Loaf Bread Recipe Using Almond Flour

Thislow carb bread recipe with almond flourcame about somewhat by accident during my Sundayketo meal planning. I had been making the flattened version of my 4-ingredientalmond flour biscuitsto use for sandwiches each week, but I wanted to create an almond flour bread that is much closer to a traditional bread. This is one of the closest ways I’ve come to a carb-free bread loaf. Although almond flour bread is not quite as low in carbs as cloud bread or my white keto bread (both of which are lighter and fluffier), this one is a low carb gluten-free bread that has a taste and texture closer to a whole wheat variety. It even has a crusty exterior!

This one is one of my favorite low carb bread recipes for everything from toast to sandwiches — and will easily fit into your low-carb diet! I’ve been making it for years, but recently updated it to use a hand mixer and the results are even better (more on this below).

Almond

After dozens of tests, I only make this loaf with Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour. That’s because its fine-milled texture makes each slice taste more authentic than other flours, all while keeping the carb count ultra low. You can truly taste the difference!

Almond Flour Bread (low Carb & Delicious!)

You can! Many of my readers in our low carb support group report you can make this almond flour bread recipe in a bread machine. If you want to use your bread machine, load the dough into your machine instead of a loaf pan and make sure to use the “Quick Bread” setting.

I’m so excited about how delicious and chewy this almond flour bread is! It’s one of my favorite low carb bread recipes, and I want it to be yours, too.

Almond flour just doesn’t work the same way as wheat flour. But, you can still do everything you can to help this bread rise:

Done before it actually is! And if you take it out too soon, it will fall and worse, it will be gummy inside. Here are 2 ways to test for doneness:

In general, err on the side of more time and not less. You can always cover the top if it starts to burn, though I’ve never had to do that.

Wrap low carb gluten-free bread in parchment paper, not plastic. Store on the counter for 3 to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 1 week. It does get a little hard at the end, similar to wheat bread from the store (perfect for keto French toast or low carb croutons).

It will trap moisture and ruin the texture. If it gets a little damp or gummy with time, you can pop it in the toaster to fix that.

Yes, you can freeze low carb bread for 3-6 months. Slice and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Once frozen solid, transfer your (almost) carb free bread slices to a freezer bag. (Alternatively, you can freeze in a freezer bag right away with pieces of parchment paper between the slices.) Reheat in the toaster.

This easy almond flour bread is the best low carb bread recipe with a texture like wheat bread. Just 5 ingredients and 2g net carbs!

Best Keto Cheese Bread Loaf (almond Flour Recipe)

This delicious almond flour bread comes together quickly and smells so good when it bakes. Its pleasantly neutral taste makes it the perfect canvas for many toppings. It's also very filling!

You can bake a loaf on the weekend, keep it in the fridge, and toast a slice or two for your meals throughout the week.

You'll only need six simple ingredients to make this keto bread. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

Almond Flour Bread With Yeast (keto Recipe)

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch loaf pan (a 9-inch pan will be too big). For easy removal, you can line the pan with parchment paper with an overhang.

No, it doesn't. When making this bread, it is important to adjust our expectations. The yeasty aroma and gluten-induced fluffiness we love about traditional bread cannot be achieved without yeast and gluten.

So, this is more of a quick bread that fills the need to make a sandwich or have a slice of bread for breakfast. It's excellent - but it's different than traditional bread.

Almond Flour Bread

I use refined coconut oil to keep the bread's flavor neutral and non-coconutty. You can use virgin coconut oil if you don't mind the flavor, especially if you plan to use this bread with sweet toppings or unsalted butter.

I've been making this bread for years. Lately, my favorite fat to use is melted unsalted butter. You can see in the video below that this is what I use. It's more flavorful than refined coconut oil (which is essentially flavorless), so the bread comes out tastier, even without any toppings.

Low

Yes. You can use either ½ teaspoon of baking soda or 2 teaspoons of baking powder (gluten-free if needed). Both work. If you use baking powder, there's no need to add vinegar to the batter.

Easy Low Carb Gluten Free Bread

The apple cider vinegar interacts with the baking soda, enabling the bread to rise (here's a good explanation of how to activate baking soda).

You can use any vinegar or fresh lemon juice to achieve the same goal. If you replace the baking soda with baking powder, you can omit the vinegar.

Yes. I tested this bread with this almond meal, and it worked, although I prefer the almond flour version. The bread is coarser and not as fluffy when using almond meal, and you'll need to check the batter. If it seems very dry, add a tablespoon of milk.

Keto Bread Just 2 Grams Carbs!

For breakfast, I toast this bread and spread it with walnut butter, keto hazelnut spread, or sweet butter. It's also excellent with soft-boiled eggs.

Sometimes, I use this bread to make keto grilled cheese. It truly is a versatile keto bread that goes with any topping you like!

Once completely cool, place the bread in an airtight container or a large resealable bag and store it in the fridge for up to five days.

Vegan Almond Flour Bread With Yeast (easy, Gf)

It also freezes well. I slice it, wrap each slice individually in plastic wrap, and then put all the slices in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, I briefly heat a slice in the microwave or toast it.
