Carnivore Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 3 cups fat flour (completely crushed and sifted pork rinds)

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon oregano (optional, for a bit of herb flavor)

Wet Ingredients:

• 7 large eggs, divided

• 2 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional but adds a nice texture)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease it well.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds (fat flour), baking powder, baking soda, and optional oregano. Sift the mixture to ensure there are no lumps. Set aside.

3. Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate mixing bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer. This is important to create the airy structure that makes this bread rise.

4. Mix the Egg Yolks: In another bowl, combine 4 of the egg yolks with the cream cheese. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

5. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry fat flour mixture. Pour in the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture and gently stir until the fat flour is dampened. You should have a dough-like consistency.

6. Add Cheese (Optional): Stir the shredded mozzarella into the dough mixture. This step is optional but adds a nice cheesy texture and flavor.

7. Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the dough mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much; the goal is to keep as much air in the batter as possible.

8. Transfer to the Loaf Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the top and flatten it out evenly.

9. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour. Make sure to turn the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. The bread should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

10. Rest the Bread: Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. This resting time is crucial to help the bread set and make it easier to remove from the pan.

11. Flip and Slice: After it has cooled, carefully flip the bread out of the loaf pan. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

12. Serve: Slice the bread and toast it for a perfect carnivore-friendly treat. You can top it with butter, cheese, or any other carnivore-approved toppings!

Pro Tips:

• Pork Rind Quality: The finer you can crush the pork rinds, the better the texture of your bread. Consider pulsing them in a food processor to get a fine, siftable flour.

• Cheese Options: If you don’t want to use mozzarella, you could experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan.

• Resting Time: Don’t skip the resting time after baking; it allows the bread to firm up and makes it easier to slice.

This recipe is a game-changer for anyone on the carnivore diet who loves bread, and it’s definitely carnivore-approved! Enjoy the texture and flavor—you won’t even miss traditional bread!
