Ingredients
1 cup / 135g sunflower seeds� cup / 90g flax seeds� cup / 65g almonds (or hazelnuts)1 � cups / 145g rolled oats2 Tbsp. chia seeds4 Tbsp. psyllium seed husks (3 Tbsp. if using psyllium husk powder)1 tsp. fine grain sea salt (add � tsp. if using coarse salt)1 Tbsp. maple syrup (for sugar-free diets, use a pinch of stevia)3 Tbsp. ghee (or coconut oil melted)1 � cups / 350ml water
Directions
1. In a flexible, silicon loaf pan combine all dry ingredients, stirring well. Whisk maple syrup, ghee/oil and water together in a measuring cup. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix very well until everything is completely soaked and dough becomes very thick (if the dough is too thick to stir, add one or two teaspoons of water until the dough is manageable). Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Let sit out on the counter for at least 2 hours, or all day or overnight. To ensure the dough is ready, it should retain its shape even when you pull the sides of the loaf pan away from it it.

2. Preheat oven to 350�F / 175�C.

3. Place loaf pan in the oven on the middle rack, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove bread from loaf pan, place it upside down directly on the rack and bake for another 30-40 minutes. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool completely before slicing (difficult, but important).

4. Store bread in a tightly sealed container for up to five days. Freezes well too � slice before freezing for quick and easy toast!

    I tried with chia seeds and flax meal instead of the psyllium and quinoa instead of the oats, and it turned out great! What a brilliant solution for our gluten, egg, oat and corn free household! - 5/25/13

    Worked beautifully first time round. V crumbly and not holding together ever since. I might have used a little less water than the recipe recommended.....
    V grateful for any tips as it is delicious. - 10/26/15

    Made this today for the first time and it's delicious! It is really hearty and has great texture. I baked it about 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for but otherwise I did everything to the letter and didn't have any issues. The recipe's a keeper. Slice it up and freeze it! - 7/27/14

    I used ground psyllium husks and there were section of the powder that stayed powdery. Not too pleasant. I ate with pb on top of the not powdery sections and it was good. Sunflower flavor was surprisingly muted. I didn't have a silicon pan, so used glass with parchment paper - 1/28/14
