Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch nonstick loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds until well combined; set aside.
3
In the stand mixer bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the cooled coconut oil and lemon juice until well blended. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing slowly until incorporated and there are no clumps of flour.
5
Add one-third of the whipped egg whites to the batter and gently fold using a rubber spatula. Repeat this process two more times until all the egg whites have been included, creating a fluffy batter with some streaks remaining.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, top with the remaining poppy and sesame seeds, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for at least 30 minutes. Once cooled, slice into 10 even pieces.
8
For the cranberry relish, add defrosted cranberries, dill, and mustard to a small food processor. Pulse until the cranberries are broken down but still have a coarse texture. Season with kosher salt to taste. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
9
To build the sandwich, season the little gem lettuce with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Toast the slices of keto bread if preferred. Spread the cranberry relish on one side of each slice of bread, then layer one slice with turkey, brie, and seasoned lettuce. Top with the second slice of bread, cranberry relish side down. Secure the sandwich with two skewers for stability and carefully slice it diagonally. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness!
