Cooking Tips

Here are some pointers to ensure your Keto Cheesy Bread turns out perfectly every time:

• Use blanched almond flour for a lighter texture and color. Natural almond flour can make the bread dense and gritty.
• Sift the almond flour before using to remove any clumps and help incorporate the ingredients smoothly.
• Mix in any add-ins like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc gently to distribute evenly without overmixing.
• Let the dough rest for at least 15-20 minutes before baking. This allows the starches in the almond flour to hydrate for better rise.
• Grease the loaf pan well with butter or oil spray. The batter is quite thick and can stick.
• Bake at 325F for a more even rise and golden crust. The lower temp prevents the exterior overbaking before the inside is done.
• Tent with foil halfway through baking if the top is browning too quickly. This allows the inside to finish cooking.
• Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean when fully baked.
• Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture. The loaf continues to firm up as it cools.
• Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Follow these tips and you’ll be able to achieve the perfect loaf of Keto Cheesy Bread every time! Let me know if you have any other questions.
