Gluten Free Paleo And Keto Bread Recipe

I was playing around the kitchen this week trying to make a new bread recipe for stuffing. Last year I had used my Ultimate Keto Buns to make stuffing and had basically tripled the batch, but this year I wanted to try making a new recipe just for fun. It took me a couple of tries to get the right consistency as the first tries were either too soft, wet or too eggy. I usually like to make breads or baked goods when my boyfriend comes over so that I can make him taste and he usually tells me if anything is weird tasting. If he approves, then I'll upload it to the blog because he doesn't eat low carb so low carb treats are usually something he's not interested in unless it tastes like the real thing.

I wanted to make a bread that didn't need xanthan gum or psyllium to hold it together so I thought of separating the egg whites and yolks and making it like the way I make sponge cakes. On my first try, I had only put homemade almond butter in the batter and it wasn't firm enough and tasted like eggs too much so for my final round, I added some coconut flour to absorb some of the excess liquid, decreased the eggs, upped the almond butter and added some spices. Don't worry, the bread does not have any coconut taste! I personally hate coconut so the amount that I put in was just so that it made the batter thicker! I actually also have a second gluten-free low carb bread recipe that I'll upload soon and this one is made with oat fiber!

If you'd like to try a lower carb option, you can definitely use this keto bread recipe. It's made with a mix of almond flour, chia seeds and eggs so it's relatively low carb.

Almond Flour Bread (low Carb, Paleo, Gluten Free)

You can use any type of nut butter for this recipe, cashew butter tastes awesome, but it's a little higher in carbs. Also, the bread itself isn't very big, I just used a 9x5inch loaf pan. I ending up cutting it up, toasting it and making some delicious Low Carb Stuffing this year with it. You can accompany the stuffing with some delicious Keto Turkey Giblet Gravy and don't forget the Keto Thanksgiving Turkey ! You'll have the perfect menu for Thanksgiving!

This bread is a pretty small one, it won't rise super high like wheat bread, but it's pretty simple to make and yummy 🙂

Food Blogger | Beating PCOS through diet and lifestyle | Healthy Food Enthusiast | Amateur Photographer | Animal Lover | Based in VirginiaCount on this gluten free and keto bread with yeast to be extra soft, fluffy and absolutely delicious with a killer crumb. Plus, with less than half the amount of eggs as your usual low carb bread recipe, this non-eggy sandwich bread will surely become a staple!

Note: this recipe was first published on April 9th 2018, but has since been updated to provide more deets ‘n tricks! And to my knowledge, it was also the first keto bread recipe with yeast on the internet! 😉 

Single Serving Keto Bread (paleo, Gluten Free, Grain Free)

Without a doubt the most requested recipe by you guys this year has been for a light and not-eggy keto bread loaf. And after quite a few takes, I finally nailed it. The resulting bread has awesome rise (nearly double it’s initial volume!!), killer crumb, and excellent taste.

And as previously mentioned, it’s not eggy, dense or crumbly. Think at least less than half the amount of eggs of your typical recipe, and a few other tips and tricks to ensure killer results. So while different from traditional wheat bread (because ahem, no wheat!), we’re still certain you’ll find this a keeper.

Plus, it keeps very well at room temp for 4 days and freezes beautifully. Oh, and you might also be surprised how good this bread is even without toasting.

Best Keto Gluten Free Bread

Making this paleo and keto bread is incredibly simple really. But, like with any yeasted bread, it does require you take care of a few details to ensure the best possible outcome.

And the one thing to keep in mind is that your bread will likely fall slightly post bake. Blame it on the lack of starch (keto flours are notoriously heavy and moist) and certain missing proteins (think gluten). Just keep in mind that I’m baking at ridiculously high altitude here, so if my loaf was still nearly double it’s volume after cooling- odds are yours will be even better!

The yeast in this low carb and keto bread ensures a wonderful texture and taste. Now, how much your bread will rise (and fall!) post-bake depends quite a bit on your altitude. But note that you still won’t get that gummy and wet texture here of most low carb breads. Plus, as mentioned, I’m baking at over 7, 000 feet (Mexico City here!!), so if I can make this keto sandwich bread work so can you.

Healthy 5 Minute Gluten Free Paleo Bread

On that note, I’ve since baked it in LA (you know, sea level!) and can indeed confirm that the rise is much better- but it does take a little bit longer (about 15-20 minutes more). 

Weigh your ingredients. This will forever be a staple recommendation for any sort of gluten free baking here at . As aside from leading to less dirty dishes, it will ensure consistent results time and time again. Remember that gluten free (and particularly keto) baking is notoriously finicky, and measuring by cups is anything but accurate. And if you don’t own a baking scale, measure with cups by dropping the ingredients onto them rather than scooping them out (which often leads to overpacking).

Low

Ingredients at room temperature. Self explanatory really, but incredibly important (particularly for the eggs). If you add cold eggs to the mix your bread simply won’t rise much (if at all). 

Unbun Foods Gluten Free Keto Bread Reviews

Warm to touch (between 105-110°F to be precise) and inulin (which is fully keto) or an actual sugar (think maple syrup or honey) for 7 minutes until foamy. And before you scream sugar (!!) remember that the yeast will feed on such sugar to emit carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t affect the carb count. And yes, this is a scientific fact. 

Avoid abrupt temperature changes and air drafts. Like with any yeast bread, you need to cuddle your dough. Make sure it’s able to rest undisturbed in a warm space.

Baking at high altitude? Yup, so am I (Paola here!!). I’ve tried quite a few combinations, and the one modification I will suggest is to increase your oven temperature by 25°F. You may also need to decrease the baking time by 5 minutes (I baked the bread for 45 mins), but that may change from oven to oven.

Homemade Gluten Free Bread (keto

This bread does have quite a few ingredients, but you’ll find that most are staple paleo and keto pantry ingredients. In the list below you’ll find details on several ingredients and possible subs. But if possible, please do try and make this recipe without any subs. As out of the 18 permutations we tried, this one really was terrific and the absolute best.

-

Almond flour. You truly need a super finely ground almond flour here, as if you use meal your bread will turn out dense and oily. Super fine almond flour brands include Anthony’s (my personal favorite),  WellBees and Bob’s.

Now if paleo, or in keto maintenance, you can lighten up the bread even more by substituting part of the almond flour (1/4-1/2 cup) with arrowroot flour.

Fluffy Nut Free Keto Sunflower Bread

Golden flaxseed meal.  You’ll want to use golden flaxseed meal (we use Bob’s), and regrind the flakes in your (very dry!) bullet or blender until finely powdered. Great way to avoid slimy bread. You can technically substitute the flaxseed meal with psyllium husk powder, but we prefer the crumb

Psyllium husk powder. Same as with your flaxseed meal, you’ll always want to regrind your psyllium husk. We always favor NOW brand as it doesn’t turn bread purple. You can substitute it with more flax, but your bread may lose some elasticity and rise.

Whey protein isolate. This one is an absolute must, as it will ensure your bread doesn’t collapse post-bake. Keep in mind that this ingredient varies tremendously from brand to brand, and I’ve only tried (and are super happy!) with Isopure’s Zero Carb Unflavored. Update: I’ve since tried this grass-fed whey protein isolate and it also works the charm (a bit pricier, but undoubtedly higher quality)!

Now, the cream of tartar and powdered ginger help to condition the dough to get an even nicer rise. Though note that you can skip them without too much detriment
