Almond Pumpkin Seed Bread
Almond flour is notorious for creating a heavier and denser keto bread. However, when I combined it with ground raw pumpkin seeds, the bread rose so well, looking like a yeast bread but there's no yeast. This bread is light, airy, soft and fluffy. It tastes pleasant, too and when toasted, they are crispy. This result shows how different low carb flours behave in terms of rise and texture. It also shows how they perform when combined with other flours. So, if you prefer a keto bread that rises well and have a light and fluffy texture, then choose those that are made with oat fiber, ground flaxseeds, sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.
2. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
3. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Add all the wet ingredients (except the hot water) and mix briefly. Finally, add the hot or boiling water and mix until a soft dough is formed. The dough may look watery initially but as you mix, it will firm up. Alternatively, you can let it rest just for a while until it becomes firmer. However, this is a soft dough so do not worry about letting it firm up so much.
5. In the video, I used an 8x5x4 inch loaf pan which is ideal for making yeast or tall bread (see link to purchase above). Grease and line the pan with parchment paper.
6. Transfer the dough into the pan. Spread evenly and leave the top round. Top with almond flakes and pumpkin seeds (optional). Press down lightly to ensure they stick to the dough.
7. Bake at the lowest rack for 1 hour. It is done when the internal temperature is 200F or 93C.
8. Cool completely before slicing into 12 to 16 servings.
9. The bread can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months or longer.
