How to Make It
Step 1
Add the ground almonds, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, erythritol, instant yeast, xanthan gum and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined. You may omit or increase the quantity of sweetener as desired to suit your tastes or use your preferred low carb granulated sweetener. Please adjust your macros to account for any changes made.
Step 2
Crack the egg into the mixing bowl. Add the apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Beat the wet and dry ingredients together well to combine. You should have a thick, crumbly consistency. Add the warm water to the bowl, drizzling in a little at a time and beating the mixture together as you go. Continue to add the water until a dough-like consistency has formed. Set the dough to one side to rest for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Knead the dough with your hands, forming into a ball. Turn the dough out onto the lined oven tray. Use your hands to mold the dough into a French baguette shape, roughly 3 inches wide and about 2.5 inches deep. Wet your hands with warm water and smooth the baguette all over, concealing any cracks.
Step 4
Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked through and golden brown all over. The baguette should be soft and dense in the center and slightly risen all over. Set aside to cool. The baguette will provide 10 slices, perfect for toasting.
