Here is the link to the original recipe, and I welcome you to check it out, since they give a lot of tips, as well as other variations, but I did change the technique somewhat. They used a food processor to mix in all the egg whites, whereas I finished by folding. Not sure how big a difference it makes, but I do like to occasionally use a few things I learned in culinary school.
While I really did enjoy this, and it was much more bread-like than I had anticipated, please be sure to manage your expectations appropriately. Without wheat flour and yeast, it�s impossible to get a true bread taste and texture, but if you�re off carbs, and have been dreaming about a nice slice of buttered toast with your eggs, this is well worth a try.
It has a subtle egginess, and faint almond flavor, but overall it�s relatively neutral, and the texture is reminiscent of an extra moist, and spongy white bread. If you wanted to run with my strawberry shortcake idea, you could add a spoon of sugar to the batter, and you�d just be some whipped cream away from a pretty decent, low-carb treat. Either way, I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!
Ingredients for one loaf:
1 1/2 cup fine ground almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup melted butter
6 large egg yolks
6 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Bake at 375 F. for about 30 minutes
