Yield
2 small loaves
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup psyllium husk
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 1 cup dates
- 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 sea salt (or less)
Recipe 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 :)

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.

We use the colon stuff...we just whip it through a coffee grinder to make the powder.

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 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?

Oui oui!...Personall I don't really like raw chocolate but I'm sure that other flavors could work aswell. Maybe i'll try something too. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hello.. I was wondering if instead of dehydrating, if I could just put in the oven at the same temp?

No sorry Brittney - an oven will not work for this recipe

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 :) )

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

Nearly 2 months later, I am finally trying out my dehydrator with this recipe. It looks great, so I can't wait to taste it! I have another hour or so to go!

These are the absolute best! Reminds me of the fruit nut breads I used to bake. I make these every few days. Thanks!
