This adventure bread is packed full of seeds, nuts and dried fruits, making it not only the perfect way to fuel your next adventure but also a super tasty treat for the holidays when you might also need a little extra fuel.

Keep an eye on this in the oven. It won’t rise like a normal bread, but it could burn if you aren’t checking regularly. Also, make sure it’s completely cooled before you slice it, because it’s more likely to crumble than most breads.
