With together egg whites in a secondary bowl and consider adding cream of tartar if you need to keep the egg whites from getting too runny.

Fold one third of the egg whites into the dough until the moisture is properly absorbed and then fold the rest into the dough afterwards.

Grease up a bread pan loaf with coconut oil or butter and load the dough into the bread pan.

Bake at 350° for 75 min. and consider adding a quarter cup of pistachios to the top for texture if you would like.

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 min. to a full hour.
