Of which 1.5 g sugars and 0.8 g saturated fat.

No-added-sugar version: 135 kcal and 0.3 g sugars per serving.

Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g). Source for sugars and saturated fat: Portuguese Food Composition Database (Base de Dados da Composição de Alimentos), Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge, I. P. — INSA, v 7.1 - 2026.

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Seven-grain whole-grain bread

Dense, rustic and full of fiber, made with a seed mix.

Rico's note: Keep a bag of seed mix in the cupboard; this is the bread for when you want something heartier to last the whole week.

Ingredients

  • 100 g (3½ oz) 7-grain mix (rolled oats, chia, flaxseed, sunflower, sesame, quinoa, amaranth)
  • 120 g (4 oz) buckwheat flour
  • 120 g (4 oz) brown rice flour
  • 27 g (1 oz) psyllium powder
  • 1 tsp salt (6 g)
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast (14 g)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (12 g) — no added sugar: 1 tbsp erythritol (17 g)
  • 480 ml (2 cups) warm water
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (30 g / 1 oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Dissolve the yeast in half the warm water with the sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes. For the no-added-sugar version, dissolve it in the water alone (it foams less but still rises) and add the erythritol to the dry ingredients.
  2. In a bowl, soak the grain and seed mix in the rest of the warm water for 10 minutes.
