Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts), coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup seeds medley (sunflower, pumpkin, flaxseeds)
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (dill and rosemary), finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Nuts and Seeds: Coarsely chop the mixed nuts to create texture while keeping the seeds whole or lightly crushed for added crunch and depth.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, seeds medley, flaxseed meal, natural gelling agent, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and freshly chopped herbs. Mix well to form a sticky, slightly thick batter.
  4. Let the Mixture Rest: Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes so the flaxseed meal and natural gelling agent absorb moisture and bind the ingredients perfectly.
  5. Bake the Bread: Transfer the mixture into a lined loaf pan and smooth the surface. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-55 minutes until the bread is firm and golden brown on top.
  6. Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This resting step helps the texture settle so slices hold together beautifully without crumbling.

Notes

  • Lightly toast nuts and seeds before mixing to boost their nutty aroma.
  • Use fresh herbs and quality nuts to dramatically improve the flavor.
  • Cool fully on a wire rack to keep crust crisp and interior moist.
  • Add water gradually; the batter should be sticky but not overly runny.
  • Experiment with different herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
