Need recipe for onion bread with no sprouts in it

[English Tracy]

I have seen recipes for onion bread but they all have sprouted grains as a base.

I cannot find buckwheat to sprout and my health shop doesn't appear to stock wheatberries any more.

Does anyone have a recipe that doesn't need sprouted grains, or I am actually asking the impossible?

I just want something to eat with my guacamole or nut butters - and I LOVE onions.

Thanks.

Thanks Revvell.

I have had a problem before with flax crackers that I have made (very bad wind/gas).

However, I have all the ingredients for this recipe so will maybe halve the quantities and try it out in the absence of a flax-less recipe being posted.

English Tracy,

I make the Onion Bread all the time, it's my favourite staple these days.

I sometimes leave out the sunflower seeds and add only ground flax seed plus some (1/3 cup maybe) pumpkin seeds. I also add some whole flax seed, it looks nice.

It's a great bread, I dehydrate it until cracker like, I like it crispy.

Excellant recipe from RAWvolution by Matt Amsden


2 large onions
3/4 cup flax seed ground
3/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup nama shoyu
1/3 cup olive oil

slice onions thinly ( food proc)
add remaining ingrediants and dehydrate @ 100 for 24 hrs flip for another 12 hours. cut into whatever shape you desire.

I have used this as bread for raw sloppy joes and then dehydrated it longer for chips to eat with salad any way you eat it it's yummy!

I have played around with the recipe for a bit:

1 cup ground flax
1/3 cup whole flax
1/2 cup ground sesame
1/3 cup whole sesame
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
2 lbs. onions

no oil, no salt

It's really nice, I like the sesame taste a lot. It's crackerlike and really yummie!

If I leave out the flax seeds and sub with something else, will that be a disaster?

I really don't think flax seeds agree with me.

What do the flax seeds add that something else doesn't?

Any ideas on what to use instead would be welcome - I've already said on other posts that I'm not very creative!!

The recipes you have all added look great but it's just that darn flax that makes me nervous!!

tracy,

why don't you just try? Half the recipe and use only sunflower and maybe some other ground seed you like.

In my post above yours I wrote how I used sesame and pumpkin seeds - still flax, but you can substitute it.

I believe that flax is the best to absorb liquid, so your bread/crackers without flax might be a bit crumbly, but best thing really is to try.

Maybe just 1 lb of onions and a cup of ground seeds - plus whatever you like and there you go ;)

Has anyone tried Matt Amsden's RAWvolution Onion Bread recipe with success? I've got a batch in the dehydrator right now, but I'm extremely doubtful if it will turn into anything remotely resembling a bread or cracker. It looks like an awful lot of onions with a tiny bit of sunflower/flax seed flour.

The recipe in the RAWvolution book states:

3/4 cup flax seed, ground
3/4 cup sunflower seeds, ground

and I'm wondering if it should read:

3/4 cup ground flax seed
3/4 cup ground sunflower seeds

because there's a significant different in volume between whole and ground seeds.

How about the onions, James? What's the quantity?

The onion bread I make all the time calls for
2.2 lbs onion
1 cup sunflower seeds, ground
1 cup flax seeds, ground

I have reduced the seeds to maybe
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, ground
3/4 cup flax seeds, ground

And mine looks like an awful lot of onion with some ground seeds ;)

But you might be right about the reading (ground vs. whole) - have you checked the instructions of the book of how to read them?

Hi Mel:

The recipe calls for three large yellow onions... which is what I used. As to the instructions, there really aren't any. And I've also discovered a few typos throughout the book. I wish the basic recipe conventions that are standard in the cooked-food world would be used by all those writing recipes in the raw world. Where oh where is our raw Julia Child when you need her?

James,

I am confused all the time when it comes to soaked vs. unsoaked, ground vs. whole and so on. I also wish the recipes would use a more standardized lanugage.

BTW: My onion bread is more like a cracker thingy. The more onions, the more like a cracker. I like it that way and I don't want to put in too much flax or other seeds b/c onion bread is a bit addictive to me and I don't want to overeat.

i love the onion bread recipe, and i love experimenting!!
i like adding as much other types of seeds and nutrition as possible, so thanks for adding this style to the recipe!!! :)

1/3 cup whole flax
1/2 cup ground sesame
