I have been wanting to try this bread recipe for awhile after I first saw it on Sarah’s blog, My New Roots, back in February.  Months later, I finally got around to it, and I’m so glad I did.  This bread is different than traditional breads–it doesn’t include yeast or flour, instead it is dense, and full of nuts, seeds, and chewy oats.  Psyllium seed husks are the ‘glue’ that binds this bread together.  These little husks are also a great source of soluble fiber, which expands when ingested, helping to ‘scrub’ the intestines and aiding in the transport of waste and toxins through the intestinal tract.  Yay!
