Keto Bread

Going keto invariably means giving up many of the foods we’ve come to rely on, such as potatoes, pasta, rice, and even bread. However, not eating these foods can be a real challenge. After all, if you can’t have bread, how do you make sandwiches for an easy, portable lunch?

While you can buy keto bread, it’s often expensive, comes in very small loaves, and doesn’t always taste good either.

The good news is that you can make your own.

This keto bread is easy to make, has an excellent soft, light texture, and can be used in place of regular bread. It’s the perfect recipe for anyone who is missing bread on keto.

Keto Bread

Ingredients For 1 Loaf

• 1 cup fine blanched almond flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ tablespoon cream of tartar
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
• 6 large eggs OR 12 egg whites

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 335 degrees Fahrenheit or 160 degrees centigrade. Line and grease an 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf tin with parchment paper.
2. Put the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt in a food processor and combine. Add the melted butter and blend again.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and add the cream of tartar.
4. Pour half the egg mixture into the food processor and pulse to combine.
5. Next, pour the contents of the food processor into the flour bowl and fold to combine. Be gentle to avoid pushing the air out of the mixture. Do not stir!
6. Pour the batter into your pre-prepared loaf tin. Spread the mixture out evenly using a spatula.
7. Bake for 45 minutes or until the loaf starts to turn brown. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil, and then bake for an additional 30 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
9. Turn the bread out and cut it into 18 half-inch-thick slices.

Bottom Line

Regular bread is a complete no-no on keto. It’s made from wheat, and wheat is very high in carbs. However, wheat is not the only type of flour; you can also use things like coconut flour and almond flour for baking.

This keto bread is a little time-consuming to make, so why not whip up a few loaves and keep the extras in the freezer? That way, you’ll always have keto-friendly bread on hand whenever you need it.

Use this keto bread to make sandwiches, eat it with soup, or even lightly toast and butter a couple of slices for breakfast. It’s nice to know that you can enjoy this keto bread without ruining your diet!
