Hazelnut Bread (Remake of V1.0)

About 4 years ago, I published a video on Keto Hazelnut Bread. It is one of the best nut breads, out beating almond bread which is notorious for being dense. This hazelnut bread is light, soft and fluffy. As many of you may not be aware of this recipe, I decided to do a remake of it here and I published a separate video to show you how to grind the hazelnuts. Hazelnuts have a sweet and nutty flavor with a crunchy texture. Overall, hazelnuts offer healthy fats, fiber, protein, essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. As hazelnut flour is not easily available, we can grind it with a seed, nut, multi grinder or a powerful food processor. Unlike walnut which has a high fat content, we need to add coconut flour to help to absorb the excess fats during grinding, hazelnut is a little easier to grind as it has less fat content. However, hazelnut is much harder in texture, so we need a powerful grinder. Similar to walnuts, after grinding the texture is coarse like “meal” (not flour) and there will still be chunks but it’s absolutely fine as they add crunch to the crunch.

1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale

2. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.

3. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until well combined.

4. Add all the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed. The dough is quite soft.

5. Transfer the dough into a greased 8x4" loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

6. Spread evenly but always leave the top as round as possible so that the bread will look taller.

7. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and seeds and press down gently to ensure that they will stick to the dough.

8. Bake at the lowest rack for 60 minutes. It is done when the internal temperature is 200 F or 93 C.

9. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

10. The bread can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry weather. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier for up to a week and freeze for months.

Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

Ground Hazelnuts = 300 g (2 1/2 cups) (Watch this video on how to grind the hazelnuts)

Whole Psyllium husk = 27 g (3 tbsp) (Must be ground until half its original volume, then weigh it. If using pre-ground psyllium powder, only 1 to 2 tsp is required. Watch this video on how to grind the psyllium husk)

Baking powder = 12 g / 3 tsp

Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp

WET INGREDIENTS

Egg Whites = 6 large (230 g) OR 3 large whole eggs OR 38 g egg white powder + 210 ml room temperature water

(Note: The protein from egg whites helps to boost the rise of the bread while the fat from egg yolks hinders the rise. Hence, it's highly recommended to use egg whites.)

Apple cider vinegar = 45 g (3 tbsp)

Hot or boiling water = 170 ml (2/3 cup + 1 tbsp)
