Thanks to the lupin flour and high content of seeds, this loaf has half the refined carbs of other gluten free breads and more than double the protein and fibre, so one 50g piece is very filling! Thanks to the polenta it has a great texture and crunchy crust. The turmeric, pepper and cumin provide exquisite flavour and antioxidants.
Great for breakfast or for lunch with hummus or for dinner with soup.
