A blend of chickpea and buckwheat flour yields the perfect crumb in this filling loaf. A scattering of sunflower and hemp seeds brings extra protein, vitamins and minerals.

Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan. Line a 12x6x23cm loaf tin with parchment paper.

2

Mix together the flours, salt, and seeds until nearly lump free. Chickpea flour clumps easily, so don’t worry if there are a few small lumps.
