You may just decide to make it more than once a week it’s that quick & tasty.

Ingredients

Dry:

3 ½ C Organic Spelt Flour (can use White or Wholemeal or a mix – white flour will produce a lighter loaf)

½ C Ceres Organic Amaranth Flour (plus 1 TBSP for sprinkling on top later)

3 TBSP Ceres Organic Chia Seeds (I used the black ones)

3 TBSP Organic Linseed

3 Tsp Bob's Red Mill Baking Powder

1 Tsp Himalayan Pink Salt (fine)

Wet:

300 ml Beer (Organic if you prefer but not low alcohol, I like a dark Beer personally)

100 ml Kefir (I use either coconut water kefir or raw milk kefir) or plain natural yoghurt

½ C Organic Coconut Oil (melted)

Method

1.       Preheat oven to 200oC.

2.       In a bowl throw all dry ingredients & stir thoroughly so well combined.

3.       Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients & pour the wet ingredients (mix will be quite wet & sticky but not runny, add more flour if too wet)

4.       Stir well with knife & dollop into a coconut oil greased loaf tin.  Sprinkle 1 TBSP of Ceres Organic Amaranth Flour on the top.  

5.       Bake for 30 – 50 minutes in oven (all ovens vary greatly) until risen, nicely browned & loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom of loaf tin.

6.       Serve with lashings of organic coconut oil or butter & your favourite winter soup.
