Ingredients

Servings

250 g almond flour
40 g psyllium husk powder — if you only have whole husk, blitz it first
10 g baking powder — 2 teaspoons
6 g salt — 1 teaspoon
150 g eggs — 3 large
20 g apple cider vinegar — 1½ tablespoons
30 g olive oil
250 g water — very hot, just off the boil
10 g sesame seeds — for the crust, optional

Method

Heat the oven to 175 °C (fan) and line a loaf tin of about 25 × 11 cm with baking paper.
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, psyllium, baking powder and salt thoroughly (psyllium clumps easily as soon as it gets wet).
Add the eggs, vinegar and oil and stir with a wooden spoon. The hot water goes in last; then work the dough for a minute. It looks wet at first but firms up within seconds as the psyllium soaks up the water.
With wet hands, shape the dough into a loaf, set it in the tin and scatter the sesame seeds over the top. Score it once along its length with a knife.
Bake for 55–60 minutes. To check it is done, tap the underside: it should sound hollow.
Before slicing, let it cool completely on a rack, since the crumb stays damp while it is warm. It keeps for 4 days in the fridge; sliced, it also freezes well.

Mushroom and cheddar omelette
Mushrooms sautéed in butter, with cheddar melting inside the omelette. Keep the heat high, because on a low one the mushrooms release their water and stew instead of browning.
