Easy Wholesome Sesame Bread
Here's the scoop on this simple but delicious and nutritious bread. It has no yeast, eggs or dairy. It requires 1 bowl and no mixer. AND, most importantly, its SO HEALTHY and YUMMY! See why I love it?? Sesame seeds are a great source of vitamins and minerals including B vitamins, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.
This recipe is kind of small, maybe enough for a crowd of three or four. It is high in quality protein (tryptophan and methionine) and has a nice mixture of omega 6 and omega 3 EFAs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Ingredients:
-1/2 C. Oats (any type works)
-1/2 C. Sesame seeds
-1 & 3/4 C. White whole wheat flour
-1/3 C. Flaxseed meal
-2 & 1/4 tsp. Baking powder
-1/2 tsp. Salt
-2 TBSP Olive oil
-2 TBSP Honey
-1 C. Dairy free milk (almond or soy) + 1 TBSP vinegar -combine and let sit for a few minutes.
-1 TBSP additional olive oil for brushing
-Sesame seeds for the topping
Directions:
-Preheat the oven to 375° and line a cookie tray with foil. Grease the foil and set aside.
-Grind the oats and sesame seeds in blender (I used my Vitamix) just until they become flour like. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
-Add the white whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder and salt to the bowl. Mix well and make a well in the center. Add the oil, honey and dairy free buttermilk.
-Mix well. A soft dough should form. Flour hands and form into either small rolls or 2-3 small loaves. Its better to shape them small for even baking and more yummy crust 🙂
-Brush the bread with olive oil and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
-Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool on wire rack. If small loaves were made, its best to cut it into individual slices when bread is totally cool.
ENJOY!
ps. This bread goes great with Tehini and tomatoes or nut butter and honey.
