Ingredients

1 and 1/4 cups 200 g chia seeds
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Optional" 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup 237 mL water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a blender or clean coffee grinder, grind the chia seeds into a very fine flour.
In large bowl, whisk together the chia flour, baking powder and (optional) salt. Add the water, stirring until completely combined (the dough will look thick and somewhat gooey at first).
Divide the dough into 3 equal portions, With wet hands, shape each piece into a 8-inch (20 cm) long, flattened (about 3/4 inch to 1-inch thick) baguette style loaf.
Space the loaves at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, make 4 deep diagonal slashes into the top of each
loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 minutes until risen slightly, the slashes have opened up some, and the surface of the loaves appears dry.
Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at (cool) room temperature for 3 days, the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or the freezer for up to 6 months.
Chia Seed Grinding Tips: Grind the chia seeds into a fine flour (not a rough meal consistency). For best results, be sure to use fresh chia seeds; the oils in chia seeds can turn rancid if not stored properly and will develop "off" flavors.

If Using Pre-Made Chia Flour: If using packaged chia flour, make sure it is finely ground (i.e., not chia meal, which has a coarse consitency). If you have chia meal, grind it in a blender or coffee mill until fine. Also, be sure to use an equivalent weight of chia flour, not volume (i.e., 200 grams chia seeds is 1 and 1/4 cups, but 200 grams of chia flour is closer to 1 and 2/3 cups).
Tip: For larger sandwich-style slices, cut the bread lengthwise. It is easier if you first cut the loaf in half, crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise.
