Hemp Buckwheat Protein Bread (gluten free)

(adapted from this recipe)

This is very dense but it is quite good toasted with marmite (UK). Or served with mackerel and fresh greens.

I purchased all of the ingredients (except one, noted below) at Karma Food Co-op.

Makes: 1 loaf

Prep Time: 10 min + rising time
Cook Time: 30 min - 45 minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cups Hemp Protein Powder
1/2 Cup Shelled Hemp Seed
1Tbsp Hemp Seed Oil
2 cups Organic Buckwheat flour (I use whole grain)
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup potato flour (purchased in Toronto's Chinatown)
1 tsp xanthan gum
2 Free Range Eggs
1 1/3 rice milk or Hemp Milk
2 Tbsp maple syrup
3 Tbsp Italian Spices(Marjarom, Thyme, Rosemary)
1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt
2 1/2 tsp yeast
5 cloves minced garlic (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a flat cookie sheet.
Mix all ingredients together, shape loaf on cookie sheet, let rise, then bake at 350 until golden brown.

I will update this post with a yeast free version once I get my sourdough starter started ;)

Alice's Restaurant Bread

0.5 cup ground fresh organic flax seed (use standard consumer coffee grinder, almost full)
2 cups organic buckwheat flour
1 cup organic millet flour
0.5 cup organic rice flour
2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
0.5 tsp sea salt

Mix above dry ingredients with wooden spoon in large bowl.

Add 1.5 - 1.75 cups organic rice milk, slowly (start with lower value...do not let it get mushy before kneading!). Stir until mixed slightly. Knead with hands into 2 small rounds. Flatten on cast iron or stone bakeware and cross with a knife or pizza cutter. Brush with sunflower oil.

Bake at 350 degrees F for @ 40 minutes until lightly brown on bottom. Cool on trays and store in a bread tin wrapped in a clean tea towel.

This bread is great with hemp oil and sprouts. Cilantro chutney too.
