Ingredients
- 250 g organic blanched almond flour
- 30 g organic psyllium husk powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.75 tsp fine sea salt
- 6 piece organic eggs, separated
- 30 ml organic extra-virgin olive oil
- 15 ml organic apple cider vinegar
- 180 ml boiling water
- 1 tbsp organic sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp organic pumpkin seeds
Step-by-step method
- Heat the oven to 175 C (350 F). Line a small loaf tin with parchment, leaving an overhang so the loaf lifts out easily.
- Whisk almond flour, psyllium, baking powder and salt until no clumps remain. Keep the dry mix loose and aerated rather than packing it down.
- In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with olive oil and vinegar. Fold this mixture through the dry ingredients until evenly moistened.
- With clean beaters, whip egg whites to soft peaks. Fold one-third into the almond mixture to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest.
- Pour in the boiling water and fold briskly just until a thick, scoopable batter forms. Transfer at once to the tin and smooth the top; the psyllium continues to absorb water as it stands.
- Scatter sesame and pumpkin seeds over the top. Bake until the loaf is firm, browned and sounds hollow when tapped, about 50 minutes. If the crust darkens early, cover loosely with parchment.
- Lift the loaf onto a rack and cool completely before slicing. A warm loaf can seem gummy inside; give the crumb time to set.
Chef’s tips
- Weigh the psyllium carefully. Too much can make the loaf dense and damp.
- Let the loaf cool fully before slicing, then use a serrated knife.
- If the crumb looks purple, the psyllium may be naturally dark; it is still usable if the loaf is fully baked and smells fresh.
Variations
- Add organic chopped rosemary and lemon zest for a savoury loaf.
- Replace the top seeds with organic sunflower seeds or chopped hazelnuts.
- Toast slices and serve beneath soft eggs with wilted organic spinach.
Storage
Cool completely, slice, and refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Freeze slices with parchment between them for up to 2 months; toast from frozen.
