- One tbsp of apple cider vinegar
- Half a tsp of baking soda
- One cup of almond flour
- Warm water, one cup
INGREDIENT DIRECTIONS:
PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER:
- We use psyllium husk powder, which is important for structure. It bonds the dough and provides a bread-like chewy. If you omit it, your bread is going to break into pieces. There is no perfect keto substitution, but chia seed powder is helpful in very small amounts.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- It is mixed with baking soda makes the bread swell. Lemon juice also works, but provides a slower rise.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour helps to absorb moisture and provides structure. It maintains the texture and prevents the bread from becoming too heavy. If you like, you can use half as much psyllium because it absorbs more liquid.
OLIVE OIL:
- It provides the moisture and helps the crust to firm up smoothly. If you want to add a normal taste, you can use avocado oil.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- It helps to deliver a smooth flavor and a soft crumb to the bread. It’s good for a keto diet. If you want a nut-free variety, you can use sunflower seed flour instead.
