Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups soymilk, unsweetened, plain
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ½ cup molasses
- 2 cups rye flour
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (plus 1 tablespoon for coating pan)
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/3 cup ground flax seeds
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Place soymilk and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl, stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir in molasses and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
- Add rye flour, 2 cups wheat flour, almonds, caraway seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, salt (optional), and baking soda. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth. Do not overmix, as it will toughen the batter.
- Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and add one tablespoon of the whole wheat flour. Shake the pan to distribute the flour all over the surface.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth surface with the spoon. It makes a very high loaf of bread, so it will completely fill the loaf pan.
- Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven, place pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan by loosening the sides with a knife. Allow to cool 30 minutes before slicing.
- Makes 16 thin slices. You can slice it into 12 thicker slices, according to your preference.
Notes
This recipe is very versatile. You can replace some of the whole wheat flour for oat flour, almond flour, chickpea flour, or peanut flour. You can also swap out the almonds for chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, or peanuts; and the flax seeds for hemp or chia. Try adding additional seasonings, such as anise, poppy seeds, fennel seeds, or cardamom to experiment with the flavors.
