Ingredients

Bread
  • 3 large egg whites

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F / 190C electric or 340F / 170C fan.
  2. Combine the egg whites, almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder and water in a bowl and mix with a fork.
  3. Grease a 5 x 5 inch container and fill in the bread dough. Microwave for 3 minutes on high.

Notes

  • 4g net carbs per portion. Makes 4 servings. 32 croutons in total, 8 croutons per serve. 
  • Hands on time: 5 minutes. 
  • Storage: Air-tight container for up to 5 days.
  • Make sure you use psyllium husk powder, which is a very fine powder. If you only have whole psyllium husks (these look like little sticks), use 1.5 tsp.
  • Microwave timings: My microwave operates at 900 watts. If your microwave cooks at a lower power level, increase the time by 10 seconds or more. If it cooks at 1000W or higher, reduce the time by 10-20 seconds.
