Almond Semolina Bread

Contributed by: Melinda

What you need

  1. 1 cup almond meal (I use trader joe's, but you could use Bob's Red Mill, etc)
  2. 1/2 cup semolina flour
  3. 1/2 cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
  4. 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  5. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  6. 3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar (or use cream of tartar)
  7. 2 Tablespoons plain, nonfat yogurt
  8. 1/4 cup water
  9. 1 tsp agave nectar
  10. 2 tbl olive oil
  11. 3 eggs, beaten
  12. 1/2-1 tsp butter or soy margarine

How to make it

  1. Preheat oven to 350º
  2. Grease a standard size bread pan (approx. 8 x 4.5 x 3 inches) with soy margarine or butter
  3. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the base of the pan and grease it as well
  4. Combine all dry ingredients
  5. Combine all liquid ingredients
  6. Stir liquid ingredients into dry ingredients
  7. Pour into the pan and spread evenly
  8. Bake for 35 minutes - test with a toothpick which should come out clean when done. Bread also begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  9. Let stand 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and flip onto a rack to cool. Remove the parchment from the base of the bread.

When cool, I cut the whole loaf into thin slices and store in a plastic ziplock bag in the refrigerator. It's delicious on it's own, but also nice with some of the plain yogurt or unsweetened fruit spread. Occasionally for lunch I spread with a nice layer of yogurt sprinkled with salt and minced chives, topped with thin slices of cucumber.
