Carnivore Egg White Bread. Zero carbs!
Ingredients:
- 6 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup melted butter or ghee (or you can use olive oil if preferred)
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize the egg whites)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (optional, helps with texture, but not necessary for carb-free bread)
- Optional: A pinch of ground black pepper or herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for added flavor
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Whip the egg whites: In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer to make this process easier.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or ghee) and any optional spices or herbs you’d like to use.
-
Combine: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the melted butter mixture. Do this slowly to avoid deflating the egg whites.
-
Add the baking soda: If you’re using baking soda, fold it in carefully, ensuring everything is mixed evenly.
-
Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 20-30 minutes: Bake until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool down: Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- This bread can be a little spongy due to the egg whites, but it will work great for sandwiches, toasts, or even as a low-carb substitute for regular bread.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
This bread has virtually no carbs, with the main ingredients being egg whites and butter, making it perfect for a carnivore or keto diet! Enjoy!
