Tips & Tricks
-
I combine a various of rolled flakes.
-
Batch cook 2 or more. Cut into 3rds and keep in the freezer til you need them.
-
Chill bread in fridge before slicing - this will make it easier. Slice it all, wrap well and store in an airtight container in the freezer to keep ultra fresh and remove, and toast as needed.
-
Use a chef's knife to slice, not a bread knife as this will tear and crumble the bread.
-
Keep your bread in the fridge. Nuts & seeds go rancid at room temp.
-
Press firmly down into the loaf tin for a firm easy to cut bread. Otherwise you will have a crumbly mess.
-
If for some reason yours is crumbly, worry not, waste not! Simply toast the crumbs on a baking trays and sprinkle over salads, soups etc
-
You can leave the unbaked bread in the tin overnight and bake in the morning if this suits your timings better.
-
Use whatever nuts you have on hand, or your preferred nuts. I love walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and macadamia.
