Sometimes recipes are born of a touching life story. Sometimes they’re the result of a sticky, albeit entertaining, situation. Sometimes they come after an instantaneous moment of inspiration. Sometimes they’re gifted in the form of a stroke of complete dumb luck. Sometimes they’re guided by the favorite dish of a loved one.
And sometimes you just want a mother f***in slice of bread.
This one happens to be the latter.
You guys know that I have nothing against bread as a general population. Really, anything that can transport butter from my plate to my mouth is a friend of mine. But recently, C n I have just been CRAVING toast for breakfast and TBH eating carbs topped with a little bit of fat and a lot more carbs during the morning is a real recipe for disaster for the rest of my day.
So for the sake of the general public, this keto n paleo bread was created. The bread is grain-free, gluten-free, and is shockingly moist (SORRY I CAN’T STOP USING THIS WORD I’VE TRIED). The first time I baked it, I was literally APPALLED because it provided such a rise (n such a bitch of an oven cleanup job—thx bread!). It has the real-life texture of a bread, which means you can actually slice it instead of weeping as you watch it crumble into a million pieces the moment your knife hits the loaf. (This has never happened in our kitchen.)
When you need to pack a serious fat punch in the morning, what’s easier than grabbing bread from the fridge, popping a slicarooski in the toaster, and dousing it with peanut butter upon completion? Nothing. Nothing is easier. In particular, cleansing your oven of burnt af keto bread dough is not easier.
So without further ado, for your consumption pleasure, I give to you . . . . bread.
