Almond Butter Bread

[Ginaaaaaa]

I forgot how much I love this bread! Made a grilled cheese tonight and we had burgers the other night with the rolls. They actually hold together better than a regular hamburger bun. My DD likes them better too. My grilled cheese came out crispy on the outside and the cheese was all melted and gooey.

I tried melting cheese on some almond butter bread, but I could hardcore taste the almond, and it was not good (to me). Still trying to find a grain-free, soy-free bread strong enough for a good grilled cheese!

Try the waffle-wich. My mom made a grilled cheese with low carb waffles in her sandwich maker, but you can probably do it in a skillet.

I'm going to make donuts out of this recipe tomorrow -- with tweaks of course.

[Tweaker Geek]

Donuts, huh? Yum! Do let us know your tweaks and how they come out.

[rosethorns]

Let me try toexplain this better.I took 1/2 of this recipe from Brenda.

This is from the fat head Paleo site. It was posted on Facebook
It is pretty much the same recipe here but it uses water. I only made half the recipe for the bagels. And I got 12. I only baked the bagels for about 15-16 minutes. It was really good and the almond taste is not even detectable.

16-oz. jar creamy almond butter

6 eggs
2 teaspoons baking power
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup warm water


1. Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Mix the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
3. Pour the batter into a 9 x 5 greased bread pan.
4. Bake until firm. (In our oven, it took about an hour)


---------------------------------------------------------------

8oz. creamy almond butter ( homemade )
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 plus 2 tablespoons of water

I then split this into 2 bowls. One bowl I added 1 tablespoon of sauteed onion. Pour it into my bagel pans. And baked for 16 minutes. 6 bagels

DONUTS
The second bowl I added

1 Tablespoon dutch chocolate cocoa powder
1 T. Erythitol
a pinch of stevia

After adding this mix well and then pour in your donut pans . bake at 325 for 16 min.

I powdered some E. for powdered sugar on my donut. It was so yum.

I hope that helps.

Here is the recipe for the donuts, the pics are post #218
These are the best and I want to make th pumpkin donuts next.

Jillybean I feel the same as you. I so wanted to like this bread, but I could only get through one loaf. I haven't made it again...almonds too strong and the bread is way too dense for me.

I've made this twice now. My almond butter had been lurking in my cupboard for ages, and it's toasted almond butter, rather dark.

The first loaf was good, and I sliced it crosswise, not to use for Sammie's, but just to have a slice or two in the afternoons with my tea.

For the second loaf I added about a tsp each of Splenda and cinnamon, along with a nice handful,of hemp hearts for a bit of extra fiber and crunch. Excellent!

This lasts me a long time, I keep it in the fridge, and I've frozen it as well, it freezes perfectly. For both loaves I've also added 1/4c of water. The dough was just really thick. A very odd, but wonderful recipe.

I made this a few weeks ago and decided it was terrible. Just too almondy and almost gritty. I was soooo disappointed. I sliced it very thinly and now it's all wrapped up in the freezer. I guess I am waiting till I have enough of a carb allowance to make a pb+j sandwich or something... very disappointing

I forgot about this bread. I love it. I think I need to make up a batter. Wonder how it would turn out if I mixed it with a batter for rolls from the BTF mix???

Using the blond almond flour (without husks)
I think it tastes better than the butter. It was from that
recipe that I came up with the onion/rye bread. It is delish.
I think the flour makes better bread.

[KtLass]

Ok, after reading all 10 pages and saving several recipes, I think I have it all together now...I need blanched almonds to make my flour to make my butter to make my bread!
PHEW!!!

I have been hooked on the one minute muffin for sandwiches and need a change! Thanks all for all the tips!

I agree Barbo! When I ran out of almond butter and decided to try making almond butter using the flour I had no idea it would work better for making this bread. I think it has a better texture than with almond butter and tastes better.

On the other hand, my DD likes me to use almond butter for the rolls I make.

[TeamRedrac]

What type of vinegar?

[rosethorns]

any vinegar will work.

[lterry913]

If it is too dense maybe whipping up the eggwhites and a couple extra, then folding in before baking would help lighten it up. Just be careful to spoon it into pan and not just pour it...it helps to keep the whites from breaking down.

So are you making almond butter out of your almond flour???? Sorry, I'm confused but I want to try the recipe.

Yes, it's in post #3 of this thread on the first page. I explain how I did it and posted pics.

[shmabby]

Question here -
first thank you all for these posts - they are great help

I made the bread with almond butter but before I go ahead and mail order 5 lbs of the almond flour could someone please point me to the recipe using the almond flour instead of butter.

I've been looking in the thread but I'm too lazy and I'm just not seeing it.

i want the almond bread recipe that uses the flour rather than the butter

thanks

[shmabby]
