Almond Bread - No Grains - No Flour - No Gluten - Low Carb

Submitted by DocT3900

"I love bread but I know how bad ANY grain products are for human health. The problem is I love to eat sandwiches. Your body turns grain products into sugar and the more refined the faster it happens. So what was I to do??? I had to find a way to get all that good stuff (the meats and veggies) into my mouth without flour, without grains, without gluten and without the adverse effects of sugar and refined grains. And so I did... I stumbled upon this recipe and thought it deserved a place here on Food.com. It's a bread made from "Almond Flour", it's easy to make and is really pretty good. If you want to make a sweet cake type version of this, just add some extra stevia to sweeten it and use your imagination for various flavors... But, as is, it's a great substitute for bread for those who are cutting grains and sugar out of our lives... I hope you enjoy. One more thing.. in this recipe it calls for "Almond Flour". You can make it yourself by pulsing raw almonds in your Vita Mix"

Ok, I am giving this Review because it is So Costly when making these "alternate breads". First, the quantity or size loaf is about 1 1/2" high, that's right - not large enough for any type of sandwich; Second, working with the Almond Butter is a nightmare and expensive when fails; Third, not a good alternated to gluten bread as it is in this recipe. This recipe would have been better as some sort of cracker. You know, put the dough between to pieces of parchment paper, roll it out and bake. This was an expensive FAIL bread recipe.
