Key ideas in Baking Your First Almond Flour Loaf
- Almond flour lacks gluten
- Wheat relies on gluten for structure
- Substitution failure
- Eggs as gluten substitute
- Leavening agents and eggs

- The specific roles of ingredients in creating the 'lift' for grain-free baking
- Without eggs or a strong binder, almond bread remains a dense brick
- The necessity of eggs for achieving height in almond-based breads
- Almond flour lacks gluten, so it will never become elastic or stretchy
- Almond flour is gluten-free, so over-mixing is not a risk to the bread's tenderness
- The batter should be thick and scoopable, similar to a heavy muffin batter
