Expert explains how to prepare flour free high protein flaxseed bread

Bread remains a global staple, yet modern variations now seek to offer healthier, gluten-free alternatives. Dr Rupy Aujla shared a specialised six-ingredient, flour-free bread recipe on Instagram on Sunday.

This preparation is rich in protein and fibre, utilising flaxseeds for their anti-inflammatory properties and sunflower seeds for essential monounsaturated fatty acids.

Dr Aujla noted, “My 6-ingredient bread, that’s flour-free and doesn’t require any baking skills, is not only delicious, but gets me out of trouble on those busy mid-week mornings.”

The recipe requires 15 minutes of preparation and provides 12 slices:

• 300g flaxseed (linseed), milled
• 200g sunflower seeds
• 50g chia seeds
• 35g psyllium husk flakes
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 50g Kalamatta olives (pitted)
• 50g sun-dried tomatoes (drained)
• 400ml water
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method of preparation

• Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan and line a 900g loaf tin.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add olive oil and water to form a sticky dough.
• Scrape the mixture into the tin, pressing into the edges and smoothing the surface with a damp spoon.
• Bake for 60 minutes until firm, then remove from the tin and bake for another 15 minutes.
• Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

This bread is ideal for freezing and should be toasted before serving to achieve the best texture.
