The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. There's no need for complicated techniques or obscure ingredients. Everything is readily available, and the process itself is surprisingly straightforward. The texture is dense, perfect for hearty slices of toast, allowing for creative topping combinations.

Step-by-step

• Preheat your oven to 180C/355F
• Line a small loaf tin (we used an 8x6" tin - if you have a larger tin, double the recipe or use 1 and 1/2 times the ingredients) with baking paper and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, mix your eggs with your butter/coconut oil and vinegar.
• Mix in your almond meal, ground flax, coconut flour and baking soda, mixing until just combined. It may seem a little runny at first but the mix will thicken quickly.
• Pour your bread mixture into your loaf tin and bake for 30-50 minutes, depending on the depth of your tin. You want to take your loaf out once it's firm to the touch and cooked all the way through. Stick a knife into the middle of your loaf to ensure it is cooked all the way through (a knife is better than a skewer in this instance as you want to ensure it's really cooked and the knife comes out clean).
• If you're unsure of whether the loaf is cooked all the way through, test it with a knife in a different part of the bread (do remember; the middle is the place that will take the longest to cook!).
• Allow your bread to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
• Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze in airtight Ziploc bags.
