If prefer to skip breakfast and sleep in that extra 15 mins or need a light recharge snack while shopping the sales, we've come up with some easy & quick portable eats for that person on the go.
You can use the bread of your choice but we've put together a list of breads when using these recipes:
Sativa Bread (Reformhaus Mueller 6.90chf)
sesame seeds, nutty (walnuts, strong grain smell, salty flavour, carrot shreads, like a rye bread, bitter, soft
Dinkel Bread (Globus 4.80chf)
sesame and kummel seeds. oats on top, similar to pumpernickel, heavy flavour
Para Bread (Globus 5.20 chf)
lighter bread, soft, balanced flavour, full grain
Pretzel Bread (Globus 4chf)
like a pretzel, very salty, doesn't stay fresh for long
Chappati
whole grain wrap
Soft Tortilla Wrap
NOTE: These recipes are for those without sandwich presses. If you're lucky enough to have one, than place all ingredients together between bread/ wrap and press.
