Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 10 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 250 ml Boiling water
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams Sourdough starter (keto adaptation)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and sourdough starter until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.
Slowly add the boiling water into the dough, mixing continuously. The dough will become gel-like and slightly sticky.
Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes to let the psyllium husk absorb the liquid and thicken.
Wet your hands with some water to prevent sticking, then shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the bread has risen and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
