  • Line the bread pan with parchment. I place my pan over the parchment and cut slits to each corner then fold it into my pan. Or use ghee to grease your bread pan.

  • Separate the egg whites into a large bowl and yolks into a medium bowl. Melt the ghee in the microwave trying not to get too hot. Just liquified.

  • Mix into the egg yolks; sugar substitute, ghee, almond flour, salt, and spices. This mixture will be fairly thick. Mix 1/2 the egg whites in on low, then fold the rest of the egg whites in until well mixed.

  • Tent the top of your bread with parchment or foil. I find this helps keep the bread from getting too brown on top.

  • Bake covered for 1 hour and check that it has baked through. Insert a toothpick or knife in the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Notes

This bread is such a treat.  I make it every few months.  Whenever I'm feeling a little deprived of baked goods.  It's wonderful with coffee and will definitely satisfy a sweet tooth.  Let me know if you enjoy it as much as I do!
