There’s nothing more enticing than the smell of sourdough bread that’s come right out of the oven! This one’s better than the best since it’s so wholesome & hardy for you!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup psyllium husk
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup flax meal
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. sea salt or Kosher salt (plus extra for topping)
- 3/4 cup egg whites (about 6 large egg whites)
- 2 whole eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or 3/4 cup almond milk with 1 tsp apple cider
- vinegar)
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 3 T. olive oil
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning (optional) (I did not use this)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F & line a baking sheet with a silicone nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl (almond flour, psyllium husk, coconut flour, flax meal, 1 tsp. salt, baking powder & baking soda. Whisk well to combine.
- In a separate bowl add egg whites, eggs, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar & water. Whisk until frothy on top.
- Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix well just until incorporated.
- Divide & portion dough into 1 large loaf, small loaves or rolls. Use a kitchen scale to make rolls all equal in size.
- Score the tops of each loaf/roll with a sharp knife. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the bottoms & edges of each roll are light golden brown or 40 to 45 minutes for large loaf.
- Remove from oven & brush tops of each roll with melted butter. Then sprinkle with a little salt & Italian seasoning (if desired). Place back in the oven under broil for 2 to 3 minutes until tops are a deep golden brown & crisp. Keep an eye on the rolls to make sure you do not burn them.
