Quick Bite : Indian Bruschetta

September 12, 2013

I baked this partly whole wheat bread with flaxseeds this week. The only problem with baking your own bread is you can’t stop eating it. The possible upside is that you can slice your bread as thin as you want to 🙂 I can almost see all those of you who bake your own bread nod your heads solemnly.

I usually try and avoid starting my day with bread, but when it’s homemade, you are looking for every possible excuse. So this is what I had for breakfast today – thinly sliced bread, toasted on a low heat on the tava, rubbed with a clove of garlic and topped with a simple paneer mixture.

This breakfast ticks all the boxes – good carbs, protein, veggies, fibre. Yay!

Bruschetta – Indian Style
