Contains: none of the common allergens in the listed ingredients. Check labels on stock, sauces and spice mixes.

Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Grind the whole golden flaxseeds in a coffee or spice grinder (in batches) until they feel like soft flour, and tip them into a bowl. Don't use bought flax meal — some is defatted and won't rise. 1:18
- Add the psyllium husk powder, salt and baking powder and stir together. 1:47
- Heat the water to about 60 °C (140 °F), pour it in, stir with a spoon, then knead by hand for 20–30 seconds just until it comes together — don't overmix. 2:19
- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a baking tray. Shape the dough into a loaf on the tray with lightly wet hands, smoothing any big cracks. 3:14
- Score the top a few times with a knife. 3:50
- Bake 55–60 minutes until well risen and golden; it can double or triple in size. 4:02
- Let it cool completely before slicing into 11 — it keeps setting inside and turns gummy if cut warm. 4:50
Tip. Weigh everything in grams — cups are too inaccurate here. Keeps 7 days in the fridge or 3 months frozen. You can shape smaller rolls instead; they bake faster.

Vitamin A0%
0 µg a serve. Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C0%

Vitamin D0%
0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin E0%
0.1 mg a serve, mostly from golden flaxseeds (100%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
