Submitted by Iowahorse

"Here's something you don't find often. Good too."

 

• Ready In: 42mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 1 loaf

ingredients

• 1 cup finely ground and sifted mesquite meal
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3⁄4 cup water

directions

1. Combine dry ingredients.
2. Add oil and water and mix until dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
3. (Because mesquite beans and meal have a tendency to pick up any moisture from the atmosphere, the amount of water needed will vary with the weather).
4. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or flat pan.
5. Form the dough into a half-sphere loaf on the pan.
6. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

This is really easy to make! To make it extra special, I put cream cheese spread and honey on a slice! Yummie.

This was good (and my first time trying mesquite flour) but I see why there is no photo now. It's not a pretty loaf. If anyone is curious, I'd describe the flavor as somewhere between pumpkin bread and a coffee cake. Very tasty quick bread.

I changed the recipe by using buckwheat flour instead of whole wheat since I only do gluten-free. Ugh! Didn't bake thru even after 90 minutes! Oh well! Any suggestions?
