Clean Almond Loaf Bread
My heart goes out to anyone who has to give up bread… truly. It is one of the joys of the dinner table. And nothing smells better than a fresh loaf cooking. But in an effort to eat a balanced diet, we switch up a lot of the grains we eat rather than relying on a single ingredient to make up a significant portion of our diet. I recognize that everyone doesn’t have that luxury. I have a dear friend who has Celiac – who loves food – but whose meals are a constant battle. We also have a family friend with a child who is completely intolerant of grains.
I have had those two people percolating in the back of my head for a while and thought I would try my hand at a gluten-free and clean almond loaf bread. I wanted a bread I would actually WANT to eat as a person who can eat whatever I want (within reason!)
Gluten Free Loaf Bread
My husband and kids love this bread. It is in regular rotation on our Saturday morning late breakfast. It is super tasty with a nice smear of my dad’s peach jam or my kids’ favorite strawberry. The taste is fresh and bright. And the texture is hearty but tender. We usually double it and make two loaves so we can grab a slice with a piece of fruit for breakfast during the week.
I will be honest, I have always been a little worried about the whole concept of gluten free baking. But this bread was much more like quick bread – simple and delicious.
