Can it be made by substituting bread flour for the almond meal?

I don't want to pay $10 for almond meal!

Hi Elizabeth!

Good news! You do not need to buy almond meal. Almond meal is truly just ground almonds. So you could buy 4 oz. of almonds and blitz them in a food processor or high-power blender, until they have the texture of breadcrumbs.

I would be concerned swapping in bread flour here. Almond meal isn't a flour and is providing texture and nutty flour, the bread flour would potentially dry this bread out.

Hope this helps!
