Makes 18 slices
INGREDIENTS
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked
- 1.5 medium courgettes (zucchini), peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 apple, cored and roughly chopped
- 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1.5 tablespoons Herbs de Provence or herbs of your choice
- 1 tablespoon marjoram or herbs of your choice
- 1.5 cups almond pulp
- ½ cup flax meal
METHOD
- Process the olive oil, sundried tomatoes, courgette, apple, lemon juice, salt and dried herbs until thoroughly mixed. Add the almond pulp and process again until a batter is formed.
- In a bowl, mix the batter with the flax meal by hand. When mixed, process the whole batter in the machine again in small batches to achieve a light fluffy texture.
- Divide the mixture in two and place on non-stick dehydrator sheets on dehydrator trays. Use an offset spatula to spread the mixture evenly to all four sides and corners of the non-stick sheet. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet the spatula to make things easier.
- Dehydrate for 2 hours at 40 degrees C. Then remove the non-stick sheets by placing another dehydrator tray and mesh on top and invert – so that your original sheet of bread is upside down. That will allow you to peel the non-stick sheet off and continue to dehydrate the underside of the bread.
- Dehydrate for approximately 8 hours more at 40 degrees C or until bread feels light in your hand. If the pieces don’t fully come apart where you scored, use a knife to cut them.
