Easy Keto Bread Recipe Ingredients
- Almond Flour: select blanched almond flour rather than almond meal and make sure your flour is fresh as the oils can go rancid. Superfine almond flour will give your bread a smooth texture.
- Baking Powder: always use fresh baking powder, so the bread rises well.
- Salt: salt adds flavor to the bread. I prefer to use kosher salt, but you can use table salt or even sea salt.
- Eggs: bring the eggs to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Flaxseed: ground flaxseed helps bind all ingredients and gives the loaf texture.
- Butter: use unsalted butter to control how salty the bread is.
- Water
- Maple Syrup: real maple syrup (not pancake syrup) adds a touch of natural sweetness to the bread. You can also use honey.
- Sesame Seeds: these add just a touch of crunch.
How To Make Keto Sandwich Bread
- Prepare the equipment. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9X5 loaf pan and cover it with parchment paper with extra hangings on the sides.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder and salt.
- Combine the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, beat the eggs using a hand mixer on a medium speed for 3-5 minutes. Add in the ground flaxseed, butter, water and maple syrup, continue beating for 2 more minutes until frothy.
- Mix the dough. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Bake the keto sandwich bread.Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake it for 40-45 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Serve. Allow the bread to cool and then slice and serve.
Tips To Make Gluten Free Keto Bread
- Use parchment paper to line the pan and allow a slight overhang. This will make removing the finished loaf from the pan super easy.
- Bring the eggs to room temperature.
- Beat the flaxseed mixture until it is really frothy.
- Don’t undercook the bread. A toothpick should come out clean when the bread is done. Optionally, a thermometer inserted in the bread should read a minimum of 200 degrees F.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. If it takes a little longer than 45 minutes, don’t worry.
- Tent with foil halfway through baking, so the top doesn’t over brown while the bread cooks.
