Let the chia seeds soak in hot water. In the meantime, mix the eggs, egg whites, and quark well in a bowl, then fold in the almonds, nuts, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (reserve 1 tablespoon of each), salt, and baking powder, and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then knead in the chia seeds and let it rest for another 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator. Line a loaf pan with baking paper, shape the dough into a loaf, place it in the pan, and sprinkle with the remaining seeds and sesame seeds. Cover the bread with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes at approximately 190°C (top/bottom heat). After 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 50-60 minutes, depending on the oven’s power. Let it cool and then turn it out of the pan. Three slices of this bread are delicious and filling for breakfast with some quark and cucumber. The bread also tastes great with soups and salads.
