Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare all of the ingredients together
  • Using your hand blender or a stand mixer, mix all of the eggs until fluffy.
  • Add all other ingredients and fully mix into one dough. This might still be a bit liquid but psyllium will slowly starts working its way into it.
  • Place the bowl into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. In this time the psyllium will slowly thicken the whole dough and it will be much easier to work with later on.
  • Take the bowl out of the fridge and check the thickness. It has to be thick enough for you to be able to form a loaf. If you do feel, the dough is still pretty soft, sprinkle it with some additional coconut flour and mix fully in.
  • Place a parchment paper on the kitchen counter and sightly spray it with oil. Also spray both of your hand with oil and start shaping the loaf. Once you are happy with the shape, prepare the steamer. If you do not own the steamer, that is not a problem. Take the biggest pot you have and add a bit of water on the bottom. Let it boil and add a steaming stand. You can also use also a trivet from your instant Pot or any which fits into the pot. Add parchment paper on top of it and spray it with oil. Slowly add the bread dumpling loaf, cover the lid and let it cook or steamed for 20 minutes. 
  • Once the loaf is steamed, gently remove the bread from the steamer and cut it into the bread-like slices using a thread or twine. Serve hot with your dish.

Notes

  • Cutting – To slice our steamed bread, use twine or thread. Place it underneath the dumpling and wrap it around the top and across as if you will tighten it. Pull it tight, cutting the thick slice and continue with other slices the same way. 
  • Coconut Flour – Use coconut flour to thicken the dough to your liking. One tablespoon is enough in our case, but if you still feel that the dough is not able to form into a log, add half or one spoon of coconut flour. Learn more about almond flour vs. coconut flour.
  • Oil – Spray your hand with either oil or water to form the dough. This will prevent the dough from sticking into your hands. Also spray the bottom of the parchment paper to prevent the bread dumpling from sticking to the paper while steaming.
  • Cover – Once the loaf is steamed, spray it lightly with oil and cover it with a cloth or aluminum foil to prevent drying.
