YOUR NEW FAVORITE BREAD RECIPE: NUT + SEED

I highly recommend using a kitchen scale instead of using conversions. They are not very expensive and you will find that you will use it a lot more than you may think!

INGREDIENTS

• 100 g spelt flour

• 100 g mixed nuts (I use pecans, walnuts, and almonds)

• 50 g mixed seeds (I use sunflower, poppy, sesame and pumpkin)

• 50 g olive oil

• 50 g honey (use local - or Manuka *see below)

• 2 eggs

DIRECTIONS

• dump everything in a bowl and mix (my kind of a recipe!)

• dump mix into a greased loaf pan

• bake at 375 for 20-30 min  The original recipe is for biscotti (so then you'd wait for it to cool, slice it again and bake for another 5 minutes on each side) but we eat it as bread and its delicious!

For a deep, rich flavor use Manuka Honey (we use Happy Valley). It is also said to have incredible soothing properties. For an extra treat, drizzle a little over your butter!
