Easy Keto Bread Recipe – Low Carb, Gluten-Free & Delicious!

Introduction: Why This Keto Bread Will Change Your Low-Carb Life

Craving warm, fresh bread but sticking to keto? You’re not alone. Many people miss the comfort of a soft slice, only to find store-bought keto bread dry, crumbly, or packed with questionable ingredients.

What if you could bake fluffy, golden keto bread at home—with just a handful of pantry staples, no gluten, and only 2g net carbs per slice? This recipe solves the struggle of finding a low-carb bread that actually tastes like the real thing. No more settling for eggy or dense loaves—this version is so good, even non-keto eaters will love it.

Let’s dive into why this recipe works, how to make it perfectly the first time, and the best ways to enjoy every slice.

Why You’ll Love This Keto Bread

If you’ve tried (and failed) with other keto bread recipes, this one’s different. Here’s why:

✅ Just 2g net carbs per slice – Stay in ketosis without sacrificing flavor.
✅ No gluten or grains – Perfect for celiacs or anyone avoiding wheat.
✅ Soft, pillowy texture – No weird aftertaste or cardboard-like chew.
✅ Ready in 30 minutes – Faster than driving to the store.
✅ Versatile for any meal – Toast it, grill it, or use it for sandwiches.

Unlike almond flour-heavy recipes that turn out dense, this version uses psyllium husk powder for elasticity, mimicking gluten’s stretch without the carbs.

Keto Bread Ingredients & Substitutions

You only need six simple ingredients—all easy to find at any grocery store or online. Here’s what each one does and how to swap if needed:

Ingredient	Why It’s Used	Substitutions
Almond flour	Low-carb flour base	Coconut flour (use 25% less)
Psyllium husk powder	Adds bread-like chew	Xanthan gum (½ tsp)
Eggs	Bind and fluff the loaf	Flax eggs (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water per egg)
Baking powder	Helps the bread rise	None (key for lift)
Butter or coconut oil	Moisture & richness	Olive oil or ghee
Salt	Enhances flavor	None

Pro Tip: Don’t skip the psyllium husk—it’s the secret to a non-crumbly texture. If using coconut flour, add an extra egg to prevent dryness.

Step-by-Step Keto Bread Recipe

Follow these simple steps for a foolproof loaf every time.

1. Prep Your Tools

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat:

• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil

4. Form the Dough

• Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
• Let rest for 5 minutes (psyllium husk absorbs moisture for better texture).

5. Bake to Perfection

• Transfer dough to the loaf pan, smoothing the top.
• Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and firm.
• Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Troubleshooting Tip: If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil.

Common Keto Bread Mistakes (And Fixes)

1. Dense or Gummy Texture

Cause: Too much almond flour or undermixing.
Fix: Add 1–2 tbsp water or whip eggs longer for airiness.

2. Eggy Taste

Cause: Not enough binding agents.
Fix: Use psyllium husk or increase baking powder by ½ tsp.

3. Bread Collapses After Baking

Cause: Opened the oven too early or expired baking powder.
Fix: Test baking powder by mixing ½ tsp with hot water—if it bubbles, it’s active.

FAQ About Keto Bread

1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Yes, but reduce the amount to ½ cup coconut flour and add 2 extra eggs (it’s more absorbent).

2. Is psyllium husk necessary?

For the best texture, yes. Xanthan gum works in a pinch but won’t yield the same chew.

3. Why is my bread crumbly?

You likely didn’t let the dough rest before baking. Psyllium needs time to gel.
