Dark buckwheat and flaxseed sandwich loaf
A dense, wholesome crumb, ideal for toasting after a night in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour (120 g / 4 oz)
- 1 cup brown rice flour (150 g / 5½ oz)
- ½ cup sweet cassava starch, polvilho doce (60 g / 2 oz)
- ½ cup flaxseed meal (50 g / 1¾ oz)
- 3 tbsp psyllium husk (24 g / ¾ oz)
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast (10 g)
- 1 tsp salt (6 g)
- 2 tsp sugar (8 g) — no added sugar: 1 tbsp erythritol (12 g)
- 2 eggs (100 g / 3½ oz)
- 3 tbsp olive oil (30 g / 1 oz)
- 1½ cups warm water (360 g / 12½ oz)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Activate the yeast in the warm water with the sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: the flours, cassava starch, flaxseed meal, psyllium and salt.
