Quick Description
This soft, fluffy bread has a light texture and a slightly sweet flavor, thanks to the condensed milk. It’s perfect as a snack or for making sandwiches. In this version, we’ve made a few swaps to make it high in protein and low in carbs, without compromising on the fluffiness!

Servings & Timing

  • Servings: 10–12 slices
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Rise Time: 1.5–2 hours
  • Bake Time: 25–30 minutes
  • Total Time: ~3 hours (including rise time)

Ingredients List

For the bread dough:

  • 2 cups almond flour (low-carb flour base)
  • 1/4 cup whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened condensed milk (you can find low-carb versions or make your own)
  • 1/4 cup warm water (for activating the yeast)
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened (adds richness)
  • 2 large eggs (for protein and structure)
  • 1/4 cup erythritol (or other low-carb sweeteners)
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast (for rising)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for flavor)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and erythritol. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy and bubbly.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, and salt. Whisk until everything is well mixed.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened butter, and condensed milk.
  4. Form the dough: Add the activated yeast mixture and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until you form a dough. It will be slightly sticky.
  5. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for 5–7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
  6. Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1.5–2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  7. Shape the dough: Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then shape it into a loaf by gently rolling it and placing it into a greased loaf pan.
  8. Second rise: Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30–45 minutes, until it has puffed up.
  9. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 25–30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and slice: Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

This fluffy bread is perfect for making sandwiches, toasting, or simply enjoying with a pat of butter. It can also be paired with your favorite low-carb spreads, or served as a side with soups and salads.

Storage

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.

Tips & Variations

  • Flavored bread: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or lemon zest to the dough for a different flavor profile.
  • Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free condensed milk and swap butter for coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Add-ins: You can stir in some chopped nuts, seeds, or dried herbs into the dough for extra texture and flavor.
