Raw Food Diet & Bread

The raw food diet consists of uncooked, unprocessed plant-based foods. If you've switched to a raw food diet but you're craving bread, some options are available to fulfill that craving. All you need is some raw ingredients and a food dehydrator.

Batter

Practically any ingredients you can turn into batter can also be made into a bread. The batter must not be soupy or runny. A food dehydrator gives the raw bread its proper texture.

Nuts and Seeds

Finely-ground nuts and seeds make an excellent bread foundation. You can use a dry blender or a coffee grinder to grind flax seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds or any other dry ingredients to make meal.

Sprouts

Another raw bread foundation consists of sprouted wheat, rye, lentils or beans.

Puree

Mix the meal or sprouts with a puree of pumpkin, zucchini, tomato or other vegetables or fruits.

Additional Ingredients

Added touches might include honey, herbs, spices, onion flakes, chopped olives and any other favorite ingredients.

Time Frame

The bread should be ready after about 12 to 15 hours in the food dehydrator. See Resources below for some links to specific raw bread recipes.
