Packed full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids from a mixture of pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and a healthy dose of fibre from the chia and flax, a slice of this bread is guaranteed to satisfy. This recipe was inspired by the iconic “Life Changing Loaf of Bread” from the blog My New Roots. Our version uses strong wholemeal flour and yeast, delivering a lighter texture than the original, without scrimping on nutrition.
