That would taste great with almond butter!
I love fresh baked bread!
I will be trying this recipe Jan...thank you 💕
I love almonds. I feel this bread reminds me of what I have to keep in this excessive world.
Wow... what a wonderful idea!
I simply adore almonds...in whatever recipe they are used.
I can't wait to try this!
Many thanks. ☺☺
Hello, the bread looks delicious. It is great to have a healthy choice and recipe. Thanks for sharing. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
I've wanted to try making a gluten-free bread, but I haven't tried yet. I'm curious, what is psyllium husk, and is it available in most supermarkets?
Hope all is well with you, Jan, and wishing you all the best in 2018!
A belated happy new year, Jan, and what delicious-looking almond bread!
Looks delicious!
Hello Rose and thanks for your question, which is:
"I'm curious, what is psyllium husk, and is it available in most supermarkets?"
Almond flour doesn’t behave like wheat flour (which many readers may be accustomed to), because there is no gluten to make the bread stretchy or soft. So to make almond flour behave like regular wheat flour, eggs are used for structure, protein and air.
Many low carb recipes also use psyllium, which absorbs water many times its own volume. It also helps give structure and volume to a low-carb bread recipe, and adds plenty of fibre.
Psyllium is available as Husks whole or Powder and most low carbers do get theirs from sites such as Amazon.
Gluten Free Girl ... Shauna explains about Psyllium on her site ... she says:
" You may have noticed: we’re using psyllium husk in some of our baked goods recipes lately. And many of you have been writing to ask us — what the heck is psyllium husk?
Just a few notes for you...
Psyllium is sold as whole psyllium husks and psyllium powder. In my experience, the whole husks are the most effective. However, if you only have access to psyllium powder, then use that in equal volume as the husks in the recipe.
You don’t need psyllium for all gluten-free baked goods. Instead, think about the baked goods that truly rely on gluten — breads, pizza dough, rolls, pasta. These do well with a touch of psyllium.
And if you can’t find it at your store immediately, look in the health section. It’s often sold as COLON CLEANSER. That may not sound appetizing, but it works in baked goods. (You’re only using 1 to 3 tablespoons for an entire batch of bread dough, so the cleaning qualities are pretty minimal. But if you bake often, you’re going to be regular!)
Try some. I think you’ll be surprised at how well this works in gluten-free baking."
There is also a video on her site so do pop over and see, use this link here

Happy Low Carb Bread Making.
All the best Jan
Everything looks yummy Jan..That tray looks wonderful..Enjoy your day
I will make this bread this week once I buy coconut oil and phyllium - 2 ingredients I never use.
Thanks!
I can't recall hearing of almond flour before.
How good it looks. I must admit to having never made my own bread.xxx
Yum.
Interesting. And I had never considered the difficulties that making bread from gluten free ingredients could cause.
looks good
I bet this is really good, but my husband is allergic to almonds. We haven't quite found a good substitute for almond flour.

Hello Amy, could you consider using Coconut Flour in your recipes?
Coconut Flour vs Almond Flour
'There is always debate regarding coconut flour vs almond flour. Both are gluten free, both are grain free and both are used heavily in low carb and Paleo cooking.
Both are less processed than “healthy whole-grains”, both coconut flour and almond flour are more nutritious flours without the need for fortification, that many wheat based products often have.'

Happy Cooking, Happy Eating
All the best Jan
Beautiful, I'll have to give that a try, cheers Jan.
Hello,
That's looking very well. A delicious bread.
Beautifully made that slice with meat, tasty cheese and other healthy refreshments. Hmmm...!!
Greetings, Marco
Hi, Jan ... it's so nice that you continue to drop in my place. I feel a little guilty, but I'm not what you'd call the healthiest cook, and never will be. We are a meat and potato family. My wife is very picky so I don't try to change-up very much. Otherwise I would be here daily snagging ideas for the next dinner. Cheers -Mac
plus, I should add I'm a really lazy cook.
Hmmm, that looks good !
That looks so yummy!
It looks so dense and tasty!
This sounds tasty. I would love to try some! Thanks for sharing. :)

We tried this bread when we first started our gluten free diet and neither of us cared for it at all, we just totally cut out bread instead, but I know of others that didn't mind it
I've made almond buns and they were delicious. Looks so good with butter on it.
this sounds amazing Jean! I have almond flour, I use to some recipes and love it!
Looks so good! Thank you Jan!
Thanks, I will try that.
I made almond buns and they were very tasty but the grainy feel was a bit much. Maybe I need a finer ground almond flour next time. Enjoy your day.
