Maria`s sub sandwich and panini

 HEALTHIFIED" SUB

1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (or 1/2 cup coconut flour)

5 TBS psyllium husk powder (no substitutes) 
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp Celtic sea salt
3 egg whites (8 egg whites if using coconut flour) (My eggs are large sized on average)
1 cup BOILING water (or MARINARA - for more Tomato Basil Bread!)

OPTION:  Use 2 whole eggs (Almond flour version) or 4 whole eggs (coconut flour version).  If you are having trouble with it rising using whole eggs you can try egg whites.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, psyllium powder (no substitutes: flaxseed meal won't work), baking powder and salt. Mix until dry ingredients are well combined.  Add in the eggs and mix until a thick dough. Add boiling water or marinara into the bowl. Mix until well combined and dough firms up.

Form into 4 to 5 mini subs (the dough will rise about 2 to 3 times so I start mine as a 1 inch disk, see picture below) or one large sub/loaf and place onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 65 minutes (50 minutes for smaller shapes like buns). Remove from the oven and allow the bread cool completely.  Cut open with a serrated knife. Fill with desired fillings. Makes 5 servings. 

NOTE!  If you get a hollow bread, try lowering the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.  It will rise less (maybe 2X instead of 3X at 350) but it will be less likely to get an air bubble. :)

   Note: I added less soda so it didn`t rise that much but it it came our very nice, all the same.
