The other day I made another batch of my beloved macadamia cashew ‘cream cheese‘. This ‘cheese’ tastes amazing on freshly baked, home-made bread. While I already have a few bread recipes on the blog, I decided to try a new one 🙂
Simple Whole-Grain Pumpkin Seed Bread – Vegan & Gluten-Free
This time I wanted it to include pumpkin seeds and be as simple as possible without too many ingredients. It turned out to be completely whole-grain with only one flour. The slightly roasted pumpkin seeds taste amazing!
As always this recipe for pumpkin bread is vegan and gluten-free. You can also make it with sunflower seeds.
Pumpkin Seed Bread – vegan & gluten-free
Bake this easy vegan gluten-free pumpkin seed bread with only one flour. Crunchy, nutty, and perfect for any meal!
Equipment
- Loaf pan 8–10 inch / 20–25 cm
- Blender
Ingredients
- 225 g pumpkin seeds, soak in water for at least 12 hours, then rinse and drain
- 310 ml warm water
- 2 teaspoon active dried yeast
- 1 heaped teaspoon molasses or sugar
- 420 g buckwheat flour
- 1 tablespoon flax seed
- 1 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Soak the pumpkin seeds in water for at least 12 hours, then rinse an drain.
- Mix the yeast with the molasses in the warm water. Let sit for approx. 10 minutes, the mixture should become foamy on top.
- In the meantime mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Place approx. 3/4 cup of soaked pumpkin seeds aside, blitz the rest in a blender or food processor to smaller chunks.
- When the yeast mixture has turned foamy, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Also add the pumpkin seed chunks and stir to combine. It should become a fairly thick dough.
- Line the loaf tin with baking paper. Sprinkle half of the whole pumpkin seeds that you placed aside earlier onto the baking paper.
- Scoop and spread the dough into the loaf tin. Sprinkle with remaining pumpkin seeds and press those gently onto the dough.
- Cover with a clean, damp dish cloth and place in a warm spot for approx. 45 to 60 minutes. The dough should rise to almost twice its size.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (top-/bottom heat). Place loaf tin in oven and bake covered for approx. 40 minutes, then another 5-10 minutes uncovered or until the pumpkin seeds on top are slightly roasted.
