Admittedly, I am pretty fussy when it comes to bread. I am quite health conscious in my selection and, of course, it has to taste good! I have always been a fan of the Cape Seed loaf and rolls at Bakers Delight, however, until very recently I had no idea it was so healthy! As it turns out.. Cape Seed bread is packed with vitamins and minerals, which makes me feel extra good about my choice in bread :)
Loads of goodness goes into this bread, including over nine grains and seeds go into Bakers Delight's Cape Seed loaf... soy and linseed, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, rye, barley, oats and mung beans, just to name a few. Full of vitamins and minerals it includes iron, protein, vitamin E, antioxidants and omega-3. Another great thing about Cape Seed bread is that it's has a low glycemic index (GI), which means it will keep you full longer and provide longer lasting energy (no risk of sugar crashing here!).
One of my favourite ways to enjoy Cape Seed bread is as part of a quick, weekday breakfast - sliced, toasted and topped with banana (and alongside coffee of course!) Or, for something a bit fancier, I might also add some low fat ricotta and a little honey.

I don't think my mini recipe can be considered a recipe at all - But my favourite thing to do with cape seed bread is to top it with nut butter - especially peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteThe nuttiness from the seeds in the bread goes perfectly with the nut butter! :D
Simple, but oh so good.
My mini recipe will be peanut butter with homemade preserve :)
ReplyDeleteAvacado, sliced tomato and a sprinkle of persian feta cheese, oh and a little shredded basil if you have some from the garden.
ReplyDeleteThis bread looks delicious! To eat it, I serve a Croque Monsieur : bread tosted, bechamel sauce, ham and gratted cheese. a classic in France ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of a Croque Monsieur at first but since Laetitia has already posted that then i'm going to have a Croque-Madame instead with cheese, ham and an egg. this will wonderfully balance the healthiness of the cape seed bread and allow me to keep enjoying the rest of the loaf without a guilty conscious of my unhealthy cooking recipe :-)
ReplyDeleteKeep the entries coming, guys! It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like :)
ReplyDeleteCape is fantastic as a foil for tuna with lemon pepper, tomato and salad, gorgeous, toasted for an extra crunch hit works extra well.
ReplyDeletemmm, i like my Cape Seed bread straight up, just toasted, spread with a good quality organic butter and used as a dunking tool with home made thick pumpkin and sweet potato soup.
ReplyDeleteOoooh I looooove Cape Seed Loaf - it's my favourite! I like keeping it nice and simple - toasted with avocado with a sprinkle of salt and LOTS of pepper...mmmm!
ReplyDeleteJust butter so as not to detract from the many subtle flavours that the 9 grains and seeds produce wonderfully..
ReplyDeleteI grw up eating white bread for school sandiwches, and it wasn't until last year that I thought I'd venture out an try some of the other healthier options. I still love white bread, but nowadays I'd choose bread with lots of seeds in them (the more the better), just because they taste really interesting =D This bread looks just like the type I'd choose! It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really soft too- I'd probably just eat it straight like that. So I'd probably just make a simple sandiwch, perhaps a chicken and mayo sandwich =)
