Instructions
Instructions are for 22 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
Mix eggs, sour cream, and cream cheese in a separate large bowl.
Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir until smooth.
Pour the mixture in a well-greased and paper-lined loaf pan about 9 x 5" (23 x 13 cm). Bake in the lower part of the oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Take the bread out of the oven, and remove it from the pan, and place on a rack to cool completely.
Serve the bread with butter and your favorite festive toppings.
Tip!
This bread tastes best fresh or toasted. Slice the bread you don't finish the same day as baking it and keep in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer where it keeps for at least a month.

Step 3 says to stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until smooth. It doesn't get smooth because there is so much of the dry ingredients. Hopefully it will still turn out well.

2 tbsps of ground clove seem a lot, is it a typo? I followed the recipe and my dough has a bitter after taste. Hopefully the baked bread will taste better.

Is 2 tbsp's correct? That does seem like a lot of cloves.

The recipe only uses 2T of the seasoning blend, so you will have some extra left over. You won't use the whole 2T of cloves in the recipe.

Flax seeds are quite healthy. They have a great omega profile and a ton of fiber.

So good! My favorite LCHF bread recipe! I make a "neutral" version by removing the mixture of spices, so it's perfect to replace bread for all occasions! Thank you :)

Dominant spice flavor is cloves. Tasty. Next time I might add a bit of cinnamon.

I made this perfect last night, although I didn't use a spice mix I used Onion and Garlic powder instead. Tastes lovely .BUT... I placed a plastic tub over the loaf overnight while it was still hot from the oven. So today it is moist. Is there a trying I can do to dry it out? I toasted a couple of slices and it was good.

Toasting will be the best option to dry it out. The tip section recommends slicing it and storing in the refrigerator or freezing what you will not consume in a week.

Is it possible to make this with non dairy sour cream (like made from coconut milk) and cream cheese (like made from cashew milk)? We have a dairy allergy in the family.

The recipe has not been tested with those ingredients, but I believe they would work. Let us know if you try it.

Is it ok to make the recipe without the anise seed and can I substitute ordinary orange peel for bitter orange peel? Thanks in advance

The flavor profile will be a little different with the changes you noted, but it would not impact the backing process. Let us know what you think about those changes.

Has anyone reduced the amount of cloves successfully yo avoid bitter aftertaste?? Curious if 0.5 or 1 tsp ground cloves would work.

What on earth is 1/8 of a tablespoon for the 5 person recipe??? I live on my own so don't want sdome thing for 22 people! Ha, ha! Can't we have a weight instead or at least a smaller spoon - teaspoons more accurate and more consistent on size all over the world than a tablespoon? I have no idea how big your tablespoon is either. Weird and confusing recipe. Sure it must taste nice but just looks like a very foreign recipe to me with such measurements.

If you scale a recipe and end up with unusual quantities, you can round up or down to get to a measurement that makes more sense.

Una, in the USA, 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 3 teaspoons (or 9 half teaspoons)
So you can safely use 1/2 tsp for 1/8 Tbsp.
I have calculated, using flour as reference for powder ingredients, that it would be about 1 gram.
Hope this is helping!28

Sorry for my mistake : I should have write "6 half teaspoons" not 9! So it would be a little more than 1/2 tsp.

I really liked this recipe. It tastes like a soft cake with a crust. I added hemp seeds and chia seeds. I did not use the spices. I will make again for sure!

Love this recipe thanks. I leave out the orange peel, (hate it), and the spices and make a regular loaf of bread out of it.
It tastes like sour dough bread! I add myself some active yeast to it to give that "yeasty" bread flavor. I also don't use coconut flour (allergic) and sub psyllium husk for that and use ground flax seed. I sprinkle black sesame seeds on the top before baking
and bake it about 40 mins.Reply: #31

On your wheel chart, while net-carbs on the wheel itself are green, the key shows them as being kind of peach.
I think it's time to let your web designer to go to lunch.

This recipe was delicious! I used tahini instead of the sesame seeds, reduced the amount of psyllium by about one third and omitted all the spices. (I was certain that I would dislike that combo of spices). I used a half teaspoon of almond extract instead. It turned very brown on the outside before the inside was cooked. So I sliced it up, put the slices on a cookie pan( Like zwieback) and turned the oven down to 250 to cook for another 40 minutes. It was lovely...one of the best keto breads ever! Very filling....very nice with peanut butter and butter. Definitely will be making this again! Next time I will try using vanilla instead of almond extract. JacquiC82 used garlic and onion powder.
that sounds delicious too39
