Ingredients for Almond Bread

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole blanched almonds

How to Make Almond Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large, clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until glossy meringue forms.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups almond flour and 1 cup whole blanched almonds.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer batter to the prepared sheet, shaping it into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  9. Using a serrated knife, slice the cooled log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  10. Arrange the slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes per side, or until golden brown and completely dry.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 weeks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
