Vanilla-almond sponge bread

Jan 4, 2023 | Breakfast

If you’re looking for a basic morning bread replacement, this might be for you! Eat it plain, fresh out of the oven, or toast it with some extra butter and cinnamon. You can also use it to make a grain-free French toast. This pan-bread can also be flavored easily with the juice and zest of a lemon or orange.
