DANISH FRUIT, SEED & NUT BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Put salt, psyllium husk powder, dried fruit & rolled oats in bowl . Chop hazelnuts or almonds, add to bowl. Grind rest of seeds and nuts to a flour like consistency & add to bowl. ** You can leave out these two steps and add seeds & nuts whole but I like the texture better when grinned all down , it's more like bread or cake that way
• 2. In a separate bowl Whisk together syrup , oil & water. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well till dough becomes thick . You can add water if dough becomes too thick, 1-2 teaspoons at a time.
• 3. Spray loaf pan w/ oil. Spread dough out evenly , spray top w/ oil . Let sit out for at least 2 hours before baking or over night.
• 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Bake for 25 min. Then place upside down on a rack and bake for 35 -40 min more. (This is the hardest part) * COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE SLICING *

Remove from the tin to cool, but leave the parchment on until cold. Cut into slices, spread with ricotta and serve with fruit. Will keep in the fridge for 1 month, or freeze in slices.
