Ingredients:
- 1 cup green buckwheat
- 1 glass of millet
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1 glass of water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon. soda
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1-2 teaspoons of salt (according to your taste)
Preparation:⠀
1. Wash buckwheat and millet and soak them in water for at least 5 hours.
2. Grind the flaxseed and soak it in 1 glass of water, let it swell for 20 minutes.
3. Place the soaked green buckwheat and millet in a blender after draining the water, but without rinsing, grind until smooth. There may be unground millet particles or even whole ones, but this is good, the structure of the bread will be more interesting.
4. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Add the soaked and swollen ground flaxseeds.
Add 3-5 tablespoons coconut oil (optional)
Press the baking powder and add it to the dough.
5. Wash the sunflower and pumpkin seeds and mix them into the dough. Stir in chia seeds.
6. Grind 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds in the coffee grinder and mix 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds into the dough.
7. Add: turmeric, coriander, cardamom and salt (adjust to taste to get a slightly salty taste).
8. Mix everything, pour the dough into a mold (I use a special one for bread, but for baking you can use any variety, grease the mold with oil)
9. Sprinkle sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds on top, press them a little into the dough to create a delicious seed coat.
10. Bake at 180* for 1 hour.
If you see the crust cracking during the baking process, open the oven and spray the bread and oven walls with water from a spray bottle.
11. When the bread is baked, remove it from the pan, wrap it in a towel and leave it until it cools completely.
