Almond Bread (Ket Diet) topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 110g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1 and 3/4 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp coarse salt
- 6 large eggs, room temperature, whites separated from yolks
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 22 x 12 cm (9 x 5 in) loaf pan. Line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to have a 5 cm (2 in) overhang on both sides (this will make it easier to remove the bread from the pan).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the egg yolks and butter.
- In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold about a third of the beaten whites into the almond mixture. Then gently fold in the remaining whites, being careful not to overbeat the batter (it's okay if a few streaks of white remain in the batter).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Pull the parchment paper out of the pan. Slice for sandwiches or toast, or enjoy with a little butter. Wrap any leftovers and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
