Instructions
Preparing the Bread
- Prepare the dry ingredients: Grind almonds in a coffee grinder until they form a coarse flour. In a large bowl, combine ground almonds, psyllium husk, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, baking powder, oregano, and salt.
- Toast the seeds: Lightly toast pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add to the dry ingredients mixture.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs (or egg whites) with yogurt until well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a thick dough forms. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow psyllium husk to absorb moisture.
- Prepare baking cups: Grease individual cups or muffin tins with vegetable oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds to prevent sticking.
- Fill and top: Divide dough among prepared cups. Brush tops with vegetable oil and sprinkle with additional sesame seeds.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Making the Herb Spread
- Prepare spread: While bread cools, combine cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped green onions, parsley, dill, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cool and serve: Allow bread to cool completely before removing from cups. Serve with herb spread.
