Best Almond Bread

Bread is a huge part of our food culture. Some form of bread is included in nearly all restaurant and home cooked meals. We grew up eating bread, and we give our kids bread. Bread is part of who we are.So what do you do when you figure out that all that bread is causing weight gain? Throw out your breadbox and be done with it?

Well, that approach would work, but I’d rather adapt my bread recipes by using real food ingredients and leaving the grains out. This way there’s still a slice of something warm and soft to be eaten with dinner, and I can still make French toast on the weekends.

Yes, you can still enjoy a slice of bread while avoiding grains and gluten. This moist bread is made with almond meal, which gives it a delicious nutty flavor.

Note: This recipe could be made with either blanched almond flour or almond meal. The difference? Blanched almond flour is made with blanched almonds with the skins removed. Almond meal is made with almonds that still have their skins on. As a result, almond meal is heartier, darker in color, and produces baked goods that are denser. Baked goods made with blanched almond flour are lighter in color and more delicate in texture.
