Ingredients
- 4 large eggs room temperature,
220 g net weight, U.S. = XL eggs - 30 g extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 20 g whey protein isolate MUST BE 'ISOLATE'
- 20 g lupin flour
- 15 g bamboo fibre
- 1 TBSP baking powder - 10g
- ¾ tsp xanthan gum
- ¾ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- separate eggs: put yolks into a medium glass mixing bowl and whites into a large one.4 large eggs
- weigh and place dry ingredients into another mixing bowl, making sure to sift the lupin flour and baking powder; mix well using a fork or small wire whisk.20 g whey protein isolate, 20 g lupin flour, 15 g bamboo fibre, 1 TBSP baking powder, ¾ tsp xanthan gum, ¾ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- lay a large silicone baking sheet over an over rack and set it aside.
- pre-heat oven to
170 °C static. - using a hand-held electric whisk, whip egg whites to very stiff peaks.
- whip egg yolks with the same electric whisk at high speed (no need to rinse it first) until pale and creamy; add vinegar and oil, and whip; add 100g cold water, and whip again briefly.30 g extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- tip the mixed dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, and incorporate manually, by fast whipping with the detached balloon whisk.
- immediately pour yolks mixture over whipped egg whites and, with the balloon whisk still detached, incorporate by stabbing and folding until you end up with a smooth batter.
- pour your batter over the silicone sheet, then use a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/2” height across the entire sheet area, creating a square-corner rectangle. ALTERNATIVELY, drop 16 well-spaced heaps over 2 baking sheets and flatten them into a disc with the back of a spoon (or use 3 eggs for 12 larger buns).
- bake for 30 minutes.
- remove from oven and set aside for 5 minutes, then flip and peel away the silicone sheet.
- cut into 12 squares/rectangles and store, uncovered * (important - see notes), or freeze until needed.
Notes
Once sliced, this bread can be portioned and kept in the freezer.
If opting for buns, use 3/4 (75%) of the recipe ingredients to make 12 buns (baking time: 25 mins), or the full recipe for 16 - for which you will need two silicone sheets on two oven racks.
Important information
Due to the bamboo flour, these sandwich slices/buns will feel dry to the touch at first, then will become slightly moist and sticky, then will start to dry up again, shrinking a little. Store the slices/buns uncovered, so that residual moisture evaporates, otherwise they will become too sticky and may even develop mould.
Best line the container you choose with non-stick baking paper and place the slices/buns loosely to allow for air circulation (I suggest shuffling them around every day).
After a few days, the slices/buns will begin to shrink a little and feel dry - this is when you can seal the container to stop any further drying. Unlike other keto or carnivore breads that contain white egg powder and/or gelatine which burn in the toaster, this bread toast well.
Set the toaster to the lowest temperature level and check/adjust thereafter. Toasting them when dry will yield a lovely, crispy shell with softer centre. Measure your ingredients accurately using Metric Kitchen Scales: Food Scales UK Food Scales U.S.
