Caveman Paleo Bread

Before I gave up gluten I would gorge myself on bread. I loved bread. And still do. Luckily I have always been a big fan of rye bread and this Caveman Paleo Bread is as close to that as possible. It is dense, crumbly and oh so nutty. Just perfect with avocado, smoked salmon and poached eggs! I always have a slice or two with soup and it is great with a spread of almond butter on top. Cut it thinly and toast to enjoy it at its best. I have made this with half olive oil and half coconut oil and it came out just as perfectly. Fell free to mix up the nut/seed mix but make sure it all adds up to the same weight. 

You will need:

1 loaf tin - lined with baking parchment

Large mixing bowl

Hand whisk or free-standing mixer

100g pumpkin seeds

100g sunflower seeds

100g almonds

100g hazelnuts

100g linseed

50g chia seeds

50g flaxseed

5 eggs

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

pinch of sea salt

1/2 mashed banana

Heat your oven to 180 degrees centigrade. Put all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir to mix altogether. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and oil together. Pour this into the dry and keep mixing with the hand mixer for 30 seconds. 

Pour into your loaf tine and bake for 40-45 minutes. Take out of the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes before lifting it out with the edges of the parchment. Leave to cool completely. The bread normally lasts well for 8-9 days in a sealed tin or bag.
