Keto Almond Flour Bread Recipe With Yeast

Ever since I released my keto bread mix, people have been asking me if they can use it to make keto bread with yeast. Well, now you can! Bread made with this mix is already totally delicious, but adding yeast just takes it over the top. Give this low carb keto yeast bread recipe a try, especially if you’ve been disappointed by dense keto breads. Not anymore!

If you’re a fan of yeast in baking, try it out in keto dinner rolls, soft pretzels, hot dog buns, and garlic cheese bread – they are all made with yeast and super fluffy.

My Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix makes this keto yeast bread recipe come together in such an easy way! And if you’ve written off keto bread as being dense, you’ve got to give this one a try. It’s my best yet. I spent months getting this mix just right, so that it’s light, fluffy

TIP: Make sure the water is warm, not hot or cold. A good temperature range is 105-115 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, use the inside of your wrist to test. It should feel pleasantly warm, not cold or hot.

TIP: For a warm place, I recommend the oven with the light on and heat off. You could also try a sunny window sill, just make sure there is no draft.

Yes, you can use yeast in keto bread. You just need something to activate it. In normal breads, that would be sugar, but I prefer to feed it with inulin powder instead.

However, if you follow a dirty keto diet and don’t mind trace amounts of sugar, you could substitute an equal amount of coconut sugar.

Yes, yeast is keto friendly. Where it gets confusing is that yeast needs something to “feed” on for it to become active. Typically we feed yeast with sugar, which the yeast “digests” but still makes us a bit nervous.

Ingredient Emergency Bread (no Yeast, Eggs, Butter Or Oil)

Why is why once I found out that yeast can feed on inulin powder, I’ve never looked back. It’s a great way to add height and flavor to keto baked goods.

Yeast does not contain any carbs. But sugar and/or starches usually activate the yeast, which is probably why you associate it with carbs.

Even though the yeast “eats” the sugars, I actually found a keto option that works just as well as sugar – inulin powder!

Keto Bread Recipe

Keto loaf bread with yeast is best after it’s completely cooled, or even the next day. Don’t cut into it until it’s completely cooled!

Yes, slice it and store in the freezer with parchment paper sheets in between slices (to prevent sticking). It’s good frozen for 2-3 months.

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! 😉 

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.

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.

Not

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). 

Keto Yeast Bread (perfect For Sandwiches!)

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).

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). 

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.

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.

Coconut Flour Bread Recipe (easy!)

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.

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 to the final results.
