Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a large baking sheet with some olive or coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, oil, honey or maple syrup, egg yolks, and yeast. Whisk together and set aside
Crack the egg whites into a metal or glass bowl (not plastic or copper) and whisk until soft peaks form.
In another smaller bowl, combine 1 cup cassava flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well.
Whisk the cassava flour mixture into the yeast mixture.
Carefully fold the egg whites into the yeast and cassava flour mixture
Fold in the coconut flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Fold in the remaining 1/3 cup cassava flour.
Carefully scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. It will be very sticky. Using floured or wet hands, carefully form the dough into a baguette shape. Don't manhandle the dough too much.
Brush the loaf with the egg wash and make a few slashes in the top with a bread knife.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. I baked mine for exactly 28 minutes
Cool, slice and serve.
