# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 1/4 cup coconut flour
03 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

11 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
12 - 1/4 cup olive oil
→ Finishing
13 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, and rosemary until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until blended, then add almond milk and olive oil, mixing until smooth and combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect the bread's texture.
05 - Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the surface.
06 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 - Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Slice and serve.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The crust gets this incredible cheesy crisp while staying soft inside, like real bread actually behaves
- It toasts up beautifully and holds together enough for sandwiches, which felt impossible on keto until now
02 -
- Overmixing is the enemy here, just fold until you don't see dry streaks and walk away
- The bread needs the full cooling time or the center will seem underbaked even when it's perfectly done
03 -
- Let the eggs come to room temperature before mixing, as cold eggs can cause the olive oil to seize up slightly
- If the top is browning too quickly before the center is done, tent it loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes
