I have experimented with lots of LCHF bread recipes (including many that have come out purple thanks to psyllium husk). I like the dense nutty flavour, but if you are looking for a less seeded bread, you can omit the seeds and add more ground almonds
Top Tip! – I don’t eat much bread so once cold, I slice this before placing in the freezer. When I want a slice of bread, I take one out, toast it or leave to defrost if I prefer a sandwich.
Makes 1lb loaf (approx. 8 thick slices)
