Step-by-step
- Preheat your oven to 180C / 350F.
- Make sure that your linseed and chia seed are milled. To do this, pop them in a nutribullet, coffee grinder or food processor and pulse until a flour like consistency.
- Combine all dry ingredients (linseed, coconut flour, chia and baking powder) in a bowl and mix together.
- In a separate bowl add the ACV, olive oil and water (ensure you are using a measuring cup!). Whisk together well.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Using a spatula combine the mixture together well. It will go from wet, to a thick batter. Continue to move it around until a dough forms.
- Mould it into a bowl and leave to stand for about 15-20 minutes. It will thicken considerably during this time.
- Break the dough into 6 and mould into balls. (If you make less then please note baking time may need to be a little longer)
- Place on a grease proof baking sheet and very gently press each ball, so that it is stable.
- Optional: Add any seeds on top (best way to do this is to dot a little water to the top of the roll and then sprinkle the seeds over it).
- Place in the oven and bake at 180C / 350F for 35-40 minutes. Check occasionally. They should have a deep golden brown crust, with a slight spring once cooked.
