Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a standard-sized loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the unflavored whey protein isolate, almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.
- In a separate dish, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- In a microwave-safe container, warm the almond milk and water for about 30 seconds until it’s lukewarm. To this mixture, add the apple cider vinegar.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients until well combined.
- Pour in the almond milk, water, and apple cider vinegar mixture. Stir until you have a thick, dough-like consistency.
- Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the bread is firm and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift it out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the keto PSMF bread has cooled, slice it into 12 servings or adjust the thickness to your preference.
