1.   Pre-heat your oven to 400F or 200 C

2.   Place a fine mesh sieve over a large mixing bowl to which you add all the dry ingredients: the pecan flour, the coconut flour, whole psyllium husks, the gluten free baking powder, baking soda and skim milk powder

3.   Fork whisk the egg whites and the pour the whisked whites into your mixing bowl

4.   Stir until all the dry ingredients have been incorporated with the egg whites

5.   To the measuring cup of boiling hot water add the apple cider vinegar and stir. Pour the boiling water and vinegar solution into the bowl. Immediately fold the water with the dry ingredients, just until all the dry ingredients have been combined with the hot water. Do not over fold

6.   Immediately scoop and transfer the dough into your parchment lined loaf pan – you do not need to shape the dough – just gently place and distribute the dough into the pan, but do not compress the dough as you are placing it into the loaf pan

7.   Using your wet fingers or a spatula, very gently even out the top of the dough. Next, using a pastry brush, coat the melted butter over the entire surface of your dough. OPTIONAL: sprinkle the chopped pecans over the surface and gently press the pieces to embed them in the dough

8.   The last step is to make several ¼ inch or 6 mm deep diagonal cuts into the top surface of the dough. Place the loaf pan in the middle position of your preheated oven and set your timer for 40 – 45 minutes. When done, test your loaf with a toothpick and if the toothpick is dry, the bread should be done by this point

9.   Turn off the oven heat. Prop the oven door to remain slightly open by placing a rolled-up oven mitt or towel to hold the oven door ajar. Leave the bread in the oven to cool for about 20 minutes

10.   Take the pan out of the oven, lift the loaf out of the pan and peel off the parchment paper. Place the loaf onto a cooling rack and let the bread rest until it is completely cooled to room temperature

11.   To serve – just cut the bread into ½ inch or 1.3 cm thick slices. Enjoy!
