sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
This is an easy, flavorful bread than can be used to make sandwiches, to dip or to eat alone. This is an easy recipe for variations! Pictured with hummus and tomatoes and a side of spinach caesar salad.
Based on a recipe by Matt Amsden in RAWVolution. I’ve made a few changes: the paste to onion ratio has been boosted for a thicker consistency and the Nama Shoyu percentage is down for taste.
3 yellow onions, large
1 cup flax seeds (golden, brown or a combo), ground
1 cup raw sunflower seeds, ground in a food processor
½ cup Braggs Liquid Aminos or Nama Shoyu
¼ cup cold pressed olive oil
Cool Banana!
AH, I bet chia would work beautifully!!
Chia, with pinenuts and onion.. I wish I had some chia still.
Ground almonds (almond flour) might work, I have added it to this recipe before, but didn't replace the flax totally.
I love, love, love this recipe. I flip it after 12 hours to a screen sheet and it is done in 19 hours total.
I think chia would work as well. I'm going to try it one way or another!
i am dying to try these raw breads, but the problem is that i am allergic to flax.
is there anything i can use as a substitute?
I bet chia would work, it makes gel when soaked, so it would hold it together. I would look for Zoe and Chris' onion bread with carrots and sub in the chia gel there since they use a "flax gel" I make crackers without flax and they stay together. I used pumpkin seeds, veg pulp, chia and sometimes buckwheaties and they aren't crumbly at all.

i used pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds (because it's what i had on hand), did not use any oil, and added a squirt of agave.
OMG YUM. i can't stop eating this!
This bread is sooohoho good. I half the nama...and have also added zuke and carrot with success too. Really good. Too good in fact.
I"m the last person to make this on the sight.
Awesome. Oh my gosh, it is soft and yummy. A little worried about the fat content, but I will not eat it everyday. I used sesame seeds. So good.
Are omega 3s in the Flax conserved after dehydrating?
One of the first breads I tried when starting raw. Mmmm, I was excited to bring my BLTs to work. Well...ELTs I guess using egpplant bacon.
I use less onion than the original recipe calls for also.
I make it without the oil and dehydrate till crisp. And also I puree the whole thing to make like an onion cracker. I think it tastes much better when it's fully dry. I'll be making these a lot.
I have never been able to perfect this. My bread always comes out really dry and brittle. I also found the three onions WAY to much. I cut it back to two and even felt that was a little much. It was mostly onion and little paste the first time. I'm going to have to give it another go here soon though. Your seeds looked A LOT less ground up than mine, but the "good" batch I have seen my friends make was very soft and the seeds ground really fine.
I have made this bread several times with great results. Awesome taste. I especially like it with avocado and tomatoes....yum....yum...yum. Thanks for the receipe, I look forward to trying it with various ingredients.
Just perfect! I did it twice, with the original recipe, just 1/4 cup shoyu and 1/4 cup water (instead of 1/2 cup shoyu). Thank you so much.
This bread is truly amazing!! Here are the modifications I did: I used not even a whole small onion (and it was still very onion-y but not too onion-y), and i used 1/4 cup nama shoyu + 1/4 cup water... I think the way it came out is absolutely perfect!!! This is my third attempt at making this, I followed the recipe exactly the first two times and it never came out right... The last two times it also made my house smell insane! This time it didn't, but I'm guessing it's because the last times I pulsed the onions until they were more of a mush (releasing more of their juice and smell) whereas this time, I chopped them and there was no juice to expel their delicious aroma...
New to raw ... can I put this recipe in the dehydrator along with a tray of grapes/raisins. I can't stop eating these things but I'm fearful the onion will overpower.
IABSOLUTELY LOOOOVE THIS BREAD KANDACE!!! I am making a new batch today and the first time I made it, I couldn't stop eating it! Before I put it into the dehydrator, I tasted the batter, then tasted it again, and again, until I just lumped a big spoonful of it into a bowl! I use Braggs liquid aminos instead of Nama Shoyu and the flavor of the bread reminds me of Philly Cheese Steaks. Thank you for the recipe Kandace. I'm going to impress my friends with this one...it's definitely in my top ten recipes list!
Oh and I didn't add the oil so I think that with the ground flax activated it's not necessary and it makes it lighter
I think the trick to this is too process the sunflower seeds so they get creamy but still have pieces and to add water to the whole mixture so that the ground flax get 'activated' into their goopy state. the water gets removed in the end so it's only to get it to not fall apart. this is too oniony for me. I have lost my taste for onions now that I am raw for a year.
But I did make a variation using one cup each of onion, celery, carrot... and liked it much better. I love the onion at first then it's just to much by the end of the meal. But this is a great thing to try very fun.
I followed the recipe, but added 2 tomatoes,2 cloves of garlic and 1 small shredded zucchini. The consistency seems right. I just put it in the dehydrator, will post with the results.
I've made several batches of this bread, using Matt's recipe. Every once in a while it will be crumbly. I think it has to do with how fine the seeds are ground. Finer seeds seem to stay together better.
I made this and it had a great flavour, but the pieces fell apart. No matter if I dehydrate them for a short while or longer. Still falling into pieces. Can anyone help on this?
Just curious, why'd you add the oil?
YUMMY! This bread is too good to be true!
This is the first recipe I have tried from this site and I only used one onion and 1/2 teas sea salt nstead of braggs along with the other ingerients. They made the house smell so good (if you like onions). They came out great. I can not eat to much of them my stomach has a problem with raw onions so I kinda have a tummy ache but they are really great if you have no problems with onions. Garlic is my next choice for my next batch sine I am drying some garlic now.
kandace, this looks out of this world! i'm going out after i leave you this note to buy some onions! i love anything with onions, i'm going to serve this with sliced tom,red onion & avocado. Thanks!!
This was my first attempt at dehydrating anything. it tastes really great!!!! It took 12 hours only. I have a question though - there is no way i got 19 servings out of this. I made them round shaped like size of hamburger buns. i got about 6 of them. am i eating way too much if i eat one of these, or 2?
This bread is amazing! It meant so much to me to have my very first bread recipe turn out so well. I haven't even finished it all yet and I'm planning to make another batch - it's just too delish to be without. I read everyone's tips here first and they were so helpful. You all contributed to my success - you're just rawsome - thanks!
