Low Carb High Fat Bread

Yes please! Who does not LOVE a slice of warm bread just from the oven smothered with farm style butter. What’s even better is that you don't have to feel guilty while enjoying it. I have tried and tested this recipe in the past couple of weeks and according to the critics (my family) this one is delicious. It is perfect for lunch and/or a light snack served with creamy pates.


Ingredients:

500ml Almond flour
20ml Psyllium husk powder
15ml Baking powder
250ml Full cream yogurt
50ml Melted butter
5 Eggs
4 Tbls mixed seeds/nuts
Pinch of salt

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 140C and grease a medium size bread tin.
Melt the butter in the microwave. In a medium size bowl, whisk the eggs until creamy and FOLD the butter, almond flour, Psyllium husk powder, baking powder, full cream yogurt, mixed seeds/nuts and salt together. The dough should have a sticky texture. Rest the dough in the fridge for 5 minutes.

Place the dough into the bread tin and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown. Test if bread is thoroughly cooked by sticking a clean knife into the centre of the bread-if knife comes out dry, the bread is ready. Let the bread rest for a couple of minutes or have a slice with a dollop of butter immediately :-)

Notes:
 
Gently fold the ingredients together to keep the air in the dough.
Cover the bread tin with baking paper if your pans are a bit scratched in order to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
Add olives or sundried tomatoes to the dough for something different.
I like to fry a slice or two in a pan with some garlic and olive oil.
 
 
Enjoy!
