Raw bread?

[Andrew Gubb]

One of the things that puts me off the raw diet a lot is the lack of anything to make sandwiches with. I mean, there are flax crackers, but (asides that I don't like them much) they're not good for a low fat diet.

So, does anyone know of a recipe or brand of raw bread, such that you could put stuff in between two slices and eat?

I was thinking it over and wondered if you could do something like real bread but "bake" it in a dehydrator. Hey, dried apple has a bready consistency so maybe you could homogenise apple pulp and dehydrate it into loaves.

Or maybe some mix of sprouted wheat and apple, blended, with yeast added, made into a spongy dough and then dehydrated.

Pure sprouted wheat I don't know about, because I find sprouts have too much energy - they overload me. (Actually raw food in general can have this effect on me which is why I'm not 100%).

Whoever heard of raw bread? Just kidding!
Flat Bread

3/4 C rye, sprouted
1 C lentils, sprouted
1/4 t caraway seeds
1 t dried onion flakes
1/4 C tahini

Put rye and lentils through Champion with solid plate. Mix in remaining ingredients. Press into patties and dehydrate for 12-24 hours at 105 degrees until crisp.

Chick Pea Bread

2 cups chick peas sprouted
1 cup wheat sprouts
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 garlic clove, pressed

Grind, blend or homogenize the grain. Add spice and spread batter 1/4-inch thick on a dehydrator tray prepared with parchment paper. Dehydrate at less than 110 degrees until thoroughly dry-12 to 24 hours depending on the number of trays drying and the humidity of the room. Store in a tight closed container.

I had some raw onion bread at a raw food stall last year - it was delicious. Don't have a recipe but try Gone Raw | sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice as they have loads!

I really like Raw Onion bread. The recipe is from the book Rawvolution. It's a lot like a flax cracker though, so it might not be what you're looking for. Here is a video of it:

And the recipe on a raw forum:

Hope that helps!

This is really cool. Thanks guys.

I've been thinking of looking into setting up a raw bread business. If other people are like me, they'd probably be happy to pay for ready made stuff... and there's nothing in the shops round here.

In Essene store (premier health food store) in Philadelphia, they have a raw bread, but the others do not. It has too much salt which is not raw or a food and is very expensive.
