Low Carb Almond Flour Bread

A low carb bread that is simple to make and baked with almond flour.   Delicious sliced and toasted for breakfast.

As with most low carb breads, the psyllium husk powder gives it more of a bread texture and takes away any “eggy” taste that some breads have.  I separate the eggs and whisk up the egg white as I find it helps give the bread a less dense texture. 

To be completely honest, this low carb bread recipe is one that I just stumbled across as I needed an almond loaf bread slice for another project that I am working on.   Without my usual care on putting a recipe together for the blog, I threw everything in a bowl and just “guessed”, spread in a baking tin and baked it.

The bread was delicious and when munching a slice, thought to myself “this is blog worthy”.   So once again, I had to try to remember what I did!  That is such a bad habit of mine that I need to break in 2018.  There’s recipes that I create for the blog, which are written down, thought out, tried and tested with notes as I go along.  Then there are recipes that we eat when I say “meh, throw something together”.    Often these are delicious, and I then struggle trying to make them the same again.  There is still a chocolate cake that I need to recreate.  What was I thinking?  I clearly remember the Chief Taster requesting a cake, I threw something in a bowl and it was one of the best cakes we had eaten.  Can I remember the measurements? The number of eggs? Nope.   Oh well, it’s on the list of things to try again!

I made delicious French toast (aka “eggy bread” for the British) with this bread a day after making it.  One of the downsides of a low carb bread is that it can end up a bit moist after being kept in the fridge.  I dipped a couple of slices of the low carb bread into beaten egg, fried it in butter and voila!  A yummy breakfast was had!

8. Add the boiling water, ¼ cup at a time until you have a light dough.  (You may not need all the water so add a bit at a time to prevent a soggy dough).
