This Almond Chia Baguette recipe was developed after playing around with the Super Seed “Honey No-Wheat” Baguette. This has a similar ratio of ingredients, but instead, this recipe uses ground chia seeds and almond flour for a base. White chia seeds will make bread that is lighter in color, but you can use dark chia seeds if that is what you have. This bread is equally as awesome as the original Super Seed Baguette.

Ingredients

white chia seeds, ground *		1½ cup
almond flour		¾ cup
eggs		4
olive oil (or other fat/oil of choice)		3 tbsp
honey		2 tbsp
baking soda		½ tsp
cream of tartar (or lemon juice)		1 tsp
apple cider vinegar		2 tsp
sea salt		1 pinch
rosemary, minced (optional)		2 tbsp
shaved almonds/poppy seeds and/or sesame seeds (for coating)		½ cup

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grind chia seeds in a spice grinder or coffee grinder, then measure out 1½ cup.
Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Let mixture sit for up to 5 minutes until it thickens up.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet. Spread out shaved almonds (or seeds).
Take the sticky dough mixture and spread it out in the shape of a baguette, while rolling it in the almonds or seeds.
Make a baguette the length of the baking sheet spread diagonally from one corner to another. Or, make 2 or 3 shorter baguettes.
Bake for 26 to 32 minutes at 350°F.
Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
