Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour (Use fine, high-quality almond flour for the best results.)
- 1/2 cup Coconut Flour (Can substitute with another low-carb flour but taste and texture will vary.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Ensure it’s fresh for proper rise.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Use quality sea salt for best results.)
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs (Room temperature eggs are recommended for better mixing.)
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Can also use avocado oil for a lighter taste.)
- 1 cup Warm Water (Should be warm, not boiling.)
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (Essential for activating the baking soda.)
Others
- 1 sheet Parchment Paper (For lining your baking tray.)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature by the time your dough is ready to bake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and ensures no lumps in the flour mixture.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy for better aeration. Then add olive oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar and mix until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the mixture is fully incorporated and forms a dough.
- Shape the Baguettes: Divide the dough evenly into three portions. Shape each portion into a baguette approximately 12 inches long, ensuring even width and length for uniform baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the shaped baguettes on it, spaced apart to allow for slight expansion.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the baguettes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the baguettes from the oven and transfer them onto a wire rack. Let them cool completely before slicing to retain their structure and texture.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs helps the batter blend better and improves texture.
- Ensure baking soda is fresh for an effective rise.
- The bread is best stored in an airtight container and can be refrigerated to prolong freshness.
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the baguettes with olive oil before baking.
- Substituting with other low-carb flours may change the texture and flavor.
