Thank you Christine Bailey for this recipe!
There are certain foods, textures and rituals I miss on a gluten free diet such as dunking bread into my soup. It is packed with protein with all those nuts and seeds, so perfectly balances a vegetable soup. It is so easy to make, really delicious and so versatile! It can be eaten sliced with nut butter, naturally sweetened jam or marmalade spread on top. Or it can be eaten savoury for example, with a slice of smoked salmon and tomato on top. I like it just cut into slices and eaten on its own.
It is moister than traditional wheat bread with a cakey texture. It will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
