Description
I have made this bread many times and I really do love it. It is nourishing and not too sweet. There is a hint of chocolate and an earthiness from the reishi. I have also made it with ashwagandha and epicedium. I recently took a trip to Oaxaca and made this bread as a travel snack. Every morning I would have a thick slice and it was the perfect way to start my day. I turn to this recipe again and again when I want to spike my day with a little magic.
