Notes

Psyllium husk comes in either a fine powder or a coarse powder. One tablespoon of the fine powder weighs 15g, and one tablespoon of the coarse powder weighs 5g, so be sure to use the gram weight, not the tablespoon measure, when measuring.

Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper, or lightly grease with olive oil. Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C fan.

2

Place the chia seeds, psyllium husk, oats, nuts, seeds, and salt into a large bowl. Stir to combine.

3

Pour in the water and olive oil and mix well.

4

Scrape the mixture into your prepared tin. If you like, you can leave it to soak for 30 minutes - 8 hours at this stage.

5

Bake for 60 minutes. Remove from the tin and bake for a further 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.

I loved it!

Mackenzie 1 week ago

I can’t Believe how easy this bread is to make, and how filling and delicious it is. I’ve been eating it every morning for breakfast. I also like it with goat cheese, then slathered with strawberry jam. But I don’t think the sugar from the jam counts as long as it’s organic, right?

Sonya 1 week ago

Easy to put together and despite serving size being smaller than "normal" bread, it is really quite satisfying. Add to it how healthy it is, and it's a real winner.

Delicious! I added chopped dried apricots and prunes and it made it so moist and a tiny bit sweet. Love it plain or with hummus or goat cheese on top.

Doctor's daily bread is absolutely delicious! I honestly couldn't believe how delicious it tastes, it came together so quickly, holds together and it's so healthy. We toasted it, topped it with homemade basil and spinach pesto and served it alongside lentil vegetable soup. Our family loved it. Thank you Dr. Rupy!

It tastes great toasted

Brilliant recipe and really tasty.

Jackie 1 month ago

Lovely, lovely recipe! I appreciate the fiber and protein amounts in this yummy loaf!!! It will be in my rotation for sure ❤️ Thank you!

Maja 1 month ago

I am not sure about this one 🤔. First of all it completely falls apart, it’s nothing like bread. Maybe I didn’t chop the nuts enough, I don’t know. But I definitely cannot use as bread, nothing will stay on it. I feel like it’s missing a binder of sorts (egg whites perhaps?). I don’t think I’ll be making it again.

Weird bouncy texture, a bit like a slice of undercooked stuffing. Definitely not a bread texture. Expensive mistake!

1 month ago

Amazing! Thank you. This recipe is great because you can vary the nuts and seeds to get slightly different breads, but it has worked every time. One of our favorites is almonds pulsed course with pumpkin, black sesame, hemp and flax. I did but back slightly on salt and olive oil because some of my toppings are salty and I found with the nut oils, I didn't need much olive oil. Delicious! It is a new staple.

The bread was delicious and had lots of good ingredients. would like to see the calorie counts with all the nuts and seeds. The recipe and video were very helpful.

Great breas, I bake it with nutrition yeast as additional ingredient and Substitute salt with miso, very recommendable. I also reduce to 170C oven tey

Nina 1 month ago

This tastes much better than it looks ! I have some stashed in the freezer now. Good tip to put it top down before slicing. If too crumbly for your toaster, an air fryer will do the job nicely !

It's bread, Jim, but not as we know it. Very very weird. Full of good things but somehow tasting like... nothing on earth. Couldn't make myself eat it. Sorry, Doc, but no.

Shirley 2 months ago

Perfect voor slides in the freezer, so easy lunch with some hummus. Love it

Remember to stir it vigorously after adding water with the psyllium

Roseann 2 months ago

I enjoyed making and eating this bread will definitely make again

Sam 2 months ago

This is my go to bread, so easy to make and I often tweak the ingredients and add pecans or cracked linseed. Game changer for my gut too. Love it!

Helen 2 months ago

Baked this bread immediately after combining all the ingredients and was pleased with the texture which held together well.

Anna 2 months ago

This works very well and gives a good texture ! I might add some chopped dried fruit next time for a breakfast version.

Penny 3 months ago

Love this bread so filling and delicious

Matthew 3 months ago

This was a fantastic alternative to mass produced shop bought bread. Texture and taste was fantastic. Eastport to bake, just slop it together, mix it bake it, boom. All done. I did find it heavy and as I have Diverticular Disease it was a bit heavy for my gut right now, but will be coming back to it for sure. Keeps brilliantly in the fridge.

Kelly 3 months ago

I’m exploring more seed and nut types with this recipe. Nigella seeds for that cardamom smell.

Jacqueline 3 months ago

Love this! It’s delicious, filling and easy to vary using different seeds and nuts so each time is different.

Delicious + so so simple.
A new regular recipe for sure.
Thank you!

Diane 4 months ago

Great! Added a bit more water second time around and trying cranberries and cinnamon. I was wondering what would happen if I added one mashed banana? Thought it might add some nice texture?

Katherine 4 months ago

Surprisingly good. Added crushed rosemary and onion powder… Toasted with a tiny drizzle of honey

Kimberly 5 months ago

Excellent bread. I baked in in small loaf pans and cut into crackers.

I'm not the first person to say this, so I'll just join the chorus. This bread is a staple, my every morning breakfast. I can't imagine how I ever made it through the day before I met it, so thanks, Dr. Rupy! I serve it with a homemade date and onion chutney for a really nice start to the day.

Sarah 5 months ago

Delicious!

Lynda 5 months ago

This bread is a staple for my husband and I. We sometimes double recipe so we have a loaf frozen and ready.
Such a great recipe. We often include some ground flaxseed as part of the seed mix. If so, then we usually need to add some more water.

We find that it toasts up great on a sandwich press.
One favourite ways to have it is to toast then top with mashed banana, cottage cheese, tahini and a small drizzle of maple syrup. An easy breakfast.

Jane 5 months ago

Brilliant recipe - and obviously bespoke to what i had in cupboards/ freezer -
All nuts and seeds live in my freezer so they stay fresh but this used up lots of bits

Having it with Medicinal soup today - love both

Sliced and frozen the bread so i take a slice at a Time

Piers 5 months ago

Excellent

Liz 5 months ago

This is now Lizzie’s Daily bread!!! It’s the best t recipe I have yet found to replace something to put my favourite cheese on and do my gut biome good too.. AND it’s super tasty!! (Not to mention super easy to make)

Katja 5 months ago

Genius bread, very easy to make. Turned out perfectly on the fist try.

Sue 6 months ago

My go to bread. Easy to make. I cook two at a time. Slice once cooled & keep batches in the freezer.

Gaynor 6 months ago

This is permanently in my freezer for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. I just use the nuts and seeds I have available. It's a great pantry ckean up recipe by using all of the left over nuts and seeds. I've shared the recipe with a friend who now also has it in the freezer at all times.

Bianca 6 months ago

This is a regular staple for us now. I add a mixture of pumpkin, sunflower and hemp seeds. Well chopped almonds, cashews and walnuts. Leave it to soak the whole night (sometimes it’s gone 24hrs!).
I’ll be trying with raisins and cinnamon, nutmeg next as I’m missing that sweet option.

Kate 6 months ago

Best “bread” ever!

Julie 6 months ago

I needed a tasty bread that would give me sustained energy, and at last I’ve found it! And even better - it’s so easy to make.

Jean 6 months ago

I just made a third loaf. Loved the first one! Added raisins to the second one! Even better. The third one has cranberries. I haven’t baked it yet, but I’m sure it will be delicious! I love this recipe! I like to eat a slice with peanut butter and homemade strawberry chia jam.
