Lembas Bread Recipe

Elvish Waybread from Lord of the Rings to sustain you on your journey through Middle Earth. Breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bobs Red Mill gluten-free baking mix (or all-purpose flour)

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed

  • ¼ cup organic coconut oil

  • ½ cup maple syrup

  • 2T white chia seeds plus 6T water

  • pinch of sea salt

  • Optional

  • non-poisonous leaves (I used Hawaiian Ti leaves but you could also use collard greens or banana leaves)

  • hemp twine

Directions

  • Mix chia and water,set aside for 5 minutes until it forms a gel.

  • Add mashed banana, coconut oil, maple syrup, the chia gel and a pinch of salt to a large mixing bowl.

  • Gently mix in flour. Do not over mix or your Lembas will be tough.

  • Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for one hour before rolling out.

  • Flour your rolling pin and work surface.

  • Roll dough ¼ thick and cut into squares with a cookie cutter.

  • Use the blunt edge of a knife or spatula to mark an “X” on the top of each square.

  • Do not cut all the way through. This “X’ will prevent the dough from rising an dbecoming misshapen.

  • Bake at 350F for 25 minutes.

  • Wrap in leaves and secure with twine.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
