Paleo Seed Bread [Dairy free, Gluten free, Grains free, Sugar free]

PALEO SEED BREAD

PALEO SEED BREAD

This amazing, easy to make, delightfully crunchy seed bread is made by combining a few of my already blogged bread recipes, tried and tested, and perfected to make the most delightful Paleo sandwiches.  As I transition into maintaining my weight loss, I realise that isolating food types will not work in a lifestyle change, and finding the medium in healthier alternatives that works in sating cravings, is always the best option to prevent the temptations of all foods processed.

A proud success, after trying a few recipes, this bread freezes easily, wrapped in cling wrap or aluminium foil, defrosts and toasts effortlessly and may be enjoyed with breakfast, lunch and supper free of processed ingredients, home-baked effortlessly and is fabulous tasting.  It should hold for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Using a small, 21cm x 11cm loaf tin, the mixture as listed below produces a generous 10-slices per loaf.  The ingredients may be doubled for a large standard loaf tin.
