Get to know the ingredients

Almond flour

Pulse the almond flour with the other dry ingredients before adding melted butter to form a crumbly mixture.

Egg whites

Use room temperature egg whites, beating them separately before adding half to the food processor.

Butter

Measure the butter solid and melt before pulsing it into the dry ingredients, scraping down the processor as needed.

How to make it

0 of 8 steps complete

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Line a small-medium loaf pan (this is the ideal size) with parchment paper, with extra hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, Besti, xanthan gum, and sea salt in a large food processor. Pulse until combined.
Add the melted butter. Pulse, scraping down the sides as needed, until crumbly.
In a very large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar (if using), until stiff peaks form. Make sure the bowl is large enough because the whites will expand a lot.
Add 1/2 of the stiff egg whites to the food processor. Pulse a few times until just combined. Do not over-mix!
Carefully transfer the mixture from the food processor into the bowl with the egg whites, and gently fold until no streaks remain. Do not stir. Fold gently to keep the mixture as fluffy as possible.
Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan and smooth the top. Push the batter toward the center a bit to round the top.
Bake for about 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Tent the top with aluminum foil and bake for another 30-45 minutes, until the top is firm and does not make a squishy sound when pressed. Internal temperature should be 200 degrees. Cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing.

The last little job

Check the center

Bake until firm on top with a 200 degree internal temperature, then cool completely before slicing.

A little more help as you go

Leave parchment overhang

Line the loaf pan with extra parchment hanging over the sides to help lift the cooled loaf out.

Tent once golden

Cover the golden top loosely with foil after the first baking stage before continuing until the center is ready.

A few questions you might have

How stiff should the egg whites be?

Beat until stiff peaks form before adding half to the food processor, leaving the rest for gentle folding.

Can I stir the final batter?

Fold gently instead of stirring, keeping as much air as possible until no white streaks remain.

Why does the loaf get foil partway through?

The directions tent the already golden top before continuing the longer bake until the loaf is firm inside.

When can I slice the bread?

Cool it completely before removing it from the pan and slicing, as directed at the end of baking.

Is the sweetener required?

The ingredient list allows another sweetener or omitting it, before the dry ingredients are pulsed together.
