I just learned that baking powder, including the product hyperlinked in the recipe, contains corn which is a grain. Wow! Grains are everywhere and it’s difficult to avoid. I was encouraged to read your post and recipe and open my mind to the possibility that grain free bread really can happen. Thank you!

In reply to Brenda.

Many thanks Brenda: do you think it would work to freeze the dough? (ie before cooked)

In reply to Lu. Yes you can cook, then cool it then I'd slice pieces and separate between pieces of parchment then place in a ziplock bag. That way you can remove pieces one at a time from the freezer.

brilliant recipe: thank-you! Question please: would it work to freeze dough (even just for a week or 2), or would dough be ok in fridge for a week? I live alone (know i could freeze the bread, but prefer fresh).
I used tahini, as I didn’t have sunbutter, had to add some water, and skipped cinnamon and vanilla as wanted savory. just learning to cook (at age 61, ha): doing keto so need to. Never made bread before: made this twice (made 1/2 batches): surprised it worked: kudos to you that even I had success with your recipe: very yummy. Will try some more of your recipes: a million thanks

In reply to Corey Shdaimah. This recipe was published back in 2014, but it needs some updates with pictures and when I do, I will update how much it is once ground. My guess right now would be about 1 and 3/4 cup ground.

I have sunflower flour already- do you know about how much you end up when you process the sunflower seeds to make the sunflower flour? I’d love to try this!

In reply to Brenda. I'd like to know if anyone tried to make this using flax egg or chia seed egg. I'm allergic to eggs.

In reply to Bernadette Schell. No unfortunately dairy butter will not swap with sunflower butter. You need another type of seed or nut butter to swap.

I just seen this recipe and wanted to know if you can use dairy butter instead of the sunflower butter?

In reply to Cristina. No the dairy butter is pure fat and not the same consistency as the seed butter, you could change out the seed butter for a nut butter.

Hello.
Thank you for the recipe. Can I use the regular milk butter instead sunflower seed butter?

Thank you for this recipe. I made a loaf at the weekend and it was wonderful; I am now experimenting with it! I’ve used olive oil instead of sun butter and this was also successful. Very grateful for finding this site.

I did need to add some coconut oil to the fresh ground sun butter to get it to a texture like the bought stuff.

This is gorgeous – served with honey and raw butter my husband can’t get enough of it. Off to make some more. Really handy to have a juicer that makes the sunflowerseed butter.

In reply to Brenda. Mine hardly raised. I had more of a thick dough than anything. I certainly did not have a "pourable" batter. I made it a second time, with similar results. Perhaps I need to add some liquid as another reviewer indicated.
