Stir/sift together:
1 1/2 C. flour
1/4 C. flax meal
1/4 C. hemp seeds ground into flour
1/4 C. brown rice flour
1/4 C. tapioca or potato starch
1 tsp. baking powder (optional, if you use it your bread will rise slightly, if not it will be slightly more dense)
1/2 tsp. salt (more to taste, will make a difference whether you use coconut oil or margarine)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
1 Tbsp. powdered veggie bouillon (chickny is preferred)
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
then add to make crumb:
3/4 C. coconut oil or margarine
2 Tbsp. hemp or oat milk (a little more if needed)
Form into a log, wrap and chill for an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll out on a lightly floured board into 1/2 " thick rectangle, a little thinner is fine. If you are having trouble rolling it, you can do it between plastic or add a little liquid to the dough or other such tricks, you'll figure it out. If you think you ought not to overwork the dough however, you are thinking correctly.
Press gently into a parchment lined pan and cut/score into squares. If you like, make a cool pattern on the top with some device or fork tines. Brush lightly with a little oil or melted margarine and bake for about 12 minutes, until done to your liking, a light browning is fine.
Set on a rack to cool for a bit before cutting or breaking it up. I like to brush with margarine or coconut oil again right when it comes out as well.
Cut/break into its squares and allow to cool to room temp or just slightly above.
Wrap each square in a cut of banana leaf or other leaves and tie with string.
Ta-da!
Banana leaves can be a pain, in order to fold/roll and cut them easily you need to run them over heat (I use gas flame for this) until it softens up enough to deal with, being careful not to scorch it, set fire to anything or otherwise maim yourself or your hobbit hole.
Some people soften banana leaves in the microwave, look it up!
