Ingredients

<ul class="ingredients-main-list"><li class="ingredients-single-item">300g blanched almond flour (not almond meal)</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">15g psyllium husk powder (100% pure)</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">10g baking powder</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">3g salt</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">5 large eggs, separated</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">60ml melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">60ml warm water</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">15ml apple cider vinegar</li><li class="ingredients-single-item">1g xanthan gum (optional, for better texture)</li></ul>

Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"><li class="equipment-single-item">23cm x 13cm (9x5-inch) loaf pan</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Parchment paper</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Electric mixer</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Digital kitchen scale</li></ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line your loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift the bread out after baking.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Separate your eggs, placing the whites in a large clean bowl and the yolks in a medium bowl. Make sure no yolk contaminates the whites, as this will prevent them from whipping properly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form - when you lift the beaters, the peaks should stand up straight without folding over. This process incorporates air into the bread, helping it rise without traditional gluten structure.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>In another large bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Whisk thoroughly to remove any lumps and distribute the leavening agents evenly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>To the bowl with egg yolks, add the melted coconut oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well combined. The vinegar reacts with the baking powder to create more rise, which is crucial in gluten-free baking.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Pour the wet yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The mixture will be thick - this is normal. The psyllium husk will begin absorbing moisture, creating a dough-like consistency.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two more additions, using a gentle cutting and folding motion to maintain as much air as possible. The batter should be light and fluffy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, gently smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle a few almond slices on top for decoration.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift it out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This cooling period is crucial - cutting too soon will cause the bread to compress and become dense.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 11</h4>Once completely cool (at least 2 hours), use a sharp serrated knife to slice the bread into 16 even slices. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.</li></ol>

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about this delicious recipe right here.

What ingredients are used in Keto Almond Flour Sandwich Bread?

This bread uses blanched almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, eggs, coconut oil or butter, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and optional xanthan gum. The combination creates a sturdy low-carb loaf that doesn't crumble when sliced.

How to cook Keto Almond Flour Sandwich Bread at home?

Learn how to cook Keto Almond Flour Sandwich Bread by whisking dry ingredients, separating eggs, whipping whites to stiff peaks, combining yolks with wet ingredients, gently folding everything together, and baking at 180°C for 30-35 minutes. The key techniques are properly whipping egg whites and allowing the bread to cool completely before slicing.

Why does my low-carb bread collapse after baking?

Low-carb bread often collapses due to under-whipped egg whites, opening the oven door during baking, or cutting the bread while still hot. Ensure you whip whites to stiff peaks, maintain a consistent oven temperature, and allow the bread to cool completely (at least 2 hours) before slicing.

Can I substitute psyllium husk powder in almond flour bread?

Psyllium husk powder is crucial for structure in keto bread, but ground flaxseed or chia seeds can work as alternatives at a 1:1 ratio. However, these substitutes may produce a denser texture and slightly different flavour, while lacking the same binding properties that create that perfect sandwich slice.

How do I store homemade gluten-free bread to keep it fresh?

Store your gluten-free bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week. For longer storage, slice the completely cooled bread, place parchment paper between slices, and freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Toast frozen slices without thawing.
