Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Butter (for filling, softened)
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, melted butter, cream cheese, and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes to help it firm up.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Combine the softened butter, granulated erythritol, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into an oval shape on a clean, flat surface lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Spread a small amount of the prepared filling (about 1 teaspoon) onto the center of each flattened dough piece. Carefully roll the dough from one end to the other, enclosing the filling, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Optional: Brush the tops of the rolled bread with a little melted butter and sprinkle lightly with granulated erythritol for extra sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the low-carb Spanish bread to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a hot beverage or as a snack!
