Instructions

1. Put the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours; I usually leave them overnight.
2. The next day, rinse the almonds well and peel them. You will see that once soaked, the skin will be effortless to remove: it is enough to apply a little pressure with your fingers, and the almond comes out on its own. (You can also use already peeled almonds and skip this step).
3. When your almonds are peeled, put them in the blender with the water. You can use more water if you want lighter milk. You can divide this process into several batches if not all the ingredients fit into your blender.
4. Add the water and process everything very well until the almonds have entirely powdered.
5. Strain the liquid through a cloth or vegetable milk bag to separate the milk from the almond pulp. It is important to squeeze as much as possible to remove all the milk.
6. Note: do not throw away the pulp as you can use it for other recipes.
7. Your almond milk is ready to be used. Keep it in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

This recipe is suitable for the Fast Metabolism Diet, FMD Phase 3. 1 cup of almond milk is 1 serving of healthy fat for <20 pounds; 1 1/2 cup of almond milk is 1 serving of healthy fat for >20 pounds.

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the yeast with a little warm water.
2. In a large bowl, put the buckwheat flour and add the yeast and water mixture. Mix well.
3. Add the rest of the water little by little and you see mixing to incorporate it. The result should be a smooth, homogeneous, and flexible dough.
4. The dough is sticky and quite dense, pour it into your mold lined with greaseproof paper with the help of a spatula. Make sure the dough is distributed throughout the mold. Smooth the surface of the bread with the spatula.
5. Cover the mold with a cloth, and let the dough rest in the oven off but with the light on for about two or two and a half hours, until it has doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 180 ºC and bake your bread between 40 and 50 minutes. To check if the bread is ready, do the toothpick test: if when you stick the toothpick in it comes out clean, the bread is ready, otherwise, it needs a little more time in the oven.
7. Unmold your bread and let it cool on a rack. Do not cut it before it has cooled completely.
8. When your bread is cold, you can slice it and freeze it.
