Almond flour bread is delicious low-carb, gluten-free bread. It is also one of the simplest bread to make, as there is no kneading and rising time. The ingredients are simple; it's a yummy recipe to add to your collection. This bread is made to add a spread of choice or eat plain. It is not made for sandwich bread; it will rise more like Banana bread without moisture. It leans towards the drier side of breads but remains just as delicious. -------------------What is Gluten? Gluten is the protein found in four wheat products (grains) used to make most bread. It holds the bread together, helps it rise, and gives it the texture you commonly see in sandwich breads.Studies have shown gluten may cause difficulty in digestion. The great news is that we have many other options to enjoy tasty bread using alternative flour made without gluten. Almond flour is naturally gluten-free, made from ground, blanched almonds. A flour flour-like consistency is created by boiling almonds, grinding, and sifting. Enjoy!
