Description
This fragrant, herb-studded bread transforms simple almond flour into something absolutely irresistible—with briny olives and earthy rosemary creating a Mediterranean masterpiece that’s both low-carb and deeply satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 cup pitted olives, sliced (kalamata or green olives)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), salt, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl until completely combined and no lumps remain.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add the olive oil and water, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a thick, cohesive batter—it should hold together without being too sticky.
- Fold in the chopped rosemary and sliced olives gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula and creating a slight dome shape in the center for even rising.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting out using the parchment overhang, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing.
