Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour, super-fine
  • 1/2 cup psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or other granular sugar substitute
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water (about 105115 F)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil

  • Instructions

    1. 1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 F (175 C). Line a standard loaf pan (8.5 x 4.5 inches or 9 x 5 inches) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the bread out later. Lightly grease the parchment paper for extra non-stick insurance.

    2. 2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, erythritol (or your chosen sugar substitute), baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps and the ingredients are evenly distributed. This ensures consistent texture throughout the bread.

    3. 3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the warm water, apple cider vinegar, egg whites, and olive oil until well combined. The mixture should be uniform and slightly frothy.

    4. 4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, mix until just combined. The dough will be very thick and somewhat sticky. Do not overmix; just ensure all the dry ingredients are moistened. The psyllium husk will start to absorb liquid quickly, so work efficiently.

    5. 5. Shape and Transfer: Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Use your spatula, slightly dampened if needed, to smooth the top and gently press the dough into an even layer. The dough should fill the pan about halfway to two-thirds.

    6. 6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The bread is ready when the top is golden brown, and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You can also gently tap the top; it should sound hollow.

    7. 7. Cool Before Slicing: Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before using the parchment paper overhang to lift it out onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely on the wire rack before slicing. This is crucial for the bread to set properly and prevent a gummy texture.
