Simple Bread

simple bread

We spent New Year’s in the mountains and partied a bit too hard with our friends Peter and Patrice. Though I did not drink a drop of alcohol, I somehow ended up with a contact hangover. Everyone around me was imbibing and I must have become intoxicated by association.

As part of my “post holiday” status, I will be baking and sharing recipes that are not dessert until the urge to bake sweets returns. Of late, several people have asked me for my bread recipe. I am satisfied with it though not thrilled. It seems though, that so many people are in need of a quick and easy gluten-free bread that it is time to divulge mine. May be good for hangovers.

Simple Bread
2½ cups blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
1 tablespoon agave nectar
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar Simple Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt and baking soda
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add agave and vinegar
  3. Stir wet ingredients into dry
  4. Scoop batter into a small (approx. 6 x 3 inch) well greased loaf pan
  5. Bake at 300 degrees for 45-55 minutes on bottom rack of oven; until a knife comes out clean
  6. Cool and serve

Makes 12 slices

This lower-carb, higher-protein, gluten-free bread is a cinch to make. It is especially tasty toasted with a smear of almond butter, my favorite raspberry jelly and a sprinkle of salt.
