Decoration Tips
Enhance the presentation of your flourless bread with these simple decoration tips:
- Seed Topping: Sprinkle additional seeds on top of the loaf before baking for a visually appealing and crunchy finish.
- Herb Garnish: Add a touch of fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant and gourmet look.
- Fruit Accents: If serving sweet, consider adding a few dried fruits like cranberries or raisins to the dough or as a topping for added sweetness and texture.
- Nut Sprinkle: For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts such as walnuts or almonds on top of the loaf before baking.
Ingredients:
- 330g of Greek yogurt (or thick plant-based yogurt)
- 2 eggs
- 200g of oat flakes
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda (or baking powder)
- 35g of ground flax seeds (optional: grind before use)
- 35g of sunflower seeds
- 35g of sesame seeds
- 15g of poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- *Feel free to substitute the seeds with any combination of pumpkin seeds, nuts, or chia seeds, keeping the total at 100g.
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and eggs. Mix well.
- Add the oat flakes, seeds, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a spatula until well mixed.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the moisture and expand.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (skip this step if using an Airfryer).
- Shape the dough into your desired loaf shape on a piece of parchment paper, lightly oiling your hands to prevent sticking. Make a few slashes on top of the loaf.
- Place the loaf in the oven for 45 minutes if using an Airfryer or 55 minutes if using an oven. Include a small water-filled container in the oven or Airfryer to keep the atmosphere humid and ensure a crispy crust.
- Once baked, let the bread cool before slicing. Enjoy a couple of slices fresh, and freeze the remaining slices for future mornings.
Enjoy your delicious, high-protein, flourless bread!
