Danish Stenalder Brød
Healthy, nutritious and filling, this ‘bread’ is so delicious you’ll want to bake it weekly. I’ve made several loaves this month so far for a variety of friends and functions. A healthy snack eaten on its own or add a little cheese or smashed avocado and you have a scrumptious lunch, that’s gluten-free too.
I say ‘bread’ it certainly looks like it however it contains absolutely no flour, no, none at all. This is a combination of nuts, seeds, fruit and eggs are the binder. Completely gluten-free, perfect for coeliac friends and guests alike. It freezes incredibly well too, in fact I slice it first and pop it into a bag, I can then take it out as and when I fancy a slice.
You won’t believe how easy this is to make too, it’s just a matter of combining ingredients, placing into a greased and lined loaf tin and baking, as easy as that!
