Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 teaspoon herbs or spices (such as rosemary, thyme, garlic powder)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional Add-ins and Toppings
- 1/4 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds
- Pinch of cinnamon and natural sweetener (for sweet variation)
- Sesame or sunflower seeds for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, natural gelling agent, natural baking powder, salt, and any optional herbs or spices. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the rising agents and seasoning.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, plant-based yogurt, and olive oil until smooth and creamy. This mixture provides moisture and richness that tenderize the bread as it bakes.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously. Mix until you achieve a thick, sticky batter. The natural gelling agent will help bind everything together without heaviness.
- Transfer to Baking Pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter in and spread it evenly. Optionally sprinkle seeds or nuts on top to create a decorative crust.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its tender texture.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs to help the bread rise evenly.
- Do not overmix batter; stir only until combined to avoid a dense texture.
- Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature and prevent drying out the bread.
- Customize the flavor by experimenting with various herbs, spices, and toppings.
- Allow bread to cool before slicing for clean, firm slices.
