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!

Soft, Fluffy Brown Rice Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)

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.

Almond Flour Bread

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.
