Carob flour can be used to make bread. Its naturally sweet taste and notes of chocolate, give the bread a delicious flavor and taste, while offering all the healthy benefits of this incredible ingredient.
I mixed the pine nuts into the dough, in order to add a delicate nutty texture and taste to this delicious bread.
A must try recipe 😉
