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.

Recipe FAQs

What should I do to prevent the bread from being gummy?

You need to ensure that the blend of flours to starches is in balance.

How would I know when the dough is perfectly ready?

Too much yeast can cause the dough to fall down and lose its consistent shape. So, it is never recommended to make extra addition of it.

  1. Wow, please re-post if you find a way to do it with any flour that is gluten-free besides almond flour. Almonds are so high in oxalates that it is a little dangerous to eat things that have too much almond flour in it because it’s so concentrated. I only use recipes with almond flour if it’s like a quarter cup or a half a cup for a very large amount. Would love to try this otherwise!

  2. Hey, Corrie, thanks for posting this recipe! Haven't made it yet, but after reading the other posts, would it be helpful to cover the bread with foil while cooking. Artisan oven bread steams in the cast iron pot with the cover on. Just wondering. Other instant pot recipes call for a cover too. What do you think?

    1. Hi Mary,
      Thank you for you suggestion, it’s not necessary but I do think it’s a great idea if you want to do it 🙂

    1. I am not seeing that..there should be a comma between milk and yeast in the directions. no melted yeast seen as you mentioned.

  3. Recipe should be altered to either remove water from the ingredient list or specify that the water is for the steam pot only.

          1. step 3 does not have any instruction for putting water in the pot at all nor does it say anywhere.....as a newbie instant pot user I definitely need to know these things! I really want to try this bread and don't want to waste time or money- to bake things in my pot do they always need extra water? If you did update the instructions its not there....

  4. Can you use just Almond flour for the gluten free flour? If so, what would be the quantity? What about changes to use coconut flour instead? Wanting a low carb gluten free option to test out

    1. If we replace the almond flour with gluten-free flour, than the ratio of other ingredients like eggs etc. must also be changed. I will upload the recipe of your choice at some other time.

      1. I too need to sub out the almond flour for all-purpose gluten-free (pesky nut allergies, but the coconut flour is safe). But I’m not seeing the updated ingredient list. Did I just happen to miss it?

          1. I'm still not clear on how to sub out the almond flour. Please post an amended recipe.

        1. Help please I too followed the directions to the "T" and the recipe didn't come out it was gummy and soup like. Was wondering if I could take out the 1/2 water in the recipe that goes into the bread? Any suggestions for maybe why this happened? Also my milk temperature was 110 degrees so it all should have turned out okay.

  5. My bread did not get browned on top and just looked kinda wet... assuming this is from the steam. How did your brown? I steamed for 70 minutes

    1. I haven’t made this yet, but I would assume you could put it in the oven for a few min to brown it on top.

      1. I don’t think there is any need to brown the bread in oven. Bread is perfectly cooked in instant pot.
