How to Make Big Sur Bakery Hide Bread Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup spelt flour, ½ cup amaranth, ½ cup millet, ½ cup quinoa, ¼ cup flax seeds, 2 tablespoons kelp granules (or seaweed flakes), 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: 1 ¾ cups buttermilk (or milk/beer), 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 large egg.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, slice the bread and toast until deeply golden brown.
  8. Slather generously with butter (or drizzle with olive oil or honey), and sprinkle with a bit more sea salt. Enjoy!
  9. Note: This is a dense bread – the toasting step is crucial for the best texture and flavor!
