• 0.25 cup Milk of choice (almond or coconut)
• 0.5 cup Tapioca flour
• 1 teaspoon Yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and milk.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined.

Step 5

Form the dough into a loaf shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and 1 tablespoon of honey, allowing it to sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 7

Add the tapioca flour and sesame seeds to the yeast mixture, stirring to form a thick paste.

Step 8

Spread this paste evenly over the top of the loaf using a spatula or your fingers to create the distinctive Dutch Crunch pattern.

Step 9

Allow the loaf to sit for an additional 10-15 minutes to let the topping set slightly.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crunchy.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
