Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground psyllium husk
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground psyllium husk, salt, and active dry yeast. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate small bowl, mix warm water (around 110°F) with apple cider vinegar. The temperature is crucial to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Gradually pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to create a smooth, cohesive dough. The consistency should be similar to a thick, sticky bread batter.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free area for 30-45 minutes. This allows the yeast to activate and the dough to develop structure.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- After resting, transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Make a few diagonal slashes on top of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool completely in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your water is precisely 110°F when activating the yeast. Too hot, and you'll kill the yeast; too cold, and it won't activate properly.
- Psyllium Husk Magic: This ingredient is crucial for creating the right bread texture. Make sure to use finely ground psyllium husk for the best results.
- Mixing Technique: Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution of yeast and salt.
- Resting is Key: Don't rush the resting period. The 30-45 minute rest allows the yeast to develop flavor and structure.
- Oven Accuracy: Use an oven thermometer to confirm your oven is at the exact 350°F for consistent baking.
- Cooling Patience: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
- Storage Tip: For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days at room temperature or up to a week when refrigerated.
