Ingredients
- 3 large eggs 160g net weight
- 120 g full fat cream cheese
- 50 g whey protein isolate (U.S. option HERE)
- 25 g fine psyllium husk powder (U.S. option HERE)
- ⅛ tsp fine himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 tsp baking powder sifted
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (U.S. option HERE)
- ½ tsp coconut oil (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 sprinkle (optional) coconut flour (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- pre-heat oven to 140ºC fan (160ºC static).
- using a large mixing bowl, soften cream cheese and salt using a manual whisk , add eggs - one at a time, then apple cider vinegar.
- pile remainder of dry ingredients into a separate mixing bowl and stir, ensuring there are no lumps.
- combine and whisk again to amalgamate really well.
- let the mixture rest for a couple of minutes, until it thickens and becomes quite gooey (add a little more psyllium if too runny - it should stick to your spoon, rather than slide off it)
- smear a little coconut oil over the base and sides of an 18 cm x 9 cm or 7" x 3.5" small loaf tin, then pour in the mixture and level it.
- bake for 35 minutes until brown on top and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- allow the loaf to cool, then dust with coconut flour if you wish to mimic the farmhouse look.
Notes
As psyllium husk powder is a natural product, it varies between brands and between batches of the same brand. Some psyllium can impart a purple or brown tinge, but it won't affect the flavour or texture of your bread.
It is imperative that you sift the baking powder and whisk the dry ingredients until there are no visible lumps.
Don't expect it to rise much, as there's no gluten involved.
Stick to the same size baking tin. If you use a larger one, you may not get a rise at all.
Once the loaf is completely cool, you can transfer it to a sealed plastic container and it will stay fresh for 3-4 days kept at room temperature, or longer if refrigerated. Can also be frozen until required.
Re-heating isn't necessary, as the loaf tastes and feels like ordinary sandwich bread, but toasting makes it exceptional.
Weigh ingredients accurately using Metric Kitchen Scales. U.S. option HERE.
