Raw Vegan Recipe: Soft n' Savory Hemp Onion Bread

Yay! It's recipe time! In today's video, I'm showing you how to make an EASY yummy bread recipe, Soft n' Savory Hemp Onion Bread. If you're a fan of savory onions, then you'll be one happy camper with a slice of this! Soft n' Savory Hemp Onion Bread is delicious, pretty, and filled with nutrition... essential fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Essential fatty acids are necessary fats that we basically cannot synthesize on our own, so we have to get them from our diet. Enter: hemp and chia! Not only that, but hemp foods are an excellent source of complete vegetarian protein. Personally, I consider hemp foods as superfoods because they are loaded with important nutrients and they make me feel great. As a pregnant gal, I've been upping my intake of them - great for my growing baby. So... back to the bread... It’s perfect for snacking on by itself, dipping in Raw hummus, and spreading with Raw hemp seed butter or guacamole. Depending on the size you cut, you can also use it as a nutrient rich bread for hearty Raw sandwiches. As I'm typing this post, it's dehydrating in the kitchen and it smells soooooooo awesome!

Soft n' Savory Hemp Onion Bread

Recipe by Kristen Suzanne of KristensRaw.com

Yield approximately 20 - 32 pieces (depending on size you cut)

3/4 cup hemp seeds (lightly ground)

3/4 cup chia seeds

3 pounds red onions, chopped

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

1 cup spinach, packed

1/3 cup raw agave nectar

1/3 cup tamari, wheat-free

1/4 cup hemp protein powder

Place the ground hemp seeds and whole chia seeds in a large bowl and set aside. Process the onions, tomatoes and spinach in a food processor, fitted with the “S” blade, into small pieces - don’t let it get too mushy though. One thing that might help is to do this processing in two halves (half each of the onions, tomatoes, spinach in one processing, then do it with the other half) so that you can keep it a little on the chunkier side. If you process it too long, it can get too wet (as you'll see in the video, I should've done mine in two processing batches, but I shoved it all in one - lol).

Add the onion mixture and the remaining ingredients to the bowl of seeds and stir well to mix. Let the batter sit for up to 5 minutes. If you find that the batter is too “wet” then add more chia seeds to soak it up (1 - 2 tablespoons at a time and wait a few minutes).

Use approximately 4 cups per tray and spread the batter onto 2 dehydrator trays, each lined with a Paraflexx sheet. Dehydrate at 130 - 140 degrees for one hour. You can score the bread into the desired size at this time, or you can wait to cut it after it's done dehydrating.

Lower the temperature to 105 degrees and dehydrate another 8 hours. Flip the bread over onto another dehydrator tray and peel off the Paraflexx sheet. Dehydrate another 6 - 10 hours (until you reach your desired dryness – I like mine a little moist). Cut into 16 squares per tray. These are best stored in the refrigerator.
