Almond Bread Recipe


Almond Bread Recipe

3 egg whites
½ cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup whole un-blanched almonds

Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gradually beat in the sugar. Fold in the flour and almonds. Spoon into a greased 1 kg/ 2 lb (9 X 5 X 3 inch) loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated moderate oven (180 C / 350 F, Gas Mark 4) for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan, then wrap in foil and keep for 1 to 2 days before serving.

To serve, cut into wafer-thin slices and place on a baking sheet. Dry out in a preheated cool oven (150 C/ 300 F, Gas Mark 2) for 45 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
