread go mooshy and break up? I find that with flax crackers when you put tomatoes on them... thanks for putting this on here
