Carnivore Bread (2 Versions – Classic & Dairy-Free)

📖 Description

This Carnivore Bread is soft, fluffy, and completely grain-free—perfect for sandwiches, toast, or alongside your favorite meat dishes. Made with eggs, pork panko, and rich fats, it delivers a satisfying bread-like texture while staying low-carb and high-protein. You can make it classic (with butter & cottage cheese) or dairy-free (using tallow) depending on your preference.

🧾 Ingredients

Base Recipe:

12 large eggs
1.5 cups cottage cheese
2 cups pork panko (crushed pork rinds)
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted

Dairy-Free Option:

Replace butter with ½ cup melted beef tallow
Replace cottage cheese with ¾ cup blended egg whites or bone broth cream (for moisture)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well.

2. Blend Wet Ingredients

In a blender, combine eggs and cottage cheese (or dairy-free substitute). Blend until completely smooth and slightly frothy.

3. Add Dry Ingredient

Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Add pork panko gradually and mix until fully combined.

4. Add Fat

Stir in melted butter (or tallow). Mix until you get a thick, batter-like consistency.

5. Pour & Shape

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set. Insert a toothpick—it should come out clean.

7. Cool

Let the bread cool completely in the pan for at least 20–30 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and hold shape.
