Ingredients
- Almond flour
- Yeast
- Water
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water (around 110°F) with active dry yeast and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of salt.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Stir the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or spatula until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture will be slightly wetter and stickier than traditional wheat bread dough.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free area for 30-45 minutes to allow the yeast to work and the dough to rise slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
- Transfer the risen dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or wet fingers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or slice and freeze for longer preservation.
Tips
- Check Your Yeast: Make sure your yeast is fresh and active for the best rise. If your mixture doesn’t foam after 5-10 minutes, it may be time to get a new packet.
- Warm Water is Key: Use warm water (around 110°F) to activate the yeast effectively. Too hot can kill the yeast, while too cold won’t activate it.
- Don't Skip the Resting Time: Allowing the dough to rest in a warm area is crucial for the yeast to work its magic. This step helps create a lighter texture in your bread.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your bread by adding herbs, spices, or even seeds for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage Tips: To keep your bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze it, then toast slices directly from the freezer when you’re ready to enjoy!
