  3. Shape the mixture into a rustic oval loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix - a spoon or your hands are perfect for combining the ingredients while keeping texture intact.
  • Let the loaf rest for at least an hour before slicing for the best crumb.
  • Toast before serving to bring out that nutty aroma and crisp edges.
  • Store in an airtight container up to 2 days, refrigerate up to a week, or freeze slices for easy breakfasts.
