Steps:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 °F/180°C, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and get ready all ingredients you need for this recipe.

Step 2

Grind the whole golden flaxseed (240 gr / 1 ½ cups) into very fine flour. If you are not sure your flaxseed meal is fine enough, sift it.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients: the flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder (40 gr / 4 tbsp), baking powder (12 gr / 2 tsp), and salt (3 gr / 1⁄2 tsp).

Step 4

Add warm water (320 ml / 1 1/3 cups warm water) and mix with a spoon until the flaxseed meal becomes sticky and holds together in a lump for some seconds. Then use your hands to roughly form a dough into a loaf shape. Don't over-knead the dough, this will result in a dense, flat loaf.

Step 5

Transfer the bread dough to the prepared baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or silicone mat). Wet the top of the dough and sprinkle it with extra whole flaxseed or sesame.

Step 6

Bake the bread for 50 minutes at 350 °F(180°C) until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.Note that it might take less or longer as each oven is different!
