Keto Yeast Almond Flour Bread Recipe

Learn how to make perfect keto bread that is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or any other way you enjoy sliced bread! Made with almond flour, there is no yeast and no grains needed! 2 grams net carbs per serving.

Everyone has their baking staples that they make over and over again. For me, my favorite recipes to make are keto banana bread, keto naan, and this classic keto bread.

When I first embarked on a keto diet, I was nervous that my diet would be completely transformed. I was under the assumption that many of my favorite foods would now be off limits and my meals would be protein, dairy, and vegetables. Luckily, those fears were quickly dismissed when I realized I could mimic my pre-keto diet verbatim…but with low carb alternatives!

Low Carb Coconut Flour Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)

As the name suggests, keto bread is a low carb alternative to a traditional sandwich and toast bread. Unlike the traditional kind, it doesn’t contain any white or wheat flour. Instead, it’s made with almond flour and often doesn’t require any yeast. I’ve been making my own version for years, ever since I started a keto diet and didn’t want to give up my favorite sandwiches!

I’ve been meaning to share a keto bread recipe for quite some time. Every keto dieter NEEDS to have a go-to bread to make whenever the carb cravings strike, or when you just want a classic sandwich or some toast for breakfast! Now, any kind of bread can be intimidating to make, but I promise you that this one is a game changer!

No yeast and no carbs are needed, but you’d never tell. The texture of the bread is soft and fluffy in the middle and has a lovely tender crumb. It slices and toasts beautifully, and has no almond flavor whatsoever!

Even though plenty of grocery stores now stock low carb bread, this homemade recipe is so much better. It’s much cheaper and something you’ll be baking at least once a week!

Start by whisking together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a mixing bowl, add the ground flaxseed, eggs, melted butter, and water and, using a hand mixer, beat everything together until frothy and bubbles form. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Now, transfer the batter into a greased 8 x 4-inch (or smaller) loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan completely, before slicing.

Technically, you can eat most things on a keto diet. The big question is how much of your daily net carb allowance you want to use up on just one food or a variety of foods.

Bread is something that IS suitable for a keto diet. There is plenty of commercial keto bread available (both in grocery stores and online), and, as this recipe proves, you can make your own.

Most mainstream grocery stores now stock at least one or two kinds of keto friendly bread. Aldi is perhaps the most well known and affordable keto bread available. The L’oven Fresh’ bread Keto friendly bread comes in both wheat and multiseed, and boasts zero net carbs. It’s also vegan friendly, so can be used as multipurpose bread.

Low Carb Bread (almond Flour Bread)

Unless you have plenty of carbs to spare, Ezekiel bread is NOT recommended on a keto diet. Per slice, it contains 15 grams of carbs, with a whopping 12 grams of net carbs. Unless this was the only carb source you’d consume in a day, it’s best to stick with Aldi keto bread or Dave’s killer bread.

This recipe can only be made with almond flour. Do not substitute it out for coconut flour or another flour, as it will not work.

Keto

This recipe makes a full loaf of bread and each loaf yields 12 slices. The entire loaf yields 24 net carbs, which works out to be 2 grams net carbs per slice.

I’m a two time cookbook author, photographer, and writer, and passionate about creating easy and healthier recipes. I believe you don’t need to be experienced in the kitchen to make good food using simple ingredients that most importantly, taste delicious.Count 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!

Keto Bread Just 2 Grams Carbs!

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.

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).

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. 

Low

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
