Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup pitted olives, sliced (kalamata or green olives)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), salt, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix. Then fold in the sliced olives evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer to Pan and Decorate: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle additional olives on top for decoration.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The bread is done when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If you don’t have xanthan gum, you can omit it, but the texture may be slightly less cohesive.
- Use either kalamata or green olives depending on your flavor preference; ensure they are pitted and sliced.
- The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- For a crisper crust, bake a few extra minutes but avoid drying out the bread.
- This bread is best served fresh or toasted lightly to enhance the olive and rosemary flavors.
