• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 pinch salt

   Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a small 18x9cm loaf tin with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Beat the 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites for 2 minutes until fluffy and doubled in size.
3. 3
   In a separate bowl, stir together almond flour, psyllium husks, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.
4. 4
   Add the melted butter and warm water to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
5. 5
   Add the dry ingredients and blend until you have a smooth dough. Do not over-mix.
6. 6
   Fill the batter into the lined loaf tin and smooth the top.
7. 7
   Bake for approximately 45 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover the top with foil after 35 minutes if it browns too quickly.
8. 8
   Cool completely before slicing. The bread firms up as it cools.
