Living Rawesome Day #58 Garlic and Onion Bread pg. 164 entertaining in the raw
September 21, 2009
Yummy garlic and onion bread. I can’t wait for this meal tomorrow night. I am going to eat with Jason. He works in Inverness, so after Sabby takes his guitar lesson I am going to bring dinner to my gorgeous hubby. Yes, Sabby takes his first guitar lesson tomorrow night. He hasn’t stopped asking to take lessons since about 8 months ago, so we are trying it out tomorrow.
Bread ingredients
6 cups sweet vidalia onions
2 T chopped garlic (I minced the bulbs)
1 cup ground sunflower seeds
1 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup olive oil
2 t sea salt
1 T oregano
black pepper ( I omitted)
I make a similar bread to this at work. We got the recipe from Goneraw.com. The bread is so delicious. It’s great for sandwiches and dips. I think this will taste even better, because I crave garlic all the time. Ohhhh the sweetness of the onions and garlic will keep me coming back for more.
I ground up the sunflower seeds in the Vitamix first and put them in a bowl.
Next, I ground up flax seeds in the Vitamix and put them into the bowl. The directions say to pulse onions and garlic and put them into a bowl then add all of the ingredients to the onion and garlic mixture. I figured it would be the same thing if I did it this way.
I chopped the onions and minced the garlic then added the garlic to the onions in the food processor. I pulsed them at least 20 times then added them to the flax and sunflower seed mixture. I added the olive oil, sea salt, I didn’t have oregano, so I used the best spice I had, Spike seasoning. I love this mixture of spices. I use it on just about everything.
The mixture was easy to mix and spread. I was able to make two Excalibur trays out of it. According to the directions it says that it makes one tray. I am still using parchment paper, so less of the tray is used. I still don’t have Teflex sheets so the space on the tray is less than there would be if I did have the Teflex sheets. I spread out the mixture and scored it. According to the directions, it says that I should score the bread after 6 hours, but I did it ahead of time, because I will be sleeping by the time they should be scored.
Dinner will be perfect tomorrow.
I made flax crackers today, but sadly my mom didn’t come over. I still haven’t talked to her, but I made them and they turned out excellent. I may start making them at the store. I need to purchase an icing spatula to make sure the crackers are even. I can’t wait for my mom to try them.
I am going to bed now, I have my official first Chemistry test tomorrow. Yippy, I am going to pass it.
“The onion and its satin wrappings is among the most beautiful of vegetables and is the only one that represents the essence of things. It can be said to have a soul.”
