Step 1

Mix the sugar, water and yeast together in a small bowl to bloom the yeast. Let the yeast dissolve and become bubbly. This will take 5-10 minutes ( this is how you activate the yeast and make sure it is still "good". It should go from looking like coffee with cream to expanding and getting bubbly like this image.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl thoroughly mix all of the dry ingredients except the yeast and sugar.  (gluten, almond flour, salt & baking powder.)

Step 3

Add the water/yeast mixture and oil to the dry ingredients and mix into a dough.

Step 4

Knead for about 1 to 2 minutes making sure that all of the ingredients are evenly combined. Note: if you knead the dough for too long it will get rubbery and you need to stop.

Step 5

Put the dough in an oiled bread pan and set in warm (100 degree Fahrenheit) oven for about 25 - 40 minutes, to allow the dough to rise. I do this in the toaster oven. The dough should rise above the pan.

Step 6

Without punching the dough down, place in a pre-heated 350 F oven and cook for 35 to 45 minutes. If you don't have a toaster oven and are using a big oven, remove bread while you are pre-heating so that it doesnt sink. See post if you need clarification.

Step 7

Wait until this bread is completely cool to slice it. Store in a zipper bag in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
