PREPARATION

1. Finely grind the flaxseed* and chia* in a coffee grinder.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flaxseed, chia, flour, caraway, yeast and salt. Add next the beer, eggs, oil and molasses.
3. Blend with an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a flat beater, on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rest in the oven with the light on, for 60 minutes. After the resting time, mix the dough thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
5. Line a bread mold of 13 cm x 23 cm (9" x 5") with parchment paper. Place the dough in the mold, and spread evenly with a moistened spatula.
6. Put on the center rack of the oven with the oven light on and let rise for 25 to 30 minutes. The bread is ready to cook when the dough does not bounce back when lightly pressed with a finger.
7. Without removing the bread, turn on the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
8. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until golden.
9. Unmold and let cool on a wire rack.

TIP

* If you use flaxseed and chia seeds that are already commercially ground, the grind will not be fine enough and the density is not the same for whole seeds and ground seeds. It is therefore essential to use the measurement in grams and grind your seeds again in the coffee grinder in order to obtain a fine powder.

VEGAN VERSION

For an egg-free version, replace the eggs with the following mixture, which you will let stand for 30 minutes before adding to the liquid ingredients:

• 5 ml (1 tsp) chia seeds
• 60 ml (4 tbsp) unsweetened applesauce
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) water
