Vegan Chickpea & Hemp Protein Bread
Romy discovered her love for cooking after going vegan in 2014 and has since spent more time in the kitchen than anywhere else. (You’ll find endless inspiration on her blog) But with her decision to go vegan came the need to find new ways to get protein into her diet. This savoury protein bread mixes chickpea flour with our hemp protein, milk and oil to create a protein and omega-rich dish. Serve with avocado or hummus for a light lunch or afternoon snack.
- 250g chickpea flour
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of sugar
- 200ml water
- 175ml Good Hemp Milk
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
- 40g whole linseeds
- 2 tsp milled flaxseeds
- 90g Good Hemp Protein
- 50g almond flour (ground almonds)
- 2 tsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp Good Hemp Oil (for greasing)
Method
In a large jug combine the yeast with the pinch of sugar, then add in the water. Let the mix rest for about 5 minutes.
Slowly add in the Hemp Milk and tomato paste. Stir it well so that the tomato paste blends in with the liquid.
In a separate large bowl, combine the rest of the dry ingredients. Create a well in the middle of the dry mixture and slowly start adding the pre-made liquid whilst stirring. You can use a spatula or large whisk for this. Once everything is combined, the consistency should resemble more of a batter than a dough.
Let the batter rest for 1 hour, covered with a damp cloth.
Preheat your oven to 180C (gas mark 4) and grease a bread tin with Good Hemp Oil.
Add the batter to the tin and bake it in the oven for 45 minutes. Once baked, test the bread with a pick – if it is still too moist, bake for another 5 – 10 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve with hummus or avocado (optional).
