I make this all the time and thought you might be interested. It is from Gabriel Coussens Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine. It's the Apple Flax bread.

Instead of forming into a log as directed then slicing I spread it from corner to corner on my teflex sheet then cut with a pizza wheel (what else am I going to use it for :rolleyes: ?)

I have found the dough keeps exceptionally well and make FOUR times the recipe and freeze in managable sizes. Also the dehydrates slices keep forever too :eek:

I will post recipe in a bit - I brought in the wrong book!

Enjoy!

OK, here it is. PG 318 from Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine. It's called Apple-Cinnamon Bread.

2c. golden flax seeds, ground (brown falx is fine too, as is some whole some ground)
1c. almonds, soaked
1/2c. raisins, soaked (I add 1/2c. more at end)
1c. appple grated (I add one more, have this be quartered)
2t. cinnamon (I add more)
1/2t. salt
1/2 vanilla bean (I just use extract as the bean is so expensive! :o )

:) Process almonds in food processor until meal like.
:) Process raisins, QUARTERED apple & vanilla until smooth adding raisin soak water as needed.
:) Combine all ingredients including my extra additions of the GRATED apple & whole raisins and mix well. This should be done by hand as you want the textur of the apples & raisind to stay intact.

:) Spread on teflex sheets. I use an off set spatula dipped in water and spread to the corners. I dehydrate at 145 for just and hour and then I can take off the teflex. Finish at your chosen temp say 100 over night. It's at a firmness of your own choosing. I use a pizza wheel to cut into thirds one way and then again the other way.

I find this to be a very flexable recipe you can add anything you like

Is it absolutely crucial to soak the almonds for a full 24 hours, or can I <ahem!> skip that and just use unsoaked? :D

To be honest I'm not a stickler for soaking. Although I just put them in to soak before i go to bed then just use them in the a.m., I dont time it! So no I don't think it is nessasary. :rolleyes: Also this recipe says to leave you almond meal a bit course to give additional texture to the bread.

I have also for the first time soaked and dehydrated my entire batch of nuts just so they are ready for a recipe. I'm not so keen on almond that way for just snacking but for cooking it saves a step. :p

I made this last night, but only used 1/2 cup ground flax, and added 1 cup oatmeal...in the processor after all ingred added, just for a quick whirl. I
haven't tried it yet, but my dh said it's very good. I don't like using quite as much flax as it called for..

That sound yummy. Im sure i would love it but we are a grain free household due to allergies. Thanks for sharing! :)

Oh...too bad, I didn't know. Grains are so versatile, but good to avoid with allergies.

Ooooohhh - yummmyyyy!! :) It came out of the dehydrator just after lunch today, and I couldn't help myself - ate enough to make my tummy sore.
Now I'm just waiting on my raw almond butter to arrive (I've tried to make my own ... disaster every time!!) and I'll be in heaven. :D
