Nutrition is calculated per slice on the basis of 12 slices following the original recipeFor each slice it has 107 kcal, the protein is a whooping 7.6g, fat 6.3g and 3.9g fibre… impressive, haha
This has to be my favourite gluten-free bread. I’ve tried many bread recipes, and I’ve tried many breads from the shops, but I find that the shop bought gluten-free breads have too many additives and sadly they fall apart before I even touch them, haha…
This is the second batch I’ve baked in the last 4 days.
It only takes around 10 minutes to put together, then 15 minutes to wait for the chia seeds and the psyllium husk to soak up the moisture.
I recommend that you use the whole psyllium husk, not the powder, for baking.
It will sometimes turn the bread purple if you use too much though.
Quark is a German cheese but I used 0% fat Greek yoghurt instead in my recipe.
Quark would have had slightly more protein and fat, but it’s your choice.
It would probably have been much better, tasty and cheesy for sure.
You can also use normal Greek yoghurt, I only had 0% Greek yoghurt in my fridge.
For the topping I used some sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds, but you can also use sunflower seeds.
Seeds are high in protein but lower in carbs than nuts, and I have some seeds kicking around my house all the time.
Ingredients:250 g / 1 cup guark (use Greek yoghurt as an alternative)
3 eggs
1 cup / 100g almond flour/meal or ground almonds
2 tosp / 12g coconut flour
3 tosp / 18g psyllium husks (1 ½ tablespoon if using psyllium husk powder)
3 tosp / 30g chia seeds
½ tbsp / 6g baking powder
½ tsp / large pinch salt
2 tosp / 15g sunflower/sesame/pumpkin seeds optional*
The recipe is very easy… first, mix together the 3 eggs and quark and beat until the texture becomes smooth.
Then put in all the rest of the ingredients together, leave it to stand for 15 minutes, then pop it in the oven at 170 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Check if the skewer comes out clean… leave it to cool before you slice it!
The last picture was my lunch.
I mixed up some mayo, ketchup, yoghurt, garlic powder, onion powder and some pickle juice, then topped it off with a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
It was very nice!!
This bread is so good toasted for breakfast, or for making sandwiches for lunch… and it is very filling!
