Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut flour
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the six large eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, giving the bread a lighter texture.
- Gradually add the melted butter to the beaten eggs while continuing to whisk. This will create a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
- Slowly pour the egg and butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
- Add the 1/4 cup of water to the mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined and a thick batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the bread and enjoy it as a low-carb alternative for sandwiches, toasts, or simply with butter.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent texture.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate more air, which helps create a lighter bread.
- If the batter seems too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time - but be careful not to make it too runny.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness - it should come out clean when the bread is fully baked.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and achieve the best texture.
- Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or slice and freeze for longer storage.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dry ingredients.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, brush the top with a beaten egg before baking.
