Ingredients

• 1 cup chia seeds
• 3 cups pumpernickel flour
• 2 Tbsp molasses
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix chia seeds and warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to form a gel-like consistency.
2. Add pumpernickel flour, molasses, and salt to the chia seed mixture. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for 30 minutes, until it has doubled in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
6. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
