Just tried this recipe and it is delicious! The taste reminds me of the Focaccia I used to love eating …before I had to change my diet because of SIBO and gluten intolerance. This is rosemary seed bread truly makes me happy. I will try next time to add in black olives.
Ohh black olives that is a great idea!
Is the pumpkin and sunflower seed mix essential to this recipe, or can the bread be made without it? Would some raw pumpkin seeds suffice? I am new to making bread and cooking for SIBO, so I apologize for my ignorance regarding this topic. Thanks!
I wouldn’t say the seeds are essential…but they add a nice crunch and additional salt to the bread batter. You could use raw seeds you like.
I can’t do yogurt – any Idea what could be used as a replacement ? Thank you
Can you do homemade coconut yogurt? Maybe you could try just leaving it out…it may not even need it. Let me know how it turns out if you decide to make it 🙂
Hi Samantha! Question….I noticed there are all these restrictions to nuts in terms of amount (15 of these nuts, only a little bit of this or that), and I was wondering how you figure out how much of a nut-flour recipe you can have, such as this bread or a muffin or peanut soup. Thanks! 🙂
That is a good question. You would have to figure out how many whole almonds equal 1 cup of almond flour and then do the math for the recipe. I have not gone to those lengths yet. I just try to limit the amount of baked goods that I eat at one sitting. Sometimes that means eating only a half a muffin especially if you are really sensitive and reactive to foods. Your body will tell you when you have had too much. If you figure out the conversion let me know Im sure others would love to know as well.
I’ve made this several times and it always satisfies. I did the calculation: In Dr. Siebecker’s SIBO Food Guide, 2 tablespoons of almond flour is listed in the low FODMAP column. That’s 1/16th of this recipe. So if you make it in an 8-inch loaf pan, a single low FODMAP serving is one half-inch slice. The only problem is that I always want a second slice!
Haha 🙂 Eventually you will be able to have a second slice!
Getting ready to try the receipe tomorrow morning for a close friend who she is courageous and, brave to fight sibo. Thank you, Samantha for being passionate to share these recipes.
Sincerely,
Samantha
You are so welcome!
absolutely delicious and turned out perfectly although i had to bake it a little longer with my oven. thank you Samantha for your wonderful recipes and for making the SIBO diet livable! you are so appreciated!
Always nice to be appreciated. Thank you! 🙂
I do nit have parchment paper. Will coconut oil lining the pan work. I made the whole recipe and thwn realized I was missing something.
Unfortunately greasing the pan will not work that same way parchment paper does. I highly recommend getting some its brilliant you wont regret it 🙂
I didn’t have parchment paper . I just coated the bread pan with coconut oil it worked great. Next time I make this I suggest not using salt to cook up the seeds and also adding less salt to the bread. Tonight I also made the chicken pizza. It was soooo. Delicious !!!Again I coated the cookie sheet with coconut oil, worked great. I could never do this diet without your recipes Samamtha, many blessings to you !!!
Is coconut flour an acceptable food for this diet when trying to heal myself from SIBO? Thanks so much:)
Yes coconut flout is allowed on the diet. That being said everybody reacts to foods differently so you will have to see for yourself if you are able to tolerate it.
I didn’t realize yogurt could be used on the diet? Are you using a dairy free version?
Lactose free yogurt is allowed. Green valley organics makes an lactose free yogurt and the 24 hour yogurt recipe posted on my site is also lactose free
I’ve recently been diagnosed with SIBO and have found your blog very helpful. I would like to try this recipe but was wondering if I can substitute the Almond flour for coconut flour as I am allergic to almonds.
Unfortunately coconut flour is not a good substitute. Coconut flour just doesn’t bake well. Can you try another nut flour? I really like to bake with chestnut flour but it is a sit on the sweet side. Check out this website that sells a huge variety of nut flours. https://nuts.com/cookingbaking/flours/
You are not alone in having an allergy to almonds. I will experiment and see what another option could be.
