A bread that is actually good for your digestive system
Everyone loves this bread! It is easy to make, light and support healthy bowel movement. It keeps for 4 to 5 days and can be eaten as it is or toasted. You can do a sweet version for breakfast and add few whole hazelnuts and dried blueberries and/or dates and a tsp of turmeric powder, 1 drop cinnamon essential oil.
