Favorite SCD Legal Sandwich Bread

Description

One of my most trusted recipes, this is our family’s Favorite SCD Legal Sandwich Bread!  I have made this recipe countless times and each time it creates a delicious loaf perfect for lunchbox sandwiches, French toast, avocado toast and more!


Ingredients

Scale

4 eggs

1/2 cup butternut squash- cooked and mashed (can substitute cooked acorn squash or pumpkin)

1/2 cup cashew butter (can substitute almond or any other nut butter or tahini)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 cup almond flour

3 tbsp coconut flour (or substitute 3/4 cups additional almond flour)

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/41/2 tsp salt (I use the lesser amount if the nut butter is salted)


Instructions

To Roast the Squash:

1. Cut the squash down the middle lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a spoon. 

2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up.  Place squash halves cut side down on the pan.

3. Roast for 30-45 minutes until the flesh is soft and easily pierced with a fork.  (The time will depend on how large the squash is)

4. If desired, measure out 1/2 cup portions and freeze unused portions for more bread baking!  Or use the remaining squash for Avocado Brownie Bites or Butternut Squash Lentil Pasta.

 

For the Bread: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line (at least) the bottom of an 8 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper. 

2. Add the eggs, cooked and mashed squash, nut butter, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and honey to a food processor and combine until smooth.

3. Add the remaining ingredients, almond flour, coconut flour, salt and baking soda and process for 20-30 seconds until combined.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.  You will know its done when it is firm to the touch in the middle.  The bread will continue to firm up as it cools.  **If the top starts to get too brown, loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil.

5. Cool for 20 minutes on the counter before removing from the pan.  Run a knife along the sides of the pan to release the bread.  Continue to allow the bread to cool completely on a rack.  

6. Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator.  

Notes

* Please read the post for suggestions on variations.  This recipe is VERY forgiving and you can substitute many of the ingredients (if necessary for allergies, etc) with outstanding results!  

* To reheat (if desired) simply slice and pop in the toaster. 

* Make a double batch and freeze for later use.  This bread freezes beautifully.
