LSA Bread V2.0

This is version 2.0 of the Keto LSA Bread. I switched up the proportion i.e., 3 parts sunflower seeds, 2 parts linseeds (flaxseeds) and 1 part almond and it resulted in a much lighter and softer bread compared to version 1.0 which was denser. LSA stands for a blend of Linseeds (Flaxseeds), Sunflower Seeds and Almonds. This combination of seeds and nuts is recommended as part of women's healthcare in Australia. In Australia, LSA is widely recognized and available at mainstream grocery stores. It was Dr Sandra Cabot ‘s book, The Liver Cleansing Diet that made this mix popular. This mix is an amazing source of dietary fiber, protein, omega fatty acids, minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium, copper and zinc, and vitamins A, B, D and E. LSA cleanses the liver by supplying it with easily digestible nutrients. Linseeds and flaxseeds are the same thing. Nutritionally they are the same, the only difference can be seen in the plant itself. Linseed is a shorter plant, with lots of branches and lots of seeds. Flaxseed is taller (3 foot) with fewer branches. The major difference between flaxseed and linseed is simply a matter of purpose. When consumed as a food, it is called flaxseed; when used for other purposes, it is typically referred to as linseed, according to a September 2014 article in the Journal of Food Science and Technology. Linseed meal may be used in feed for livestock or to make fabric or paper, but flaxseed meal is the type we find on grocery store shelves, or we can make at home by finely grinding the seeds.

Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

Raw Sunflower Seeds = 180 g / 1 1/2 cup

(The sunflower seeds should be finely ground. You can refer to this video on how to grind the sunflower seeds)

Linseeds (Flaxseeds) = 120 g / 1 cup

(Note: Linseeds are basically the same as flaxseeds. I used golden flaxseeds in the video, but you can choose to use brown flaxseeds too except that the color will be darker. The golden flaxseeds are finely ground in my multi grinder. If you're using flaxseed meal, do grind it further until a finer texture.so that the bread will be lighter)

Almond flour = 60 g / 1/2 cup

Baking Powder = 16 g / 4 tsp

Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp

Whole Psyllium Husks = 27 g / 3 tbsp (Note: The psyllium husks must be ground until half its original volume before using then weigh it.)

WET INGREDIENTS

Egg Whites = 8 large (285 g) OR 4 whole large eggs

(Note: The protein from egg whites helps to boost the rise while the fats from egg yolks hinders the rise. Using egg whites also prevents any eggy taste. Hence, it is recommended to use egg whites)

Apple Cider Vinegar = 45 ml (3 tbsp)

Hot or boiling water = 200 ml (2/3 cup + 2 1/2 tbsp)

Directions

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale

2.  Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.

3.  In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until well combined.

4.  Add all the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough is formed.
