1/3 cup psyllium husk (ground)
2 tablespoons flax meal (ground)
1 cup dates (soft)
1/2 cup pecans
2/3 cup raisins
1 medium orange (peeled)
1 large apple (peeled, cored, roughly chopped)
1 teaspoon orange zest (outer orange peel)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon + 1/4 teaspoon cloves)
1/8 teaspoon salt (or less)
Directions
1. Add all ingredients to food processor EXCEPT RAISINS, PSYLLIUM HUSK AND FLAXSEED MEAL. Process very well.
2. Add raisins. Pulse again until raisins are well distributed but raisins still looked like raisins :)
3. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add psyllium husk and flaxseed meal. Stir well.
4. Form into two small loaves.
5. Dehydrate for 1 hour on high - then reduce to 110 degrees for another few hours (perhaps 5). These actually dehydrate pretty fast! You can nibble them as they firm up. Pull out when you want to eat them - I like them still a bit moist inside.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Since I recently discovered the beauty of psyllium husk, which allows you to dehydrate soft, moist raw breads, I have been loving this! It tastes almost exactly like a raw version of manna bread - if you've ever had that before :) But basically, it tastes like a nice spicy orange flavoured loaf of sweet bread - kind of like cinnamon raisin bread.
This raw sweet bread is delicious on its own, like a little slice of hearty sweet cake. Or served with a nice sweet cashew spread (heavenly!) or spread with your favorite sweetener or nut butter (like honey/agave nectar or almond butter). Mmm!
The psyllium husk is what makes this recipe moist and soft and light - like bread. DO NOT MAKE THIS RAW SWEET BREAD RECIPE UNLESS YOU HAVE PSYLLIUM HUSK. Sorry for yelling but I am serious :)
This picture shows one small loaf chopped up into small slices of sweet bread. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Store them as loaves - then slice as needed before eating :)

Heavens to Betsy this recipe is amazing!!! I have a hard time finding raw bread recipes that I like. This one is so unbelievably over the top and can't say enough good things about it! I will never need to deprive myself EVER again! Nothing needs to be soaked, no waiting, just whip out that food processor and go to town! Stand by and try, I dare you, not to nibble while it dehydrates! No, don't do that, nibble away!!! You are an amazing raw chef. Thank you so much.

Hi! New to your blog - looks great, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to trying some of your recipes.
One question: beyond sweetness, what is the role of the dates in this recipe? I try and use only organic, so 1 cup (medjool i am assuming or did you use honey dates? ) will be quite pricy! I also don't like things toooo sweet. I have pretty good kitchen intuition, but wanted to check in with you as I'm new to dehydrating and don't want to waste any ingredients! (and that was actually 2 questions! woops! ;))
Thanks!

Can you use dried prunes instead or will those be just as $? Probably!
Maybe just try subbing for 1 cup raisins.
To answer your question:
Role of dates is two-fold: to bulk up a bit and to add some sweetness.
This recipe isn't TOO sweet though, I know what you mean. It just has a nice hint of sweetness. Actually, more than a hint. But it is a nice balance. I think replacing with 1 cup raisins or prunes is best. OR 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup dreid apricots (apricots aren't as sweet)

Hello! Thank you so much for this recipe. Im going to make it this weekend and i cant wait to try it. My question is can the bread be frozen? I would be the only one eating it and dont want to waste it. Im sure its fantastic but i cant eat it all in a couple of days! Thank you very much!

I haven't frozen it myself, but it's a good candidate for freezing I should think.
If you freeze let me know how it thaws out

I just received my dehydrator. Is parchment paper ok to place under my bread and other foods?
The Rawtarian
May 21, 2012

yes - parchment paper is safe. I use it in my dehydrator all the time.
general "waxed paper" is NOT. It will melt and stick and be a mess.

Should I buy psyllium powder or buy whole psyllium husks and grind myself. Would the powder be too fine??

Oh wow! I just made this! oh my my my....this is an all time favorite! Thank you! (I dehydrated at 110 for 5 hrs. Dehydrating food is very forgiving..it isn't like you are going to burn it in the oven :) )

I just made this and I have to say after much reflection...I've decided that you are my Raw Food Hero. It was amazing. I would'nt believe it was raw if I didn't I made it myself. Fantastic! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Do you have any Cake recepies that use psyllium husk? It seems like it could duplicate the real texture of cooked cakes.

Now Amy, you are stumping me. Now why haven't I made a cake with psyllium husk??? This is weird. I need to do that! Like, a spongy chocolatey cake would be tres delicious, non?

Please help, I am lost. I am new to raw and fell in love with this recipe. I went looking for the ingredient psyllium husk powder, but all I am able to find is something that is used to help your colon. Would you please send me a link where I might purchase this product. I want to get it right. I know I must sound like a dummy, not to know this stuff.
Thank-you for helping me.

Hi Suzie, generally you can find it at health food stores. Here's a link to some as you requested: http://tinyurl.com/b4vvxq4 it's not too expensive.

I remember that feeling! Use it as a nice motivator for you. What can you do to treat yourself with it at a later date? Make it a goal.
And you don't have to get an excalibur, you can get a cheaper one.
Best dehydrator is 9-tray excalibur, hands down. But... it is expensive! http://tinyurl.com/ah6o3qt
You can also get a Vegikiln - they are cheaper, white, not as "reputable" but they get the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avb59e3

Hi there! Could I use chia instead of flax in this recipe? Flax makes my tummy yucky... Chia I can handle right well. Just ordered my dehydrator this morning. Yay!!

Hi Elizabeth, congrats on your new dehydrator! I haven't made this with chia seeds myself, so I am hesitant to say, "go for it!" But cutting the flax in half and adding the rest in ground chia seeds should probably be okay. Hope this helps somewhat!

Hi. Thank you so much for all of your beautiful recipes!! They're so simple and flavoursome, and my sweet-toothed partner loves all of the treats I've been uncooking for him. I've recently found out that I'm allergic to pecans. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative in this recipe? Thanks in advance.
