Almond bread with hemp and flax seeds

Take 2 ½ cups of almond fluor. Combine it with a teaspoon of baking soda, quarter teaspoon of sea salt, a tablespoon of hemp seeds, and a teaspoon of flax seeds. In a large bowl whisk three eggs, half a cup of yogurt, half a cup of ricotta cheese. Stir in the fluor mixture andknead it into smooth dough. Pour into a loaf pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Prick into the center with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, then the loaf is ready for you.
Alternatively, you can add all the ingredients in a breadmaker pan and slect the low-carb setting and let it bake until done.
This is such soft-textured bread that after eating this, you will never be satisfied with the store bought breads. The flavors are inviting as the bread bakes and with added hemp and flax seeds, there is no dearth of nutrition.
There are variations of it to try - have a sweet carving, add blueberries. For the spice lovers, add a teaspoon of toasted poppy seeds or sesame seeds and a pinch of smoked paprika. Enjoy.
