Almond and orange bread

Almond and orange bread is a delightful and aromatic treat that combines the nutty flavor of almonds with the refreshing zest of oranges. This recipe is simple yet delicious, and it's perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even a light dessert. With just a few ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create a homemade bread that’s sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

3 egg whites
100g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup almonds
60g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Whip Egg Whites: In a large, clean mixing bowl, whisk the 3 egg whites until they form soft peaks. You can use an electric mixer on medium-high speed for this process.
3. Add Sugar: Gradually add the 1/2 cup of sugar to the egg whites, continuing to whisk until you achieve stiff peaks.
4. Incorporate Orange Zest and Almonds: Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of orange zest and 1/2 cup of finely chopped or ground almonds. Ensure they are evenly distributed without deflating the whipped egg whites.
5. Fold in Flour: Sift the 3/4 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and carefully fold it into the egg white mixture. Use a spatula to fold gently, maintaining as much air in the mixture as possible.
6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Slice the almond and orange bread once it has cooled completely. Enjoy as a snack or dessert, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a light glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice.

Tips:

- Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for better volume when beating.

- Use freshly grated orange zest for a more vibrant and fragrant flavor.

- Be careful not to over-mix the batter; over-mixing can result in a dense texture.

- Consider toasting the almonds lightly before adding them to the mixture to enhance their flavor.

- When folding the flour into the mixture, use a gentle motion to keep the batter light and airy.

There you have it - a delightful almond and orange bread that’s easy to make and incredibly satisfying. With its unique combination of flavors and simple ingredients, this recipe is a must-try for anyone who enjoys homemade baked goods. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or toasted later, this bread is sure to become a favorite in your household. Happy baking!
