This bread is really easy to make. It doesn't contain yeast so there is no resting time. It is more like making cake really. I make a loaf every night. It is a very adaptable recipe. You can add salt, pepper, herbs, or grated cheese for a savoury version or apple, banana or raisins for a sweet version.
Basic everyday SCD Bread
60g butter, melted
3 eggs (I use duck's eggs, I find the bread rises really well, but large or extra-large hens eggs work fine)
1 tablespoon honey
280g ground almonds
1 pinch baking soda
Put your melted butter into a good-sized bowl, add the 3 eggs and whip them together with a fork until they are nice and yellow and well mixed. Add the honey and give it a quick stir. Then add the ground almonds and baking soda and mix well. You can use an electric mixer for this but I just use a tablespoon, it comes together very easily and doesn't need to be mixed for too long.
When it is well-mixed, and looks a bit like thick yellow porridge, turn it into a loaf tin. I line mine with parchment paper as the tin is ancient and looking a bit rusty! But if you have a nice new tin you can just grease it with butter. Smooth the top of the bread. Bake for one hour at low temperature, 150-160 C, Gas mark 2 or 3. I usually bake it at Gas 3 for the first 45 minutes and then turn it down to Gas 2 for the last 15 minutes. You need to watch it in the last 15 minutes as the top might burn so if it's looking a bit dark, cover it with foil.
After an hour, take it out and cool it on a wire rack. It is totally delicious hot and smothered in butter! It toasts well too!
