  • 1 hour 7 minutes

  • 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of oats
  • 2 cups of HerbaZest Amaranth Flour
  • 1 cup of Pumpkin seeds
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour (or whole-wheat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cups of water (warm)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons of dry active yeast (1 package)

Directions

To make your bread more wholesome, try enriching it with amaranth, a South American pseudocereal rich in all essential amino acids and other valuable nutrients. Adding pumpkin and oats will also boost the protein content, along with healthy fats, fiber, and key minerals. The combination results in bread that is soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and sturdy enough to use for healthy sandwiches.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl and knead them until you reach a fluffy-consistency dough. Add a little more flour if it seems wet or sticky.(5 minutes)
  3. Transfer the dough to a bread pan lined with parchment paper.(2 minutes)
  4. Bake for about an hour, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!(1 hour)
