THE BENEFITS OF RAW BREAD

Raw bread is nutrient-dense and full of anti-inflammatory properties for good gut health. It is made

up of unprocessed, whole plant-based, preferably organic foods, such as dark leafy greens, that

contain good fiber, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory benefits, cancer protective compounds, and

flavonoids which help decrease oxidative stress in the body and reduce inflammation in the gut.

Eating dark leafy greens can require a lot of chewing to break down for the body to digest. Putting

dark leafy greens in a food processor with an S blade enables them to be ground down without

decreasing their nutritional content.

Raw food is dehydrated at 104-105 degrees F (still considered raw when cooked at these degrees or

below) to retain nutritional value and preserve food enzymes. Add detox foods, such as onions,

garlic, ginger, and good fat, such as coconut oil, plus fresh organic herbs and your favorite spices,

and you have very healthy food for your body.

Raw bread is also great for kids’ lunches. It can be used for burger buns, sandwich bread, wraps, or

as a nutritious snack.

INGREDIENTS

Buckwheat groats Buckwheat groats are not wheat. They are a stem of the rhubarb family. They are good in recipes

for individuals who cannot eat nuts, seeds, or flaxseeds and are used by many raw foodies to make

raw/paleo granola, crackers, and breads. Nuts and seeds add great flavor and texture to bread

because they act as binders (hold the bread together). Buckwheat groats are an excellent

replacement because they also bind the bread.

flavonoids in buckwheat have an antioxidants that help with inflammation in the gut and decrease

oxidative stress in the body

help decrease free radicals in the body that can cause inflammation & disease

said to have anticancer properties

Coconuts I use Thai coconuts in a few of my recipes. I get mine at a natural grocer nearby, but you can order

in bulk online. I also like to use coconut vinegar because of its healthy properties, and it is less

intense than apple cider vinegar, but yet it is fermented like apple cider vinegar. It helps reduce the

bitterness of dark leafy greens. It’s very popular in Southeast Asia.

Filtered water

I sometimes mention to add filtered water to the batter if it looks too thick. Generally speaking, we

want a pancake-like batter consistency with a medium-smooth thickness. Slowly adding water can

make chunky, super-thick batter into a better bread batter.

Nutritional yeast I use this in many of my recipes to create a non-dairy cheesy flavor. It is high in vitamin B and other

properties, but some individuals believe they have a food allergy to it. I list it as optional in the

recipes and provide substitutions.

Oils MCT oil is full of medium-chained fatty acids and is superior to coconut oil. I do use extra virgin

unrefined coconut oil, too, but MCT oil is the good stuff—the fat burning “stuff”—of the coconut

oil. I use it in a few recipes for texture and because it’s so widely used in the paleo and ketogenic

communities. (People on a ketogenic diet go for low-carb, high-fat, and moderate protein so their

body will burn ketones instead of glucose for energy. It is said to put the body in fat-burning mode.)

Resistant starch I talk about “resistant starch” in a date-banana recipe. Basically, I prefer using green bananas

because they contain a starch that is difficult for our bodies to digest, thus it won’t spike insulin as

much as ripe bananas do. Plus, green bananas dehydrate nicely! To open a green banana, cut off

the edges, slice the banana in half, and use your fingers to take the banana out!

PREPARATION

Soaking and sprouting Buckwheat groats should be soaked for 7 hours only and rinsed thoroughly to make them more

digestible. Leaving them out in a fine mesh colander over the top of a large mixing bowl is a good

extra step to take for the activation of food enzymes. The groats grow little tails. As they’re

sprouting, they need to be rinsed with filtered water a few times throughout the day. The sprouting

process will take about a day. Then, you’ll want to dehydrate them for 24 hours so that they’re dry

for preservation purposes. I usually make a big batch and store in a few large mason jars.

So the method is: SOAK 7 hours. SPROUT for a day. DEHYDRATE for 24 hours. STORE.

The reason I soak nuts/seeds/grouts is to reduce the PHYTIC ACID in them:

Why is it so important to remove/reduce phytic acid (phytates)?

Phytic acid is an antinutrient found in grains and legumes that binds important minerals and thus

prevents your body from fully absorbing them. Consumption of high levels of phytates:

• results in mineral deficiencies, leading to poor bone health and tooth decay

• blocks absorption of zinc, iron, phosphorous, and magnesium

• causes the body to leech calcium

• lowers metabolism

• contributes to anemia

I soak nuts for cooking for two reasons: helps ease the blending when making batter because the

nuts have become softer and helps rid most of the phytic acid in them. Just note to rinse well after

soaking with filtered water. There are charts online that will tell you how long to soak specific nuts

and seeds.

I recommend grinding raw whole flaxseeds yourself in a coffee grinder because pre-ground bags of

flaxseeds are oxidized and therefore not so good for us.

Nuts, seeds, and flaxseeds create pliable breads that are good for sandwich wraps because they are

bendy. The buckwheat groats produce flatbreads that are a little thicker and piece apart, so they’re

good as a side bread with a meal or for buns (hamburger buns/sandwich bread). Many raw foodies

use buckwheat groats for crackers because they can produce a good crunch if dehydrated long

enough in combination with other ingredients! (Just to give you an idea of the ingredients behind

my breads).

PROCESS

Blending and scraping This is a good order to follow while mixing to make sure everything gets blended. Sometimes, you’ll

need to scrape the insides of the food processor.

Put in nuts/seeds/sprouted groats--- BLEND in food processor

Put in chopped bell pepper---BLEND, scrape down sides, and blend again

Put in liquids---BLEND

Put in herbs---BLEND

Put in greens---BLEND

Blending greens When adding 3-4 handfuls of greens, depending on the size of the food processor, I will fill up to the

top with a couple handfuls, blend, then put in a couple more handfuls. This avoids bits and pieces

not getting blended. We want the mixture in every case to be well-blended for the raw breads.

Every texture should be a little thinner than pancake consistency.

Dehydrating—some troubleshooting tips I will often call for dehydrating “overnight” because I’ve found the best time to dehydrate goodies is

while you are sleeping so they are ready the next morning. Also, it’s easier to track the time

because we should be sleeping 8-10 hours a night (I wish, right!!??). But, the key here is to

dehydrate the bread for 8-10 hours or until dry enough so that you can peel the parchment paper

off after flipping the bread over, then dehydrate again for 1-2 hours or until completely dry but still

pliable (meaning you don’t want to dehydrate too long because it may get too dry).

That said, times may vary with different dehydrators, climates, etc. So, I may say dehydrate 8-10

hours, but it will be different for every dehydrator. Just do a few recipes, and you’ll get to know

what works for you and generally how long it takes to dehydrate your various breads.

I also say “use 1-2 trays,” but again, it depends on which model of dehydrator you have and how

large the trays are. Just aim to spread the batter approximately ¼-inch thick evenly across the tray

and use as many trays as needed until you have used all of the batter.

Too dry?

If you dehydrate bread for too long and it is too dry, wet your fingertips with water and lightly

massage into the top of the bread. This will soften it!

STORAGE

Generally everything I make should be stored in the fridge, in a sealed glass container.

TOOLS

You will need a dehydrator, parchment paper, and a food processor with an S blade attachment and

a slicing attachment. All of my recipes require these tools!

Raw Arugula Brazil Nut Flatbread

This recipe contains nuts.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup soaked raw Brazil nuts (soak in filtered water for 3 hours) 1/4 cup filtered water 2 tablespoons coconut vinegar 2 teaspoons cumin 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 3-4 large handfuls organic arugula 1/3 cup nutritional yeast 2 tablespoons ground golden flaxseeds (ground in a coffee grinder)

Process: Blend your Brazil nuts first until well ground. Add all other ingredients, except your flaxseeds, in a food processor with an S blade until your batter is smooth. Very slowly add filtered water if the batter is really thick to thin it out. You want your batter to be pancake batter consistency. Pour your batter into a large mixing bowl and add your ground flaxseeds. Let batter sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flaxseeds. Pour batter evenly onto 1-2 dehydrator trays lined with parchment paper and spread out evenly with a spatula or the head of a large metal spoon. Set your trays in the dehydrator and dehydrate at 105 degrees F for 8-10 hours or until the top of the bread is dry. Flip your bread over, peel off the parchment paper, and dehydrate another 1-2 hours or until your bread is fully dry but still pliable. Note: Brazil nuts just need to be soaked and rinsed. They do not sprout. This bread is great for dipping into sauces or into extra virgin unrefined coconut oil!

Raw Buckwheat Raisin Bread

This recipe is nut-free.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup sprouted buckwheat groats 2 tablespoons coconut oil 1/4 cup raisins 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3 handfuls spinach 2 tablespoons coconut water

Process: Soak your buckwheat groats for 7 hours in filtered water (make sure water lies an inch above the groats in a medium mixing bowl). Rinse well. To sprout your groats, set them in a mesh colander on top of the mixing bowl (mixing bowl will catch the excess water that drains from the groats). Leave the groats on your countertop for 24 hours. Rinse them twice with filtered water. You will soon see little tails sprouting from your groats. They are now ready for your recipe! I prefer to soak and sprout 2 cups at a time, then I dehydrate them for 24 hours and store in a sealed glass mason jar so they are ready to go when I need them! Blend your buckwheat groats in a food processor with S blade until powder-like. Then mix all of your other ingredients in the food processor until smooth. Pour onto a dehydrator tray lined with parchment paper and spread evenly with a spatula or the head of a large spoon.

Raw Sunflower Seed and Dill Bread

This recipe is nut-free.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup sprouted sunflower seeds 4 tablespoons extra virgin unrefined coconut oil 2 teaspoons coconut aminos 1 tablespoon coconut vinegar 2 tablespoons Karam’s Garlic Sauce (mix of olive oil, lemon, and garlic) 1 large head of fresh dill (approx. 1 cup packed) 4 large handfuls organic mixed greens 1 teaspoon cumin 2 tablespoons ground golden flaxseeds 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (optional)

Process: Soak your raw sunflower seeds in filtered water for 8 hours. Rinse well and leave on your countertop in a mesh colander for a day, rinsing a few times with filtered water, until you see little tails. Sprouting the seeds fires up the food enzymes and makes them more digestible. In a food processor with an S blade, mix your ingredients in this order: Seeds first. Mix until smooth. Then add the rest of your ingredients except for the flaxseeds. Mix until smooth. Pour your batter into a large mixing bowl. Add your flaxseeds and mix them in with a spoon. Let batter sit for 10 minutes. Pour your batter onto 2 dehydrator trays lined with parchment paper (I have an Excalibur, but it depends on the dehydrator you are using. You want the batter to be 1/4-inch thick and even, so number of trays may differ). Dehydrate at 105 degrees F for 8-10 hours or until the bread is dry enough to flip over and peel off the parchment paper. Dehydrate another 1-2 hours or until dry but still pliable.
