The Ketogenic Diet is an ultra-low carb, moderate protein, and high-fat diet. In the absence of carbohydrates, the body’s preferred fuel source, the body is forced into a metabolic stated called ketosis wherein it produces ketones to help fuel the body. Consumption of carbohydrates will knock the body out of ketosis, which is why anything carb-based is generally forbidden on the keto diet unless it is during a scheduled carb refeed.
Bread that’s low in carbs–some might say that this is not possible, but it is indeed doable with the right combination of ingredients. Mind you, this recipe is not without its rejects. It took a lot of tweaking and adjusting before this recipe was deemed acceptable for sharing.
The first order of business with this recipe is to take six eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Don’t discard your yolks though — remember that we’re looking to make good use of healthy fats. Eggs are a near perfect food choice when it comes to eating a keto style diet. They’re an inexpensive source of quality protein and healthy fats, they’re full of essential vitamins and minerals, and their cholesterol content isn’t as bad for you as you many people seem to think. (1) With your eggs separated, the next step is to add in a bit of lemon juice with your egg whites. With that out of the way, you’re going to want to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and then set them aside.

Next, you’re going to take your egg yolks and combine them with your almond flour, baking powder, salt, and melted ghee. As much as I love using grass fed butter (and it’s especially popular amongst keto followers), I truly believe that ghee just slightly edges it out when it comes to nutritional value. It’s full of fat soluble vitamins and packs in a ton of healthy fatty acids. On top of that, research has also indicated that ghee can be incredibly beneficial for your health, with studies showing that it can help to potentially lower your overall cholesterol levels. (2) All that’s left now for this bread recipe is to gradually fold in your egg white and lemon juice combo into this mixture to finish off the bread dough before placing it in the oven for 30 minutes or so.
I’m usually not too surprised by what kinds of foods are possible to enjoy while eating paleo thanks to the use of clever ingredient hacks. However, I have to admit that I never thought it would be possible to enjoy a warm freshly baked loaf of bread while going keto. Thankfully, this keto bread proves that I couldn’t have been more wrong. Enjoying a loaf of bread if you’re in ketosis is not only possible, but it can be incredibly delicious as well.
P.S. – I mentioned earlier how eggs are pretty much the ultimate keto food. With that in mind, I wanted to share a few other great paleo egg recipes that I’m sure you will enjoy:A quick and easy almond flour keto bread that does not taste eggy.

Keto Bread In 90 Seconds! • Low Carb With Jennifer
I've been searching for a perfect bread recipe having spent far too much money buying low carb versions online! This tastes great and is a lovely texture too, I'll definitely be making this regularly.
I have made many keto bread recipes since I started eating low carb. And I've got to say - this almond flour bread is one of my favourites! It is such an easy recipe and requires only a few ingredients.
I regularly use it as sandwich bread in lunch boxes. We love it with salmon and cream cheese, topped with smashed avocado and a poached egg or simply toasted with butter and sugar free strawberry jam.

Full disclosure here - low carb bread will never taste exactly like white bread or sourdough. You CAN taste the almond in almond flour bread. I think it has a pleasantly nutty and ever so slightly sweet flavor.
This recipe contains psyllium husks. Psyllium does not only help with the fluffy texture, but also makes your entirely grain free loaf taste a bit like whole-wheat bread. Last but not least, psyllium is a fantastic source of fiber!
Some keto bread recipes use as many as 7 eggs to help bind the dough. The result is a distinctive egg taste and weird spongy texture, which many people dislike (including myself).
Low Carb Keto Bread Recipe With Almond Flour And Cheese
I used only 4 eggs in this recipe. And to prevent ANY eggy taste, I omitted 2 of the egg yolks, using only 2 egg yolks in the recipe. It works so well! My almond flour bread is fluffy and not spongy at all.
And there's one more secret ingredient that helps this bread have a texture that resembles regular bread: xanthan gum. Low carb bread lacks the gluten which occurs in wheat, which can make it crumbly. The xanthan gum gives grain free bread a stronger structure and a better crust.
Almond flour: I have made this recipe with both very fine almond flour and with coarser ground almonds / almond meal. Both work well. The coarser your almond flour is, the more rustic and country-style your bread will be.

Psyllium husk: I used whole psyllium husks in this recipe. The term is slightly confusing - they actually are not whole at all, but look like little thin sticks. If you want to use psyllium husk powder instead, you need to HALVE the amount stated.
Xanthan gum: Since keto bread does not contain gluten, it is more fragile than bread made with wheat flour. That's where the xanthan gum comes in. It gives gluten-free bread a sturdier texture and makes it easier to slice without crumbling.
Crack 2 eggs into a large mixing bowl and add 2 additional egg whites. The recipe works best if the eggs are room temperature. Whisk the eggs and egg whites for 2 minutes until frothy. You can use a hand mixer or a food processor.
Keto Bread W/ Almond Flour
Update June 2022 - additional step for an even lighter bread: Instead of beating the whole eggs, separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat the egg yolks until fluffy and pale in colour.
Combine half of the beaten egg whites with the egg yolks and mix briefly. Reserve the other half of the egg whites to fold in at the end.
If you have separated the eggs and beaten the egg whites, carefully fold in the second half of the stiff egg whites now.
Keto Almond Yeast Bread
Fill the batter into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. If you don't use a silicone loaf pan line ALL SIDES with parchment paper so the bread will release easily.
Bake the bread in the oven at 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes or until a knife or skewer inserted comes out clean!
After it has baked for 30 minutes, check the bread. Once the top is golden, cover it loosely with a piece of aluminium paper. This will prevent the top from getting too dark or burning.
Keto Bread With Vital Wheat Gluten
Absolutely! If you use a small 1-pound loaf pan, you will end up with a perfect sandwich bread/toast shape. (If you use a regular 9 x 5-inch loaf pan your bread will still taste great, but will end up flatter.)
FYI: The loaf pan in the image above is a large 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. It's the pan I used in the video for my first loaf. If you use a small loaf pan, the dough will fill the entire pan. The loaves in the images and the one shown at the end of the video are made using a small loaf pan.
Let the bread cool fully before slicing. It is fragile when straight out of the oven, but firms up as it cools.

It's disappointing to take your bread out of the oven and finding out that it's tiny and hard as a rock. If you're new to baking bread, there are a few simple rules to follow so this does not happen.
1.) Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Check the use-by date or test it by putting a little baking powder in a glass with warm or hot water (cold water does not work). If it fizzes, it's fresh.
2.) Beat your eggs until they are frothy to get air into them. When you add the almond flour do not over-beat so the dough stays airy.

Update: I have since made this bread a slightly different way, which increases the amount of air pockets and yields a lighter result. Instead of simply blending the eggs altogether, I separated them first and beat the egg whites until they formed stiff peaks.
I then used half of the stiff egg whites and mixed them into a dough with the rest of the ingredients in my food processor. Then I folded in the remaining egg whites, mixing only just enough for the dough to be smooth.
3.) Make
