Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and sea salt until no lumps remain.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs vigorously for 1-2 minutes until they become slightly frothy. Stir in the melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a thick, uniform batter forms.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to prevent the melted butter from solidifying when mixed.
Don't skip the xanthan gum; it provides the structural 'chew' that replaces gluten in this recipe.
For a savory twist, add 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary or garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
Slice the entire loaf once cooled and freeze with parchment paper between slices for easy toasting later.
