Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Homemade garlic bread

The sandwich bread dough, but packed with sautéed garlic.

Rico's note: When someone drops by unannounced, this is the one to make; the smell of roasting garlic takes care of half the dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups almond flour (150 g / 5½ oz)
  • 1 cup brown rice flour (120 g / 4 oz)
  • ½ cup sweet cassava starch, polvilho doce (60 g / 2 oz)
  • 3 tbsp psyllium husk powder (30 g / 1 oz)
  • 1 tsp salt (6 g)
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast (10 g)
  • 2 tsp sugar (8 g) — no added sugar: 1 tbsp erythritol (10 g)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (5 g)
  • 3 large eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
  • 1 cup warm water (240 g / 8½ oz)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (20 g / ¾ oz)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (28 g / 1 oz)
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano (3 g)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water and add the yeast. Let it foam for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. In a small skillet, briefly sauté the minced garlic in the 2 tbsp olive oil, just until fragrant, without letting it brown. Let cool.
