*WARNING IN ADVANCE*
This recipe is seriously, dangerously, delicious. Actually though. This bread is better than any gluten-free bread I’ve ever bought or tried to make – it’s light, fluffy and is best enjoyed fresh from the oven (with a glass or two of wine – of course).
*DISCLAIMER*
I actually use spelt in this recipe but have also done a blend of gluten-free flours such as buckwheat, coconut, oat, and/or arrowroot. I haven’t tried almond yet but have been meaning to give it a go – although I feel as though the bread may turn out a bit denser but there is only one way to find out! This recipe is super forgiving so use what feels best for you and your body. I have a list of suggestions down in the recipe as well. 🙂
For those trying to keep it Keto friendly, I would suggest using Almond, Chickpea or Coconut Flour with the Psyllium Husk option and use the stevia instead of cane sugar if desired. You could also trying using Oat, Teff or Amaranth flour depending how strict of a ketogenic diet you are doing!
Enjoy!
