INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour gives the bread its structure & mild nutty flavor while keeping it low in carbs. Use fine almond flour to provide the perfect texture & taste. Avoid almond meal, which makes the loaf too dense.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour absorbs moisture & balances the texture of the almond flour. A small amount goes a long way, helping the bread hold together. It also adds a subtle sweetness without extra carbs.
BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder helps the loaf rise & stays fluffy without yeast. This ingredient ensures a soft, light texture in every slice.
SALT:
- Salt enhances the overall taste & stabilize the indulgence of the cheese & butter. Use fine sea salt for even distribution.
GARLIC POWDER:
- It provides a savory taste & deepens the cheesy flavor. It’s optional, but it makes the loaf more aromatic. You can also use onion powder instead.
EGGS:
- Eggs act as a binder & help the loaf rise naturally. They add moisture, structure, & lightness to the bread.
UNSALTED:
- It provides richness & a moist crumb. It gives the loaf that classic buttery taste & helps it brown beautifully. Melt & cool it slightly before mixing.
SOUR CREAM:
- Sour cream makes the bread soft & tender. It balances the flavors & adds a slight tang that complements the cheddar. This also keeps the loaf from drying out.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese gives a sharp, bold flavor & golden crust on top. It melts perfectly, creating a chewy & satisfying bite.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Parmesan cheese adds depth & a slightly nutty flavor. It enhances the savory quality of the loaf & gives it a crisp finish. A small amount makes a big difference.

Will we prepare a non-dairy loaf?

Why does the loaf sink from the center?
- The loaf might not get baked properly, so we always have to monitor it with a toothpick before taking it out.
