Ingredients:

  • 3 apples, peeled and diced into 1cm chunks

  • 3 tablespoons sultanas (or any dried fruit)
  • 6 dates, pitted and roughly chopped (optional)
  • 2 heaped tbsp hemp seeds (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Brazil nuts, roughly chopped (or nut of your choice)
  • 100g honey (can replace with maple syrup or rice malt syrup)
  • 350g spelt flour (or plain flour)
  • 350g/ml water
  • 1 tsp bicarb soda

6. Tare the scale one last time and add 350g water
