Chia Almond Bread

Bread can be one of the biggest blockages for people when trying to make dietary changes for themselves or family.  A slice of bread with your favourite toppings is hard to go without as either comfort food or for convenience. I too am a big fan of bread and known to go overboard which is why I often have to do a Cleanse and drop wheat out of my diet for a bit.  This is my fall back when I just want some bread.  I am posting this recipe with the how to make your own Almond Mylk recipe, as when I make Almond Mylk then I use the almond pulp that has resulted from straining the Almond Mylk as the almond meal for this recipe. No waste!!
