The best keto bread recipe made to replace classic white bread. You can toast it up for buttery, crunchy toast or serve as your favorite sandwich. This easy to make low carb loaf bread pairs well with soups and salads as well.
This was a fairly tricky recipe to make because the issue with keto bread is the eggy flavor. You have to use eggs but they are so strong in the homemade keto bread recipes. This is due to the ingredients being super clean. You won’t find that issue in the store bought versions. So, one can argue they taste better but so many of them use wheat and undesirable oils in them. I have a trick that no one else has to keep my bread from tasting like eggs, keep reading!
What Is Keto Bread
Simply put its low carb bread. The idea behind the bread is making the best possible version of bread that can be used for sandwiches or a great pairing with a meal. I feel the best bread should be a neutral flavor and should be able to toast and adapt to the flavor of butter.

Can You Eat Bread On Keto
Yes, as long as it is a bread that is for the keto diet. The typical store bought bread is far from it. Having the keto label makes things better but learn and watch for ingredients. Homemade versions are made with almond flour, coconut flour or even things like flaxseed and psyllium husk.
How To Store
- Refrigerate, this is the easiest way to store the bed for quick use. I don’t recommend leaving the bread on the counter top for too long. The first day is fine but you need to wrap it in Saran Wrap and store it. The bread will keep in the refrigerator at least a week
- Freeze it, this bread freezes well for a few months. Simply store it in a freezer container or securely wrap it. When ready, allow it to thaw and serve as usual.
How To Make Keto Bread
Almond flour bread is really easy to make.
First, add almond flour, egg white powder, baking powder and yeast to a bowl. If using butter melt it down.
Next, add in egg, water and melted butter. Line a loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes. Bread should be hard and crusty on top to the touch when it’s done. If any portion fills airy don’t pull it out yet.
Remove, then allow it to cool a little and serve. This bread works perfectly with my keto French onion soup. It’s actually the reason I had to make it!
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Does it taste eggy? This can only be prevented by adding an additional flavor. I use egg whites which helps create that bread-like flavor and texture for toasting. But, if not paired with something you will get a light egg flavor if you don’t toast it. To prevent this I add yeast to my recipe. If you wonder if yeast is keto I have an entire video and blog post explaining it. The yeast will only provide flavor, without the addition of sugar it can’t activate to cause any rise. A option is adding things like flaxseed or even herbs will help. Whatever you use is what the bread will taste like.
- Can I use egg whites instead of powder, for this recipe I use the powder for several reasons. If you want to skip it I suggest using a recipe that uses that by another food blogger. There are several that have done this well.
- For best flavor, toast in or with butter. As mentioned above the bread takes the flavor of whatever you use. This includes when you toast it in butter. The flavor comes through very well!

- Line a 8 in loaf pan with parchment paper. Just the long sides. The short sides will release pretty well.
