Seed Bread

.. and then there are those days that have you craving for bread! to sink your teeth into a sandwich and just dream yourself away  with  just that texture and flavor..  but..  it always contains something you shouldn't have, like,  gluten. I fell for that craving today.. but made this  bread instead. It's orignally posted at levamedlchf.se, in swedish I might add, and with the exception I didn't have any kesella in the  house, I  made a minor change and used doublecream instead, but it turned out just as  yummy!



You'll need:

3 eggs
3 dl  grated cheese
1 tbsp mayo
2 tbsp doublecream
1.5 tsp baking powder
5 dl unsalted seeds (I used pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, flax and psyllium)

1. Preheat oven to 250C (app. 482F)
2. Mix eggs, mayo, cream and baking powder together.
3. Add cheese and seeds. Mix until all is combined to a wet mess.
4. Spread out in pan with baking sheet, try get it flat and even.
5. Bake on middle shelf for 15 mins until golden.
6. Let cool down and  cut in 12-16 squares.


Trust me. These are so damned yum! You won't want  regular bread ever again..

However a krm (kryddmått) is  the equilavent of 1 milliliter = a 5th of a teaspoon.. 
in this recipe  it demands a bit less than a 5th of a teaspoon otherwise  the Stevia  might give a bit of a bitter aftertaste.
