The ground cloves and chicken spice are the key ingredients in this delicious Christmas treat, which is an old family tradition. We’ve always prepared our tourtieres in huge quantities because they freeze well and are a nice quick fix during the hectic holiday season!

Reviews
It was really good and turned out perfectly! The only change I made was that I didn’t have almond oil, so I used coconut oil instead. I’m back at making bread with a machine after many years and now avoiding white flour and sugar so finding recipes like this is so great! Thank you!
I was really impressed how well this came out on my first try. It’s delightfully fluffy and just a tiny bit sweet. I did substitute sunflower oil for almond oil because I didn’t have almond oil. I suspect it didn’t matter much; I can certainly recommend it with sunflower oil in any event. I might try it on the 1.5 lbs loaf setting on my bread machine the next time I make it. It’s just a little dark on the outside and it seems smaller than other two pound loafs I’ve made.
Made as is and we love it. Had too much almond flour and looked for recipes –this is great. No one even seemed to notice. Added sesame seeds the second time I made it–gave it an extra crunch
I made it today and it came out great. Thanks for the recipe!
I did not use the Xanthan Gum. Could not find it in any of the stores.
Excellent bread! I made it exactly as written in my bread machine. Ingredients are expensive but worth it if you plan to make it several times which I have. My husband loved it also and I plan to make one for my neighbor who tried it.
It was easy, and with the bread machine, I didn’t have to heat up the kitchen. The bread is tasty and moist. My family liked it.
Great recipe and made beautifully in the bread machine. couldn’t find almond oil, but just used what I had. also couldn’t find the xanthan gum, and truthfully, I don’t know why that is an ingredient. the bread has great taste and texture – cuts perfectly.
Excellent bread, nice flavor, cuts so nicely you can make a sandwich, or toast, and it didn’t fall apart. PERFECT in every way! Thanks!!!! I will use it again!
This is my second time making this bread. This time I substitute the water with skim milk. It tastes much better.
This loaf was excellent! I was skeptical because of the almond flour (which I love) but the rise, crumb and texture were very good. Wonderful aroma while it was cooking! (I should add that I used coconut oil, rather than almond oil.) My husband even commented on the aroma. Great loaf of bread with all the extra goodness and health benefits of almond flour and whole wheat. Thanks for the recipe!
