Default Like brown soda bread.

NOTE: This is NOT induction legal, but is once you have reached the nuts/seed rung. It's very low carb, and tastes very like brown soda bread. It is even enjoyed by non-low carbers around here.

2 oz ground almonds
1 oz flaxmeal (Linwoods)
6 tablepoons wheat bran (just under 0.5 oz)
0.5 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
0.25 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt

2 medium eggs
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon full fat yogurt
water
0.25 teaspoon vinegar

Mix all the dry ingredients together well in a bowl.

Mix all the wet ingredients well. Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and beat together with a spoon. You end up with quite a sloppy mixture.

Scrape into an uncovered microwave proof container and flatten into it well so that there is no trapped air. I used a round plastic container about 5" in diameter and 3" deep, with straight edges. It needs to have quite high edges as the bread rises considerably.

Put into the microwave on high for 5 mins. Microwaves vary but when it's done the top of the bread should be dry.

It looks sort of grey/pale brown when done - not appetising. It tastes ok this way, but I popped it in a medium-hot oven, about 180 degrees, (after removing it from the plastic container, with great care cos its very hot!) for about 10 mins until it was lightly browned all over to give it a good crust.

Keeps very well for 3-4 days wrapped in tin foil.
