Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Cool the bread completely before slicing or it will crumble—patience is essential.
Store sliced with parchment between layers for easy grab-and-go portions.
Preheat your pan or griddle properly. An evenly heated surface is the difference between golden perfection and uneven cooking.
Room temperature eggs cook more evenly than cold ones. Pull them from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking.
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze sliced for up to 2 months.
Reheating
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of broth or water to prevent drying. Stovetop reheating over medium-low heat is also effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is my bread dense?
- The egg whites were likely not whipped enough or were deflated during folding. Fold gently to preserve the air.
- Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?
- Yes, maple syrup works identically and keeps it strictly paleo for those who avoid honey.
- Can I make this for a crowd?
- This recipe scales well for groups. Double or triple as needed and keep finished portions warm in a 200 degree oven while you cook the rest.
- Can I prep this the night before?
- Many components can be prepared ahead. Batters can rest in the fridge overnight, and cooked items reheat well in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
