Carnivore Baguettes Recipe
This Carnivore Baguette recipe creates a bread-like texture using animal-based ingredients, perfect for those following a strict carnivore diet. These baguettes are rich, satisfying, and versatile enough to pair with your favorite carnivore meals.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 lb raw ground pork
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds (finely ground)
- 2 tbsp grass-fed ghee or butter (melted)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Equipment:
- Baguette pan (or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper)
- Blender or food processor
- Hand mixer (optional for whipping eggs)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease the baguette pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Pork Rind Crumbs:
- Place the pork rinds in a food processor or zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs. Set aside.
3. Blend the Batter:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, raw ground pork, melted ghee, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. Add the Pork Rind Crumbs:
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the crushed pork rinds. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
5. Shape the Baguettes:
- Divide the batter into 2–3 portions (depending on the size of your baguette pan). Shape each portion into a baguette-like form and place in the baguette pan or directly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the baguettes are firm, golden, and cooked through.
- A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the baguettes to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Pro Tips:
- Whipping Eggs (Optional): For a lighter texture, separate the egg whites and yolks. Whip the whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the batter after blending the other ingredients.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for 5–10 minutes before serving.
- Versatility: Use these baguettes as a base for carnivore sandwiches, spread with butter, or dipped into bone broth.
These Carnivore Baguettes are perfect for when you’re craving bread while staying true to your animal-based lifestyle. Enjoy the rich flavor and satisfying texture! 🥖🍳
