Ingredients
- 150 g Active sourdough starter
- 100 g Almond flour
- 50 g Coconut flour
- 25 g Psyllium husk powder
- 30 g Flaxseeds
- 20 g Chia seeds
- 30 g Sunflower seeds
- 20 g Hemp seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 250 ml Warm water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the active sourdough starter with warm water until fully combined.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the sourdough-water mixture and olive oil.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a dough forms. The consistency should be firm but sticky.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest at room temperature for about 6-12 hours, depending on the ambient temperature, until it becomes bubbly and rises slightly.
Step 6
Once the dough has fermented, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 7
Form the dough into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Sprinkle additional seeds on top of the loaf for extra crunch, pressing them gently into the dough.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
