Best eaten cut into thick slices, used as a side to salads, soup, spread it with butter or top with avocado and drizzle with olive oil. Yum!
Bone Broth Bread
Prep time: 10mins ~ Total prep time: 1 hour ~ Yield: 1 loaf and 10 thick slices ~
1/2 cup of bone broth
Note: Chicken broth is best for this, but beef broth will work too. You just need the broth to be gelled when it’s chilled; if it’s not, add 1-1/2 tbsp unflavoured powdered beef gelatin when you’re heating up the broth.
2 eggs
3 tbsp. flax meal
1.5 tsp. ground rosemary
1.5 tsp. basil
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 cup coconut butter
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup of almond flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Optional – these lighten up the flavour and add a nice touch:
2 tsp. honey
1 tsp. tumeric
(Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius (conventional 0ven) or 130 degrees (fan-forced)
Method:
Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil. Put all ingredients in mixing bowl or food processor and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture into greased pan and bake for 35-50 minutes, checking at the 35 minute mark.
Note: Grain-free breads don’t rise much and tend to stay about the same level as the batter you pour into the tin. This bread will look a bit wet, even when it’s done baking and won’t bounce much, as there is very little actual ‘flour,’ rather it’s rich in protein and ‘fats.’ You’ll know when it’s cooked because it’ll turn a light golden colour on top and have that little bit of firmness when you press it.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely (which will keep it from breaking.) Then run a butter knife around the edge and tip it out.
Tip: Store the bread in the fridge where it will firm up because the oils will harden. Take it out of fridge 30 mins before serving. It also freezes well, so you could double recipe, slice it, freeze and thaw a slice as you want it.
Give it a go, this could be the latest craze in your household 🙂
