For that very reason I have just updated the post to answer the many questions regarding it. Every day I receive so many photos of your creations, questions for substitutions, baking tips, etc.

So, I thought it was time to try and answer them and do a few updates on the recipe and pictures. The updates have taken affect from 14th August 2020.

Keto Bread Recipe {tastes Like The Real Thing}

Let’s start by addressing that this low carb bread recipe does contain gluten. So, for those of you who cannot tolerate gluten thislow carb bread recipeis totally out for you.

Since starting blogging keto, I have had my share of people telling me what is or is notketo foods. Keto is actually based on the state ofketosisright? Eatinga very low carb dietto maintain aketonesin the blood is “being keto”. This recipe still suits that lifestyle, but this bread does contain grain.

Originally inspired by Deidre’s Bread Maker Bread, Keto.luna, and She Calls Me Hobbit. This is easily one of the best low carb bread recipes I have tried. Your feedback has also shown just how amazing the recipe is.

How To Make Fresh Keto Bread

I often get asked about many of the ingredients and if there are substitutes. So, here are just a few options I have used.

Gluten flour – sorry no gluten free substitute for this one and yes, it is essential to the bread recipe. This is one keto recipe using vital wheat gluten that cannot be substituted.

Oat Fiber – oat fibre is made from the husk of the oat. It is zero calories and carbs. No, it is not oat flour. I have used Woolworths Gentle Fibre as a substitute in another low carb loaf however this does add carbs and grains to your bread. The texture and taste of the low carb bread is much better using the oat fiber

Eggs – eggs can be substituted with a chia eggs (2 tbsp chia seeds or chia flour and 6 tbsp of water) for an egg free loaf and also for a keto vegan bread.

Butter – sub ghee, any vegan or dairy free spread, or light tasting olive oil for a dairy free low carb bread.

It really is easy to make and bake your own low carb bread at home. Here is all you need to do. I have included a low carb Thermomix bread recipe / method for all our Thermomix users. It is super easy this way and of course, can be replicated in any food processor as well.

Inulin is a prebiotic fibre that can be used to activate yeast. Other keto sweeteners do NOT activate yeast. If you do not have inulin sugar or honey can be used (just 1 tsp) in its place. The yeast will consume the carbs of the sugar so don’t stress.

Instant dried yeast is yeast powder that is available at most supermarkets. I do recommend using yeast for good rise in my low carbohydrate breads.

I recommend milling golden flax seeds (also known as linseeds) before baking. I buy whole flax seeds and mill as needed. Using golden flaxmeal results in a nut free keto bread. A nut free low carb bread is also awesome for kids lunchboxes where nuts are not allowed in certain schools.

Best

Eggs should be large eggs and at room temperature. Refrigerated eggs will give the bread an eggy flavour. You can substitute just 3 egg whites if preferred. This will add protein to the bread without the added fats of the yolk.

Oat fibre can be replaced with psyllium husks or Macro Gentle Fibre (but it is higher in carbs). I have not tested psyllium husk powder but maybe a quarter cup would do it.

Basic Low Carb Yeast Bread

Seeds like whole flax, sesame seeds or poppy seeds can be added for more of a whole wheat or whole grain bread.

The butter can be replaced with Nuttelex or any dairy-free or vegan spread or oil for a dairy free or keto vegan bread.

Can I make the low carb bread recipe in the bread machine? Yes, you can. I have included a link in the blog post to our bread maker method and a slightly different recipe.

Low Carb Chickpea Flour Bread

Can oat fibre bread be made into pizza bases? Yes, it can, however it is pretty “bready”. It is okay but not amazing.

My bread does not rise like yours. Depending on the temperature you are proving at can affect the rise of the dough. In the winter keep it very warm with a silicone mat or use the oven technique to rise the dough.

Easy

Brands of Gluten Flour. Gluten flour can be found in many health foods shops across the globe. Until recently I mostly used Bob’s Red Mill brand, but this has become almost impossible to source. I currently use Lotus Foods brand, I find it gives the best rise in the loaf. The other brand I have tried is Abundance Foods. The Abundance flour gives a great tasting low carb bread, but it tends not to rise as much.

Ultimate Keto Bread V2.0

**NOTE: This bread contains gluten and therefore anyone with celiac or gluten intolerance should NOT make this bread. (In fact, I’d avoid it if you even live in the same house/apartment as someone who lives with celiac/intolerance)

So I haven’t tried making this vital wheat gluten bread in a bread machine but it’s worth a try. If anyone gives it a go – let me know how it turns out!

The Best Keto Bread

The two main ingredients in this bread – vital wheat gluten flour and almond flour. You will want to make sure that you get vital wheat gluten flour and NOT gluten flour. Most gluten flours are just high protein wheat flours that are high in carbs.

As for the loaf pan – I used a 9×5 loaf tin, but I also halved the recipe and tried in a 1 loaf pan (see pics below). I recommend using an 8.5 x 4.5 for optimal rise. The 9×5 was great but a little wide. The 1lb tin worked perfectly for half the recipe so a proper 8.5 x 4.5 pan will work just as well.

I used a stand mixer – as seen in the video attached to this page. It’s really important to check the consistency of the bread frequently. It should only take around 5-10 minutes for it to be kneaded properly (even if it doesn’t look like it) so you’ll want to pull a piece of the dough and if it stretches without breaking (and you can feel resistance from the gluten) then you’re good to go.

After it’s done in the mixer – it won’t really look like a bread dough – so to bring it all together, I oil the counter and my
