This low carb cast iron skillet bread delivers a golden, fluffy texture with a crispy crust that rivals traditional bread. The cast iron method creates an irresistibly crusty exterior while keeping the inside perfectly tender.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F with cast iron skillet inside.
Brown the butter: Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, swirling occasionally. It'll foam, then turn golden with brown flecks and smell nutty (3–4 minutes). Remove immediately. Or you can just use melted butter (but it won't taste as rich). Let it cool slightly.
Whisk dry ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, sour cream, and browned butter.
Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Gently fold in egg whites in two additions-don't deflate them.
Grease the hot skillet, pour in batter (should sizzle), and smooth the top. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden and center springs back. Brush top with melted butter and scatter flaky salt (optional). Enjoy.
