Low Carb Bread

Annie
This low carb bread is more soft and moist than most keto breads. It's easy to make, and perfect for sandwiches.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup psyllium husk whole flakes spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal spooned and leveled
  • 2 1/4 cups almond flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 6 large egg whites at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F, and prepare an 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Optionally, blend the psyllium husk and flaxseed meal in a blender for about 30 seconds, until they're extra finely ground.
  • Transfer the psyllium husk and flaxseed meal to a large mixing bowl, along with the almond flour, salt, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Whisk to combine.
  • Whip the egg whites in an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on high speed, until stiff peaks form, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Mix the apple cider vinegar into the boiling water, and pour it over the ingredients. Mix quickly until a thick dough forms, about 1 minute.
  • Working quickly, add about 1 cup of the whipped egg whites to the bowl of dough, and mix vigorously until the dough becomes looser.
  • Fold the remaining whipped egg whites in 2 more additions, being careful not to mix. Otherwise the egg whites will deflate. Fold the batter enough that it is a uniform color and consistency. This may take 2-4 minutes.
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake in the center rack of the oven for 70-80 minutes. The outside of the bread should form a nice browned crust.
  • Allow the bread to cool for about 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

  • To save time, you can boil the water by heating it in the microwave.
  • Store the bread in a ziplock bag on the counter for up to 4 days, in the fridge for up to 6 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
