Ingredients
- 250 g Almond flour
- 30 g Coconut flour
- 20 g Psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 100 g Cream cheese
- 200 g Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 30 g Butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg yolk (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp Heavy cream (for glaze)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and combined.
Step 4
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Crack in the eggs and pour in the melted butter. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until a dough forms. Knead the dough gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each portion into a long rope about 30 cm (12 inches) in length.
Step 6
Place the three dough ropes side by side on the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the top ends together, then braid the ropes by alternately crossing them over each other. Pinch the bottom ends together to seal the braid.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream to create the glaze. Brush the glaze generously over the braided dough to give it a shiny, golden finish.
Step 8
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your low-carb Swiss Zopf bread as a side dish, for sandwiches, or simply on its own!
