Hunza Diet Breat has a taste that is very satisfying and chewy all on its own, but you also may add, if desired, apricots, raisins, chopped walnuts or almonds, and/or sliced dates to the above ingredients. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Grease and lightly flour cooking pan(s). Ideally, use baking trays with about 1-inch-high sides. Pour the batter in pan(s) ½-inch thick over the base.
Bake at about 300° F for 1 hour. After cooking, dry the bread in the oven for about 2 hours at a very low heat—about 90° F. (If your oven temperature does not go below 90° F, try turning it as low as possible and leaving the oven door open until the bread becomes dry.) After it is cooled, tip it out and cut it into approximately 2″×2″ squares.
Store the bread wrapped in cloth in a container. You may need to repeat the baking depending on the size of your baking pan and oven until all the mixture is used.
