My first attempt at a bread *substitute* was super easy, quick, and turned out so well!
It’s super soft, very dense, and I can just taste the nuttiness from the almond flour and the coconut from the coconut oil.
I’ve tried it two ways so far:
* Toasted then topped with butter and cinnamon
* Topped with peanut butter and accompanied by unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Hubby joked that I should be so proud of myself. I think making bread took me to a whole different level of esteem in his eyes . Ha!!!
I cut mine into 9 slices as it makes a very shallow loaf and I wanted thick sandwich bread-size pieces. Using as the standard shallow loaf and cutting from the top instead, you should get 15 slices out of it.
ALMOND FLOUR BREAD RECIPE
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 4 medium eggs
- 1 5/8 oz coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup psyllium husk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) spray
Directions
- Heat oven to 350◦ F.
- Lightly spray loaf pan with EVOO.
- Place in a mixing bowl and mix together: 2 cups almond flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup psyllium husk.
- Add 4 eggs, 1 5/8 oz melted coconut oil, and 1/2 cup warm water then mix until well combined (do not overmix).
- Pour batter into loaf pan.
- Bake for 30 mins (until golden on the outside and cooked through the middle).
- After removing from oven, allow to cool in the loaf pan for 1 hr.
- Transfer to baking rack to dry for 2 hrs (if you skip this step, the bottom of your loaf will get mushy in the loaf pan).
