Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully separate 6 eggs, placing the yolks in a large bowl and the the whites in a medium size bowl.
- Place the 2 whole eggs in the large bowl with the yolks and add the oil. 4. Beat together with a fork or whisk until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the egg yolk mixture. Stir the mixture with a spatula until well incorporated and set aside.
- Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Use a rubber spatula to transfer ⅓ of the whipped egg whites to the almond mixture and gently fold the batter together.
- Add the next ⅓ of the whites to the batter and fold in until smooth.
- Gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until the batter is smooth and no white streaks remain.
- Line the bottom of an ungreased loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until the top has set and formed a golden crust.
- Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes before running a thin knife along the inside of the pan to release the sides of the loaf. Gently unmold the loaf from the pan and remove the parchment paper on the bottom.
- Let the cake cool at room temperature for 1 hour before slicing.
- Enjoy!

I swapped in unsweetened applesauce for the extra whole eggs, and still ended up with a pleasantly-tasting, dense, close-textured bread. It’s very moist, so I absolutely recommend toasting a slice before you eat it. That helps dry it out and give it more of a crisp bread texture. Next time I’m going to attempt to spice it up with cinnamon and nutmeg.

So i made this using coconut flour instead of almond flour because I’m super allergic to almonds. Here are a few things I learned from it. First thing, coconut flour is WAY more absorbent that almond. So I did half of the recommend amount. I also found that you will need 3 more eggs. Add one to the separated amount, and two eggs for the yolk side.

Since many people mentioned this bread is too eggy, I substituted the 2 whole eggs with applesauce. I used coconut oil (I should have melted it first before measuring) and the coco oil made this bread smell coconutty which is good. I also added a pinch of garlic powder,oregano,basil and parsley. I put sesame seed on top to make it more like ordinary bread

It definitely tastes better when you toast it. But all low carb bread is going to taste eggy. I like to add Basil, oregano, and garlic powder to add some extra flavor. But it’s by far my favorite low carb bread!
