Paleo Bread/Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour

I jumped at the chance to test out a bread recipe for Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour when they asked for testers. I am not nor have ever been a huge bread lover….and that’s one of the reasons I’ve been a-o-k with giving up breads etc. when I gave up grains. However, there are definitely times when I do miss that little bit of bread whether it be toast with my drippy yolks in the morning or for dabbing in a bit of olive oil and red wine vinegar…..or even french toast! It’s not often that I crave these things but it is nice to know that when that craving hits, I can whip up a bread recipe that won’t wreak havoc on my system.

Otto’s Cassava flour is 100% Yuca root…..and is made from just that and water. Here’s a bit more info:

*A Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, AND Nut-Free flour with the taste and texture of wheat! Otto’s Cassava Flour subs 1:1 in many of your favorite recipes, without any tedious alterations.

*Also known as yuca, cassava is a delicious root vegetable that becomes the perfect alternative for wheat when dried and ground using our proprietary preparation (say THAT 5 times fast!)

*Another product of Cassava is tapioca, which is the bleached and extracted starch. Otto’s Cassava Flour, on the other hand, is a whole food; the entire root, minus the peel.

*You no longer have to sacrifice taste or texture for your health. Missing Grandma’s chocolate cake? Not anymore. Meet the next generation in Grain-free baking.

I’ve made several recipes using their flour and have been extremely pleased ….anything from pizza crusts, tortillas, brownies (which I will be posting soon!) and pancakes. 

If you’ve been craving bread but don’t want the grains or even paleo breads made with nut flours, try this out! It’s incredible. I added a bit more rosemary because I thought rosemary bread sounded so good ….and it was amazing! But next time I think I’ll stick to a more traditional bread so I can smear some almond butter and jelly on it. Or maybe make a cinnamon raisin bread…….who knows!? Just give it a try and definitely add your own twist if you wish Recipe Card

1st bowl

1. 1/4 cup very warm water (to counterbalance the cold egg and maple syrup.)

5. 1 tablespoon - active dry yeast

2nd bowl

1. 4 egg whites

3rd bowl

2. 1 teaspoon Salt (we prefer Redmond Real Salt)
3. 1 teaspoon rosemary, crushed a bit.

Instructions

1. In the first bowl, combine the water, oil, maple syrup, egg yolks, and yeast. Whisk together and set aside to bloom/proof in a warm area.
2. In the second bowl beat the egg whites with a hand blender or a kitchen aid until soft peaks form.
3. In third bowl, combine cassava flour, salt and rosemary.
4. Alternate adding in the cassava flour mixture and the yeast mixture to the beaten egg whites to avoid clumps.
5. Pour batter into a greased metal loaf pan (preferably the narrowest one you have.) and let it rise for 30-40 minutes.
6. Place in oven set to 400 degrees for aproximately 30 minutes or until top is nice and brown
