Raw bread with sprouts, flax and vegetables. Flavored flax seed breads How to cook flaxseed breads

Finally, my hands reached the linen section, I’ve been wanting to write a review for a long time, and here it is.

I have been using flax for many years; I mainly use it for food, of course, but I also use it for beauty.

Flax is not an expensive product, and very useful, especially for women. I won’t tell you much about its benefits, you can find out about it yourself =)

The most common linen is brown (dark), there is also white. But I have never tried it, only urbech made from white flax, but there was a suspicion that it was not raw, but fried, so I have no idea what it tastes like raw.

Flax prices vary everywhere. If you buy it on the market by weight, it won’t be expensive. This year I was on vacation in Ukraine with relatives, so flax is generally cheap there, about 9-10 rubles kg, if you take it by weight.

Naturally I took some with me


Daily consumption of seeds in an amount of 25 grams will help restore all losses of nutrients for the full functioning of the body. This is a natural and high-quality product that does not cause harm if used correctly.

Linen is universal in everything. Not only is it delicious and you can make various delicacies from it, but it is also suitable for self-care.

It has this peculiarity - it is slimy if it comes into contact with water. For some this is a repulsive property.


At first, I was also not used to it, but soon I got used to it and take this property calmly.

By the way, green buckwheat also has this feature, but its mucus is not so thick.


Flax seed can be ground or taken whole.

I take it whole, because it’s much healthier this way. When I soak them, they sprout and become saturated, becoming alive.

I take the required amount of seeds, first wash them, then soak them overnight. By morning they are already saturated and covered in mucus. You can already make bread in this form, but you can wait a day or until the evening, then they will already begin to sprout. Although the difference is not great, when they are nourished, they also already perk up.

If you want to germinate them, you will need to transfer them into a wide plate in a thin layer.

For bread, the consistency of the seeds should be thick.

You can add anything to them, you can make them sweet.

I have dried tomatoes, dried bell peppers, dried herbs, and I add all this to the composition.

1. I take flax seeds that are already soaked and ready for further action.

They certainly don’t look appetizing, but that’s what flaxseed is for))



2. Finely grate the garlic (to taste). It is worth noting that when the bread dries out, the smell of garlic is not so strong. I add garlic to the previously soaked flax and mix.

3. I add pink salt.


4. I partially crush the dried tomatoes by hand, and grind the bulk in a coffee grinder along with dried bell pepper.


It turns out to be a spicy flour.

I mix all this thoroughly with flax.


5. I add dried herbs to taste. You can also add other seeds, but I make it purely from flax.


6. I spread it on a ceramic surface. You can lay it out in an even mass and immediately divide it into pieces, or you can lay it out partially.





I send all this to the battery for about an hour or two, until the top layer partially dries.

7. Be sure to turn them over, otherwise they will stick and will have to be scraped off later. I turn them over when the top layer is partially dry, this takes an hour or two, depending on how the batteries scorch.


8. They dry quite quickly, by the morning they are ready for me)) But everything takes maybe 4-5-6 hours.


You can do it in the oven or in a frying pan, but in my opinion this is much more convenient and healthier.

Crisps, also called Flaks, are an excellent substitute for bread, as well as other annoying breads, I think chip lovers will also like it))


I just love them, in this form, they fly away instantly! Once and for all - no, we ate it)) Delicious and crispy.

Good day, dear reader! This article will be useful for both raw foodists and people who want to eat healthy so as not to gain weight.

I realized a long time ago that bread greatly interferes with getting into good shape. What to do when sometimes you desperately want something bready with the same tomatoes or tea, or just to crunch?

Flax bread

How can bread be soggy? How to make it stick together? - you ask. Incredible, but it's very easy!

First of all, about the composition of the bread:

  • Carrot;
  • Onion;
  • Flax-seed;
  • Dried herbs;
  • Salt;
  • Garlic.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll definitely want to experiment. You can, for example, add flour or sunflower seeds to add flavor diversity, because it is so soothing to the psyche.

The cooking process is not at all complicated, watch this video and you will certainly be captivated by the cooking process

This is one of the easiest recipes for making raw flax bread. The video for making bread uses a vegetable dehydrator - very convenient. You can also prepare this bread in a dehydrator or on the stove about which there was an article on our blog.

But if you don’t have anything like this in your kitchen yet, then you can dry the bread by placing it on a radiator or in the sun. You can also use the oven. If you are not a raw foodist, then dry for 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 160-180 degrees. And for raw foodists, it is best to set the minimum, which allows the oven to dry for several hours.

These are breads made from chickpea flour. It is known that legume flour is an excellent substitute for eggs in lean dough.

Grind the chickpeas. You will have small flakes left in the flour; this is the shell of the peas, so you need to strain it through a sieve.

To make bread you will need the following products:

  • 200 g chickpea flour;
  • 70 g sesame seeds (leave whole or grind in a coffee grinder);
  • 250 – 300 ml. water;
  • 1 clove of garlic (grind in a mortar or squeeze in a garlic press, or grate);
  • 1.5 teaspoons of cumin (grind);
  • 2-3 tbsp. spoons of lemon juice;
  • 1 – 2 tbsp. tablespoons of cold-pressed olive or sesame oil;
  • Salt;
  • Seasonings to your taste – paprika, black pepper, herbs;

Let's cook. Mix flour with sesame seeds, salt, spices, water, oil and leave for 5 minutes. After the dough has settled, add the grated garlic. Mix everything thoroughly.

The dough is ready and we can put it on silicone dehydrator sheets.

Living bread recipe

This recipe is more complicated, but it is good for its variety. For example, it can be made from pumpkin by grinding it, or you can make them into buckwheat using not fried, but green buckwheat.

The composition of flour for miracle bread is as follows:

  • Flax – 300 g;
  • Sesame – 50 g;
  • Raw sunflower seeds – 50 g;
  • A pinch of coriander;
  • A pinch of cilantro;

We put it all into a food processor and grind it. When all the ingredients are mixed and we have flour, we must empty the processor by pouring the mixture into another container.

Now let's chop the vegetables, for this we will need:

  • 4 celery sticks;
  • 4 carrots;
  • One small onion;
  • 2 cloves of garlic;
  • 2 tomatoes;
  • Raisin;
  • Salt;
  • Lemon juice.

We also grind all this in a combine. You should get vegetable puree. Then add the already prepared flour and a little water.

Now, spread this mixture onto dehydrator sheets. Dry for about twelve hours.

Crispbread with tomatoes

Another fancy recipe. A large number of ingredients are also used here. This may inspire some and scare others. Don't be afraid to change things up or simplify them - the good thing about bread is that it's hard to mess up.

So, for cooking we need:

  • Carrots - 500 g
  • Celery - small bunch
  • Dill - small bunch
  • Medium size bell pepper - 2 pcs.
  • Chili pepper - 1 piece
  • Large onion - 1 piece
  • Small tomatoes - 4 pcs.
  • Lemon - 1 piece
  • Garlic - 3-4 cloves
  • Raisins - 100 g
  • Flax seed - 300g
  • Sunflower and pumpkin seeds - 100g
  • Sesame - 100g
  • Milk thistle seeds - 100g
  • Cumin, coriander (seed) - to taste

Sprouted buckwheat bread

For cooking we will need the following products:

  • 400 g - sprouted buckwheat (scroll through a meat grinder)
  • 400 g - carrots (grate on a fine grater)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 200 g - walnuts (chop in a blender)
  • a bunch of fresh herbs, herbs de Provence to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 50 g - flax seed (grind in a coffee grinder)
  • 50 gr —

How to cook - watch the video. By the way - please note - the sesame here comes whole, not ground. It is believed that whole sesame is not absorbed by the body, but if you grind it, the bread will taste bitter. Personally, I like the way whole sesame crunches in my teeth, and I like its bitterness when it’s ground.

The simplest raw breads

For last we left the simplest breads from. They differ in that they do not contain seasonings and additives in the form of vegetables.

Let's look at how to prepare them step by step:

1. We harvest wheat. To do this, we need to fill the wheat with water. After 6 – 8 hours, rinse and cover with gauze. After 10 hours it will begin to germinate. We are waiting for the sprouts to be about 2 - 3 mm.

2. Twist through a meat grinder.

3. Dry for 2 – 3 hours.

Our breads are ready. They are ideal as a base for a sandwich, for example with.

Conclusion

Of course, these are not all the recipes in the world for making raw bread, but you can experiment yourself to achieve the taste you want. For example, making onion or tomato bread.

Raw foodists believe that a person’s diet can consist entirely of raw foods. Ayurveda talks about 50 percent or more raw foods in the daily diet. However, there are subtleties to consuming live foods.

Flax contains vegetable protein, vitamins, microelements and fiber. But what makes it a unique product is Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the brain, provide an influx of energy, and increase thinking abilities.

Linen was known back in Ancient Greece for its healing properties. Hippocrates recommended using it for inflammation of the mucous membranes. Nourishing flax masks help smooth the skin.

In our family, we decided to use flax not as medicine, but as food. Several times a week we prepare flaxseed porridge and also treat ourselves bread(I don’t have time to cook them - they are eaten by our large family in an instant). Here's a wonderful one flax bread recipe, and cooked in a simple oven over low heat. It is ideal to cook these breads in a dehydrator, but we use the oven.

Here is the prescription:

1 cup white or brown flax seeds. Grind in a coffee grinder or powerful blender until powder. 1 chop medium sized onion 3 chop the garlic clove. Place all ingredients in a food processor, add 1/2 cup water and sea salt to taste. Mix. Place a baking bag on a baking sheet. Spread the flax mixture evenly in a thin layer, cut into rectangles and place in the oven on the lowest setting. Keep the oven door open. The goal is to keep the temperature below 60 degrees.

Cooking time is 2-3 hours, longer if possible - it will be drier. Yummy!!! It turns out even tastier if you add cilantro to the mixture; the smell is very attractive and appetizing.

I want to introduce you to the simplest and most common bread recipe. In fact, this is the most common raw food baking. It is prepared from sprouted wheat, flax seeds, almonds and salt. If desired, you can add a little onion, garlic, and pureed vegetables to the composition. That is, you can safely change the ingredients to your taste.

The resulting dough can be used to prepare all sorts of delicacies. For example, pizza, toast with fruit or vegetable filling, etc.

I would like to pay a little more attention to the two main components of this basic recipe. These are sprouted wheat and flax seeds.

wheat sprouts

It is best to use sprouted wheat when making bread. Why? Because wheat germ is a super nutritious and very healthy component. They contain so many valuable substances:

  • vitamins of groups B, C and E;
  • vegetable proteins (7.5 g);
  • fats 1.3 g;
  • carbohydrates 41.1 g;
  • minerals (especially a lot of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium);
  • fiber, etc.

In general, sprouted wheat is a strong biological stimulant. It perfectly cleanses the blood and normalizes metabolic processes in the body. In addition, its regular consumption improves immunity. This is such an amazing and useful product!

It is not difficult to germinate wheat. If you have a home sprouter, then there will be no problems at all.

But in principle, you can do without it by soaking the grains. True, such germination will take a little longer.

It is better to perform this procedure in the evening. Place the grains in a bowl or jar and fill with water. There should be enough water in the container to absorb the grains. Cover the top of the wheat with three layers of gauze. Leave the container in a warm place until the morning.

In the morning, be sure to rinse the grains several times. Then place gauze in a sieve and spread the wheat in a thin layer over the entire covered surface of the vessel. Cover the top of the grains with a cloth. Place the bowl with grains in a warm place and leave for a couple of hours. Remember that wheat germ must be constantly hydrated.

After a couple of hours, small white tails will begin to appear (they will be only 1-2 mm long). Select wheat with sprouts, and leave unsprouted wheat until it sprouts.

Typically, in hot weather, wheat germinates within 1 day. And when it’s frosty outside, this procedure can take 3 or more days.

Flaxseeds

It's not for nothing that this recipe contains flax seeds. They are very helpful. Flax seeds are rich in the following substances:

  • “youth vitamins” A and E, as well as vitamins of groups B and F;
  • amino acids;
  • antioxidants;
  • omega-3 fatty acids;

It has an excellent effect on the functioning of the intestines. Fiber helps stabilize sugar levels.

In addition, this is perhaps our best source of lignans - natural phytoestrogens hormones. These substances block the action of “bad” estrogens, which cause hormone-dependent cancers. By the way, lignans are found only in flax seeds, they are not in oil.

Please note that breads prepared according to the basic recipe from flax and wheat germ are salty.

They can be used for quick snacks or making delicious raw pizza. The easiest option: you will need a banana and dates. Mash the banana with a fork, add chopped dates and put this vitamin mass on the finished bread. I wrote how to cook pizza in the article “Raw food diet - simple recipes for every day.”

It is better to cook raw food breads in a dehydrator. This will make it easier for you to monitor their readiness. And there is a high probability that you will not dry out the bread. But if you don’t have this miracle device, you can make bread without a dehydrator. For example, in the oven. In this case, you will need a special grill. Set the oven temperature to low (preferably fan-assisted) and open the door slightly.

Remember that the finished bread should be dry and crispy on the outside, and slightly chewy on the inside. Store the cooled treat in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Crispbread, in my opinion, is one of the most important recipes on a raw food diet menu both in summer and winter. This is the basis included in raw food recipes for every day.

So, how to make raw bread from flax and seeds:

We will need:

  • - 200 g;

  • Onion - 1 pc. medium size, lemon juice and salt - for making pickled onions;
  • Salt - to taste;
  • dry herbs - I had a set of “Provencal herbs” and coriander - 0.5 tbsp each.

Cooking time - average.

First we do it - cut it finely (in this form it will fall into the dough), add salt and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cover the container in which we marinate the onions with a lid and shake thoroughly. Leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

We peel the carrots and pass them through a meat grinder.

Grind the flax and seeds in a coffee grinder. Combine all the ingredients (don’t forget about salt and herbs)

and knead the dough thoroughly.

Spread the dough quite thinly on a marshmallow sheet (i.e. a tray without holes).
