Baking your own bread at home does not have to be complicated or take up your whole afternoon.

I love making a fresh loaf on the weekend so I have bread ready for easy breakfasts all week long.

Recipe Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
• 6 large Eggs, Separated
• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted & Cooled
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Cream Of Tartar
• 1/2 tsp Salt

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides for easy lifting.

Step 2

Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large clean bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on high speed for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the egg yolks, melted butter, almond flour, baking powder, salt and about one third of the whipped egg whites. Process until a thick, smooth dough forms.

Step 4

Scrape the thick dough into the bowl with the remaining egg whites. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined and no large white streaks remain.

Take your time here and do not stir hard. Keeping the air in the egg whites is what makes the loaf light and fluffy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift the loaf out and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips

Separate Eggs While They Are Cold

I recommend separating your egg yolks and whites straight out of the fridge. Cold yolks are firm and much less likely to break into your whites.

Once they are separated, let the whites sit on the counter for about twenty minutes. Room temperature egg whites whip up much higher and create the best rise for your loaf.

Keep Your Mixing Bowl Completely Clean

You’ll get the best results if your mixing bowl and beaters are totally free of oil or grease. Even a tiny smear of butter or broken yolk can stop the whites from whipping into stiff peaks.

My favorite trick here is using a glass or metal bowl instead of a plastic one. Plastic bowls tend to hold onto leftover food oils even after a good wash.

Choose Super Fine Blanched Almond Flour

From my experience, the texture of your bread depends heavily on the flour you buy. Always look for a bag labeled blanched and super fine.

Almond meal or coarse ground flour still has brown skins mixed in, which makes the bread heavy and gritty. Fine flour absorbs the butter evenly and gives you a light crumb that feels like traditional sandwich bread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this bread taste overly eggy?

Because it uses six eggs, you might notice a mild egg flavor, but the rich almond flour and butter balance it out well.

You can add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of garlic powder to the batter to help neutralize the egg taste.
