The Ketogenic Diet is an ultra-low carb, moderate protein, and high-fat diet. In the absence of carbohydrates, the body’s preferred fuel source, the body is forced into a metabolic stated called ketosis wherein it produces ketones to help fuel the body. Consumption of carbohydrates will knock the body out of ketosis, which is why anything carb-based is generally forbidden on the keto diet unless it is during a scheduled carb refeed.
Bread that’s low in carbs–some might say that this is not possible, but it is indeed doable with the right combination of ingredients. Mind you, this recipe is not without its rejects. It took a lot of tweaking and adjusting before this recipe was deemed acceptable for sharing.
The first order of business with this recipe is to take six eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Don’t discard your yolks though — remember that we’re looking to make good use of healthy fats. Eggs are a near perfect food choice when it comes to eating a keto style diet. They’re an inexpensive source of quality protein and healthy fats, they’re full of essential vitamins and minerals, and their cholesterol content isn’t as bad for you as you many people seem to think. (1) With your eggs separated, the next step is to add in a bit of lemon juice with your egg whites. With that out of the way, you’re going to want to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and then set them aside.

Next, you’re going to take your egg yolks and combine them with your almond flour, baking powder, salt, and melted ghee. As much as I love using grass fed butter (and it’s especially popular amongst keto followers), I truly believe that ghee just slightly edges it out when it comes to nutritional value. It’s full of fat soluble vitamins and packs in a ton of healthy fatty acids. On top of that, research has also indicated that ghee can be incredibly beneficial for your health, with studies showing that it can help to potentially lower your overall cholesterol levels. (2) All that’s left now for this bread recipe is to gradually fold in your egg white and lemon juice combo into this mixture to finish off the bread dough before placing it in the oven for 30 minutes or so.
I’m usually not too surprised by what kinds of foods are possible to enjoy while eating paleo thanks to the use of clever ingredient hacks. However, I have to admit that I never thought it would be possible to enjoy a warm freshly baked loaf of bread while going keto. Thankfully, this keto bread proves that I couldn’t have been more wrong. Enjoying a loaf of bread if you’re in ketosis is not only possible, but it can be incredibly delicious as well.
P.S. – I mentioned earlier how eggs are pretty much the ultimate keto food. With that in mind, I wanted to share a few other great paleo egg recipes that I’m sure you will enjoy: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 Paleo Bread
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.
Paleo Sandwich Bread {grain Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free}
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!
Second Keto White Bread (small Loaf For Sandwich Or Toast! Paleo, Gf)
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).
The Best Low Carb & Paleo Bread
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.
Paleo Low Carb Sandwich Bread Rolls Recipe (keto Buns)
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.
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.
Keto Bread Loaf
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.
