Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 500g (2 cups) Greek yoghurt
  • 6 eggs
  • 225g (2 cups + 4 tbsp) ground almonds
  • 12g (1 tbsp) baking powder
  • 5ml (1 tsp) salt
  • 36g (6 tbsp) psyllium husks
  • 60g (6 tbsp) chia seeds
  • 30g (4 tbsp) mixed seeds

Instructions

  1. Line a 22cm/2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.
  2. Using a stand mixer, mix the eggs and yogurt until you reach an even consistency.
  3. Tip in the ground almonds, baking powder and salt. Mix.
  4. Add the psyllium husks, chia seeds and half of the seed mix. 
  5. Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/340°F/gas mark 3. 
  6. Scrape the dough into the lined tin and let it rest for 15 minutes. 
  7. Once the time it up, sprinkle with the remaining mixed seeds and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick comes out dry when inserted. 
  8. Serve warm with your favourite toppings. Alternatively, store in an airtight container for no more than 3 days. 

Notes

  • You can substitute the Greek yogurt with quark. 
  • You can use a combination of your favourite seeds to add to the bread as well as to top it with. In this case, I used pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds. 
  • This bread is freezer friendly.
