Veggie-Flax Bread with a Fish Spread
Giving up bread as part of a Paleo diet is not easy for some. Every now and then it’s just nice to know that you can have something upon which to spread your liver pate. While there are many recipes that use flax-seed as a base, here’s one that also incorporates lots of vegetables. You’ll need a food dehydrator and good blender to proceed.
Veggie-Flax Bread
- 6 carrots
- 4 onions
- bunch celery
- Braggs amino (or curry spices and garlic)
- 4 1/2 c ground sprouted flax (sprouted)
- (chia or hemp seeds, optional)
Here I blended tomatoes, carrots and onions
Blend whatever vegetables you choose (almost a blender-full) into a slurry with approx. 2 cups of water. Tomatoes and peppers are nice additions. Use a squirt or two of Braggs Aminos and/or curry spices or garlic. Add a bit of chia or hemp seeds if you desire.
Pour the vegetable mixture into a big bowl, and using your hands mix in the flax and any other ingredients you choose. Mix well to eliminate lumps — the result should have the consistency of oatmeal.

Prior to dehydrating
Carefully spread the mixture evenly over teflex or Paraflexx sheets. These are thin, flexible sheets that fit on top of your dehydrator trays to keep things from sticking. You can tamp in some sunflower or other seeds if you wish at this point.
Place the trays in the dehydrator and turn on at a moderately high setting (about 125 degrees) for three hours. Score the tops into individual pieces. Lower the temperature on the dehydrator and wait another hour or so, then turn the bread over onto the screens and remove the texflex sheets. Continue dehydrating on low overnight or until desired consistency. While the result is pretty tasty and has a nice texture, don’t go overboard and eat too much at one sitting! Too much flax can upset your digestion pretty quickly…
