Recipe Ingredients
Almond Flour- adds texture and ambrosial flavor, and is endeared by those following bakery foodstuffs. Almond flour is low in carbohydrates and high in fat, so its presence in this recipe, made it more appropriate for those who are on a keto diet.
Coconut Flour- Cocoa flour is naturally rich in protein and fiber which makes it ideal for baked desserts that are healthy, such as this one. The addition of about ½ cup of Coconut flour makes the bread more palatable than before.
Tapioca Starch- It does the job of thickening in this whole setup. About one tbs corn starch is enough to absorb water and thicken the mixture. You can also constitute the starch with potato starch.
Sugar- Besides its role as a sweetener, it also plays the role of coloring and bulking agent in this recipe. You can use a one-to-one substitution of honey for sugar in this bread.
Yeast- a key ingredient that aids the fermentation process and makes the bread more palatable. Bread baked with yeast always appears fluffier and tougher than those made with just baking powder. So make sure not to ignore its presence.
Warm Milk- Inclusion of two cups of warm milk in this recipe helps in two ways; butter needs to be melted or sugar needs to be dissolved. Moreover, it makes the bread more nutritious.
Butter- Encompass the recipe with a light and tender texture and causes your cake to rise.
