Thank you for this simple and delicious SEED BREAD recipe. I have played around with these in the past, but it is so nice to have a functioning recipe that doesn't use gluten or oats.

Yes orange zest is also a wet ingredient so it adds moistness. You should rebalance all the ingredients but I honestly never tried with an ingredient like that!

Great :) Let me know if you try them, and what you add to customize the recipe!

I wonder if you can make them sweet, maybe adding lemon zest and honey, or dried fruits with cinnamon or other spices. I’ll experiment.

That's something I never thought of, it sounds promising! Let me know if you try.

Will do. I’m just trying the basic crackers now (with garlic powder, basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary). I love to experiment with GF baking. Oh, and I only have ground flaxseed, but it seems to be working just fine.

Actually I made a batch with a little less salt, but I added, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, orange zest and the orange juice squeezed from the zested orange. I added less water to the mixture. It ended up being a bit chewier than the regular batch. But I liked it.

I adjusted the recipe by adding a cup of sourdough discard, plus a teaspoon of honey and onion powder. This gave the bread a great taste, albeit too much flour proportionately in the discard. Next time I will add only 2/3 cup sourdough discard and a bit more water. My gluten free sourdough includes Amaranth, Brown Rice, and Chickpea flours. Glad to share some with anyone.

That's a good idea! I sometimes add a very liquid sourdough discard, instead of water and then adjust with some flour if needed. My reference is the final texture of the dough.
