Carnivore Bread Recipe (Dairy-Free Option with Tallow)
This Carnivore Bread is a savory, protein-packed alternative to traditional bread, and it’s customizable for dairy-free preferences. You can easily swap butter for tallow to make it dairy-free while keeping it delicious and satisfying. Whether you’re following a strict carnivore or keto diet, this bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just on its own. Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (for dairy version) or replace with 1 1/2 cups of ground pork rinds for a dairy-free option
- 2 cups pork panko (or crushed pork rinds)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted (or use tallow for dairy-free version)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or tallow, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
2. Blend the ingredients:
In a large food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese (or ground pork rinds for dairy-free), pork panko, and melted butter (or tallow). Process everything together until you have a smooth, thick batter. The mixture should resemble a thick pancake batter.
3. Pour into the pan:
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
4. Bake:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and firm to the touch.
5. Let it cool:
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Letting it cool before slicing ensures cleaner slices.
6. Slice and toast:
Slice the bread into 22 half-inch slices. To enjoy, you can toast the slices. One of the best ways to do this is by air frying the slices at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness.
7. Serve:
Serve your Carnivore Bread as a side, for sandwiches, or on its own. Enjoy the crispy, satisfying texture!
Tips:
- Dairy-Free Option: For a completely dairy-free bread, use tallow instead of butter, and replace the cottage cheese with ground pork rinds or extra eggs.
- Storage: Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
- Flavor Boost: Add herbs or spices (like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme) to the batter for a savory twist.
Enjoy your homemade Carnivore Bread! It’s the perfect accompaniment to any carnivore meal or snack.
