Almond Bread

OMG I MADE BREAD!!!!

I went on a quick-bread hunt and found a few recipes I will be trying out. I found one made of almond flour, yogurt and lots of eggs. OMG it is good. (expensive too since i don't have the equipment to make my own almond flour....) I think also a key to making this work is using the oven in my microwave (it is a kick-ass piece of machinery with not only micro settings but conventional oven and rotisserie) simply because I can get a consistent and accurate temperature and the door is glass and I can watch the bread. Some of my best yeast recipes were egg and yogurt based, so I'm really glad this worked. Yogurt in bread seems to be a key secret ingredient! I thought I would share. :-)

Almond Bread

~3 c almond flour

1/4 c starch (i used tapioca)

2 1/4c tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 lg eggs

1/2 c yogurt (i used plain coconut yogurt)

2 T butter or oil (I used 1 T ghee and 1 T canola)

1 T sweetener (I used honey)

Preheat oven to 325F. Grease & flour a glass bread pan.

Mix dry and wet ingredients separately. Quickly add wet to dry, mix just enough to de-lump and drop into the bread pan. Smooth out (with a wet hand if necessary) and pop into the oven asap. Watch to make sure it doesn't get too brown on top. If so, drop oven temp to 300F. Bake for 40-45 min. until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.

It is very flavorful and will fill you up fast (ie: it may be a small sandwich but it is a MIGHTY one. lol) Recipe says that it should be kept in the refrigerator and is good for pan frying like cornmeal mush and turns out tasting like french toast.
