Secrets to a Perfect Nut and Seed Bread

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a standard loaf pan (8×4-inch) with parchment paper, letting some hang over the edges for easy loaf removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all nuts, seeds, salt, and optional dried herbs or pepper. Mix well.
- Whisk the eggs and olive (or coconut) oil in a separate bowl until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the nut and seed blend. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture is well bound.
- Spoon the mixture into the lined loaf pan and press down with the back of a spoon to compact it firmly. Smooth the top.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes, until the loaf is golden and feels firm to the touch.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing. Bread slices best with a sharp, serrated knife.
