Giving up grains isn’t new to me. I first did it on naturopath’s orders in 2006. I didn’t eat wheat for eight months. It was only when I travelled to Italy to live in Rome that I started to eat wheat again. I mean, how I could I live in Rome and not eat pizza and pasta? My naturopath wasn’t concerned at all when I told her I was going to Italy. She said that Italian wheat is a different strain of wheat that was also milled differently – it is less acidic and easier on the digestive system. Seems she was right. I’ve given up wheat several times since 2006 – whenever my body starts reacting to it.
Pete Evans, an Australian chef who is pushing the Paleo way to the world, has a fabulous grain-free bread recipe in his latest cookbook, Family Food.
I make this each week – it’s very rich in nutrients and quite filling, so I only need two thin slices to feel satisfied. It’s dead easy to make – hope you enjoy it.
No Nut Hemp Bread
In Pete Evan’s recipe, he calls for the seeds and nuts to be activated and chopped. If I remember, I activate the nuts and sees by soaking the almonds in a covered bowl of water with a teaspoon of salt overnight (12 hours). Seeds only need soaking for 6 hours. Be sure to rinse them well. I don’t bother chopping them.
Why activate nuts and seeds? Apparently, “nuts contain phytic acid which when consumed binds to minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, chromium, potassium, and magnesium so they cannot be readily absorbed. Activating nuts lessens these phytataes.” source: Family Food
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf tin and smooth out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkled the extra seeds on top and pat down slightly so they stick into the batter.
What Is Grain Free Bread? Primal Cut
Bake for 45-50 mins. Be sure to use a skewer to test to see if it is cooked. If it comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the loaf, it’s cooked. Remove from oven and let cool in the tin before turning it out.
Ciao! I'm a passionate traveller, ex-chocoholic, food-lover, wino and people watcher. Eating a good meal can keep me on a high for two days. I enjoy supermarket shopping in foreign countries too - it's not weird! I always have a trip planned, always.
