This Seedy Bread recipe is from Julia McPhee, she writes ...

"Low Carb Seedy Bread is based on a recipe from NZ Herald Bite magazine. It is a very well 'plagiarised' recipe apparently! I have named it Low Carb Seedy Bread, it's just really seedy, easy and nutritious!!"

With all those lovely seeds, I think she's right! Don't forget to have your butter handy when you eat a nice slice!

"Ingredients:
¾ cup Sunflower seeds
¾ cup Pumpkin seeds
¼ cup linseed/flaxseed (whole)
2 tbsp Chia seeds
¼ cup LSA (ground linseed/sunflower/almond)
¼ cup Psyllium husk
2 tbsp Olive oil
¼ cup water

If you are new to low-carb baking, bread made with almond flour is the easiest low carb flour to begin with. Low-carb almond flour bread is also naturally grain free and gluten free bread.

This is a classic recipe for low-carb almond bread. Throw it all together and voila! A low-carb almond flour bread that slices like the real thing - just low-carb. This should be your go-to recipe for a healthy low-carb bread. Perfect sliced for a low-carb sandwich, toasted or even used for a bread stuffing.

Ingredients:
15 slices

200 g almond meal/flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt, or to taste
20 g psyllium husk
4 eggs
50 g coconut oil melted
125 ml of warm water

Looking back at older recipes and suggestions I came across this ...

"Wheat Belly Focaccia Bread
By Dr. Davis | March 29, 2012

This recipe provides an unusually sturdy focaccia bread suitable for a variety of dishes. I used it to make a Reuben sandwich, for instance: a thick layer of corned beef topped with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing sandwiched between two pieces of this focaccia bread. Delicious!
Shape this focaccia dough into whatever shape suits your recipes. I usually make two focaccias, each approximately three inches wide by six inches long and 1/2-3/4 inches deep, to use as the two bread slices to sandwich ingredients between. However, this recipe yields such an incredibly filling bread that the two slices can easily be cut in half to yield two very satisfying sandwiches to serve two.
Spread focaccia bread with pesto or mustard, lay smoked turkey, corned beef, pastrami, or other meat in between, some cheese, and you have a delicious and filling sandwich.

Ingredients:
2 cups almond meal
1 cup shredded mozzarella or other cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
1½ teaspoons dried rosemary
1½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup sundried tomatoes, finely sliced
2 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons extra-virgin oil

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In food chopper or food processor, pulse shredded cheese until reduced to small granule-sized consistency, similar to couscous.

In medium bowl, combine almond meal, cheese, sea salt, rosemary, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and sundried tomatoes and mix together. Set aside.

With electric mixer, whip egg whites until stiff. Blend in egg yolks and 2 tablespoons olive oil at low speed. Pour egg mixture into almond meal mixture and mix together.

Divide dough in two and form into desired shape by hand. Smooth edges with knife or spoon. (You may need to place your knife or spoon under hot running water to help mold the dough.)

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and take blunt handle of spoon or other small rounded instrument and make small depressions in the surface every inch or so. Brush surface with remaining olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt on top. Return to oven additional 15 minutes."
