Turmeric Bread Recipe

For 8-10 servings

Author: Chris

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes

Total Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients

300 gr millet flour
200 gr linseed/flax meal
1 tsp turmeric powder (or freshly grated turmeric)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp dukkah
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch sea salt
1 medium avocado
1 TBSP raw honey or maple syrup + 3 TBSP pomegranate molasses
250 to 300 ml water
Handful of currants (oil-free, sugar-free)
Cumin powder and coconut oil for brushing

Steps

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a tray with baking paper.
In a bowl, mix millet, linseed, all spices, baking powder, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, peel and mash the avocado. Add honey/maple and molasses and mix. Add 250ml water and mix.
Add the avocado mix to the dry ingredients and mix well by hand for 2-3 minutes until you have a sticky, firm dough. If you need, add a bit more water, a little at a time.
Mix in the currants.
Shape mini balls out of the dough, slightly flatten them (not too much though) and place them on the baking paper, making sure they don’t touch.
Brush with a bit of coconut oil and sprinkle cumin powder on each bun.
Bake for around 25 minutes. Check them after about 15 minutes and if the bottom browns more than the top, turn them over for the remaining time. To check if they’re done, poke 2-3 of them with a BBQ skewer and if it comes out clean and if the outside is golden brown, they’re done.
If they’re browning on the outside but are not fully cooked on the inside, cover them with all foil and continue to bake until fully done.
Allow them to completely cool before cutting.

This turmeric bread is not just a delicious addition to your table; it also helps restore balance and vitality to your body after a health scare. You’ll find it pairs beautifully with various toppings, making it a perfect choice for any meal.

Notes

Adjust the spices according to your preference.
