Gluten free seed loaf

Nicknamed 'pigeon bread' by daughter!

Based onJamie Oliver recipe in Sunday Times magazine

Gluten free seed bread
Heat oven to 190C, line large loaf tin with greaseproof paper

Mix a 7g sachet of dried yeast into 375ml of lukewarm water and 4tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. 

In a large bowl combine:
250g gram flour
100g ground almonds
50g linseeds
25g each of poppy, sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. (ie 100g of other seeds)
finely chopped leaves of a sprig rosemary
Pinch sea salt

Make a well in the middle. Beat 4 large eggs and pour into the well. Start combining with the flour mixture and continue whilst adding the yeast mixture.

It looks like a thick batter mix rather than a dough.

Pour it into the tin. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and leave for 20 minutes before eating.

This is very rich. Jamie has many toppings suggested as a post 'gym' snack. Half a slice with marmite (or gluten free alternative) does for me.
