Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour (Substitute with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free variation)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder (Ensure it’s fresh for optimal results)
- 1 tsp Salt (Increase if using unsalted Parmesan)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs (For a vegan option, use flax eggs: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water)
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (Use finely grated for better incorporation)
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano (Fresh oregano can be substituted for a more intense taste)
- 1 tsp Dried Basil (Adjust based on preference; fresh can also be used)
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme (Use sparingly if substituting with fresh thyme)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and pale, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and your choice of herbs.
- Incorporate Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently stirring until just combined.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the prepared batter into your lined loaf pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Before Slicing: Once out of the oven, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
- For a vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water, mixed and rested).
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor, adjusting quantities accordingly.
- Ensure baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
- Allow bread to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
