-
1½ teaspoons salt

How to Make Keto-Friendly Bread
Proof the Yeast
-
Pour the warm water into a mixing bowl.
-
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water.
-
If you’d like, add a teaspoon of sugar substitute to help activate the yeast.
-
Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast mixture looks frothy and creamy on top.
Add Oil and Seasoning
-
Stir the salt and olive oil (or melted butter) into the yeast mixture until combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Psyllium husk powder
-
Baking powder
-
Make sure there are no lumps and everything is evenly mixed.
Mix the Dough
-
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl with the yeast mixture.
-
Stir well until everything is incorporated. The mixture will be thick.
-
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
-
Add the beaten eggs to the dough mixture and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Prepare the Pan
-
Grease a loaf pan.
-
Use a smaller loaf pan rather than a standard 9×5-inch pan for a better rise and shape.
-
-
Transfer the dough into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Let It Rise
-
Place the pan in a warm, draft-free spot.
-
Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour.
-
Don’t worry if it doesn’t double in size—keto bread doesn’t rise like traditional wheat bread because it has no gluten.
Bake
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake the bread for about 40–45 minutes, or until:
-
The top is golden brown
-
A toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
-
Cool Completely
-
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread sit for a few minutes.
-
Carefully remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack.
-
Let it cool completely before slicing. This helps the texture set and makes cleaner slices.
What to Expect (Texture & Taste)
Keto bread is:
-
Denser and more filling than regular bread
-
Slightly more “eggy” or nutty in flavor
-
Moist, with a hearty crumb due to almond and coconut flour plus psyllium husk
It’s great for:
-
Toast with butter or cream cheese
-
Low-carb avocado toast
-
Open-faced sandwiches
-
Dipping in soups and stews
Storage Tips
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days.
-
For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week.
-
You can also slice and freeze the bread, then toast slices as needed.
This Keto-Friendly Bread is a satisfying, low-carb staple that can help you enjoy bread-like texture and flavor while staying on track with your goals
