Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line pan with parchment and oil lightly.

Tip: Almond flour sticks easily; double protection is needed.
2 ✓

Separate eggs. Whip whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

Tip: The foam provides the structure in the absence of gluten.
3 ✓

Mix yolks with oil, almond flour, baking powder, and spices to form a dense crumbly mix.

Tip: Don't worry if it looks thick; the whites will loosen it.
4 ✓

Gently fold whites into the almond mixture in batches. Keep as much air as possible.

Tip: Overmixing leads to flat bread.
5 ✓

Spread into pan. Dimple with fingers and drizzle with olive oil.

Tip: Classic focaccia look.
6 ✓

Bake 20-25 mins until golden.

Tip: Almond flour browns faster than wheat.
7 ✓

Cool on rack for 15 mins.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it collapse?
Almond flour breads sink slightly, but major collapse means overbeaten whites or removing from the oven too fast.
Can I use almond meal?
Almond flour (blanched) is finer. Almond meal includes skins and is heavier, resulting in a denser bread.

  • 1 packet (2 1/2 tsp) Baking Powder
