This easy and super fluffy 2-ingredient bread is made with just eggs and chicken flour: It's protein packed, fully carnivore, low-carb, nut-free, dairy-free and gluten-free!
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper greased with butter, ghee or olive oil spray. Preheat the oven to 320 °F (160 °C).
In a small bowl, combine the 3/4 cup chicken flour (dehydrated chicken powder) with the 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum, if using. If not, skip this step.
Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg whites in a larger bowl (the standing mixer bowl if you're using one) and the yolks in another bowl.
Whisk the 8 egg yolks until they are pale, foamy and tripled in size.
Beat the 10 egg whites to stiff peaks. If you wish, as you start whisking add 1 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or apple cider vinegar to help prevent clumps from overbeating.
Gently fold the chicken flour/powder into the beaten egg whites until they are well combined.
Fold in the the beaten egg yolks. With the standing mixer on minimum speed, or with a whisk by hand, whisk for about one minute to until the batter is completely uniform in color, with no visible streaks.
Transfer the batter into the lined loaf pan, and take it into the preheated oven at 320 °F (160 °C) for 25 minutes, until it has a domed golden top and a stick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Turn off the oven, crack open the door and leave the chicken flour bread rest inside for 10-15 minutes before taking it out. Allow the bread to cool down before slicing.
Notes
For this recipe I use a 10 x 4 inches loaf pan. This bread grows taller in pans that are longer and not so wide.I suggest my recipe for homemade chicken flour in the ingredient list. You can also find ready-made carnivore chicken flour here.I recommend using xanthan gum for the best results, but you don't have to if you prefer to avoid gums or processed ingredients in your diet. This bread is still very tasty and fluffy without it!The most important tip for the bread to turn out perfect: attention when mixing the batter. Don't under or overbeat the whites, fold gently not to deflate, and make sure the batter is uniformly mixed before baking, with no streaks of yolk or yolk sunk to the bottom of the bowl.
