Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat and prepare

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined and no lumps remain.

  3. 3

    Combine wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the apple cider vinegar and olive oil, whisking to combine.

  4. 4

    Form the dough

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 2 minutes — the psyllium husk will absorb moisture and firm the dough.

  5. 5

    Shape and score

    Transfer the dough to your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with damp fingers. Use a sharp knife to score a shallow line down the center — this helps the loaf rise evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake to golden

    Bake for 50–55 minutes until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  7. 7

    Cool completely

    Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing — at least 30 minutes. Cutting too early will result in a gummy interior.

Recipe notes

Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or slice and freeze for up to 3 months. Toast directly from frozen for best results.
