This is a great option for anyone seeking to avoid (or replace) wheat, spelt and other grain-based breads. The fennel seeds aren’t essential so could be left out, substituted, or added to if you like. You could also add a teaspoon or two of your favoured herbs and/or spices (my favourites are powdered Ginger and Turmeric).
Ingredients
- 80g ground almonds
- 100g store-bought milled flaxseeds
- 150g golden linseeds
- 50 butter or cocount oil
- 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2TBSP cider vinegar
- 1 pinch flaky salt
- 2tsp fennel seeds
- 100ml water
- few scrapes of lemon zest
Method
LIne a 20cm square tin with parchment paper and butter, or oil, well.
Place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz to a porridge-like texture (it won’t look pretty!). Pour into the tin and bake for 45mins at 170ºC. Leave to cool before slicing.
