INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR:
- We have to utilize whole wheat flour, as it provides structure and a hearty texture to the bread. Spelt flour, oat flour blend, or gluten-free flour mix can be used in its place.
OLIVE OIL:
- Use olive oil to give healthy anti-inflammatory fats and softness to the bread. We can replace it with avocado oil or melted coconut oil.
TURMERIC:
- Turmeric delivers strong anti-inflammatory qualities and a warm flavor. You can switch it out with curry powder if needed.
GINGER:
- Use ginger to give gentle spice and digestive support. We can replace it with cinnamon for a milder flavor.
FLAXSEEDS & CHIA SEEDS:
- We use flaxseeds and chia seeds as natural binders and for added nutrition. You can swap them with psyllium husk.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- Using apple cider vinegar helps to activate the dough and improve softness. We can swap it with lemon juice.
HONEY / MAPLE SYRUP:
- We include honey for light natural sweetness and balanced flavor. You might also utilize date syrup in its place or leave it out entirely.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Stir the oats, flour, black pepper, chia seeds, baking powder, flaxseeds, salt, ginger, and turmeric in a dish.
- Whisk the honey, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil in another dish.
- Make a sticky dough by mixing the wet and dry mixtures.
- Wrap the bowl and leave the dough for about twenty-five minutes.
- Warm the empty oven to 180°Celcius and cover a loaf pan with baking paper.
- Put the dough in a pan and gently smooth the surface.
- Bake till the texture becomes brown and golden, for about forty-five minutes.
- Before making slices, fully cool the bread for a perfect texture.
TIPS:
- Make slices after the bread is completely cooled to prevent crumbling.
- Include the seeds on the surface and then bake for additional crunch.
- Leave the dough for some time to boost hydration and texture.
- Avoid mixing the dough components too much to maintain a soft texture of the bread.
