Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup (200 g / 7.1 oz) bacon, diced
  • 1 ½ cups / 190 g (6.7 oz) fine almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) baking powder
  • 2 large pasteurized eggs, at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (90 g / 3.17 oz) grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • ⅓ cup (80 g / 2.82 oz) sour cream
  • Use room temperature eggs and sour cream. This helps the combine more easily and results in a lighter, more even texture.
  • Feel free to add other mix-ins! A tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, a teaspoon of garlic powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper would be delicious additions.
  • Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing. Almond flour bread is more delicate than traditional bread when warm, and cooling ensures clean, sturdy slices.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 300°F / 150°C.
  3. Grease a 9x5-inch (22. 5x12. 5 cm) nonstick loaf pan. 2.
  4. Place a medium skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the diced bacon and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. 3.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder until well combined. 4.
  7. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and sour cream together until smooth and uniform. 5.
  8. Pour the wet egg mixture into the dry flour mixture.
  9. Add the melted butter and stir until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. 6. Gently fold in the crispy bacon and grated parmesan cheese until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. 7. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
  10. Sprinkle with a little extra parmesan cheese for a delicious, golden crust. 8.
  11. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. 9.
  12. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This helps it set. 10. Carefully lift the loaf out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This is a crucial step to prevent it from crumbling! 11.
  13. Once cool, cut into 10 thick slices and serve.
  14. Don't overmix the batter.
  15. Stir only until the wet and dry are just combined. Overmixing almond flour can create a dense, heavy loaf.
