This straightforward, tried and proven recipe requires only 25-35 minutes actual baking time, once loaf has risen (1 hour) and provides a very nutritious, hearty loaf that is actually quite easy to slice, too.

This specific recipe is recommended for those wanting a tasty bread recipe and desiring to replace white flour — and/or is recommended during seasons of immune system boosting, disease prevention and health resolution.

Ingredients:

1 cup of organic Besan (chickpea) flour,
1/2 cup Linseed meal,
1/2 cup Yellow Pea flour, or Red Lentil flour,
1/3 cup of Lowan’s premium instant dried yeast,
1/3 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda,
1/2 teaspoon sea salt,
1 cup of sour cream,
2 free range eggs,
1/2 cup of water,
1 tablespoon of butter for brushing the bread loaf tin.

Optional:

1/2 cup grated tasty cheese,
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds,

Method:

1.  Preheat oven at 180 degrees C for fan-forced oven. Non-fan forced ovens at about 200 degrees C.
2.  Brush the inside of a small to medium size bread loaf tin with butter.
3.  Combine all the above dry ingredients first in a mixing bowl, then add wet ingredients into a hole in the centre, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon. It should resemble a cake mix.
Note: don’t overbeat mixture.
4.  Pour the batter into the bread loaf tin and leave it to rise on it’s own for about 1 hour.
5.  Bake in pre-heated oven for 25-35 minutes. If desired, sprinkle the grated tasty cheese on top then sprinkle the Sesame seeds, during the last 5 minutes of the baking.
6.  Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes.

Variation:

Replace the 1/2 cup of water with full cream milk.

Serve:

Best sliced with a serrated bread knife.
Enjoy thinly cut bread slices lavished generously with soft, ripe avocado, then topped with fresh cottage cheese and topped with sliced ripe Roma or vine-ripened truss tomatoes.
Sprinkle with fresh cut parsley.
