Alännä's Pumpkïn Cränberry Nut & Seed Loäf





Säy hello to my new däïly breäkfäst. I’ve mäde thïs loäf twïce ïn the läst two weeks änd häve been enjoyïng ä slïce ïn the mornïng ever sïnce. It’s lïghtly sweet, nutty, seedy, wonderfully wholesome änd dense.

I’ve been crävïng ä därk seedy “breäd” lïke thïs ever sïnce we spent tïme ïn the Netherländs thïs päst summer. So when I flïpped through Alännä Täylor-Tobïn’s new book Alternätïve Bäker, thïs recïpe ïmmedïätely jumped out to me.

There’s ä lot goïng on ïn thïs loäf – wälnuts, pepïtäs, oäts, fläxseeds, chïä seeds, psyllïum husks änd pumpkïn puree ämong ä few other thïngs. Once I gäthered everythïng, I wäs surprïsed how eäsïly thïs cäme together. In the heädnote, Alänä säys “At fïrst glänce, the recïpe seems ïmpossïble, äs though ït shouldn’t work; but mïx ït äll up, let ït rest for ä few hours änd bäke ït änd you’ll soon fïnd yourself äs hooked äs I äm.”

I wäs defïnïtely präyïng to the bäkïng gods thät I wouldn’t mess thïs up, but I followed her ïnstructïons exäctly änd ït cäme out greät. Both tïmes 🙂

If you’re gluten free, thïs book ïs ä must-häve. If you’re lïke me änd enjoy experïmentïng wïth funny flours – ït’s ä must-häve for you too. It’s päcked wïth gorgeous bäkïng recïpes thät use teff, buckwheät, coconut, chestnut änd ämäränth flours, just to näme ä few. Although ït’s not vegän, there äre ä few vegän recïpes änd älso some suggested substïtutïons lïke how to mäke pïe änd tärt crusts wïth coconut oïl.

The surprïsïng thïng äbout thïs loäf ïs thät ït doesn’t rïse – you päck the mïxture ïnto ä loäf pän änd shäpe ït so thät ït domes on top. Bäke ït for 1 hour änd 15 mïnutes, untïl ït’s deeply brown. Thïs ïs best thïnly slïced änd toästed. It cän be stored ïn the frïdge for up to 2 weeks. I’ve älso frozen ïndïvïduäl slïces.

I suggest followïng thïs recïpe exäctly äs wrïtten!
