Cooking methods

  • Baking

Preparation steps

  1. Gather and measure all your ingredients.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave or stovetop, whatever you prefer.
  3. Grease the Dutch oven with oil or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.

Cooking instructions

  1. Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and sea salt in a bowl.
  3. Whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar in a separate bowl until well combined.

  6. Put it in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top gets golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  7. Let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully take it out of the pan and let it finish cooling on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, slice up your homemade keto bread and enjoy a delicious, nutritious treat!

Chef's pro tip

After taking the keto bread out of the oven, it's tempting to take it out of the pan immediately. But don't rush it! Give it some time to cool down inside the pan for about 10-15 minutes. This waiting period helps the bread keep its shape and prevents it from breaking apart or sticking to the pan. Patience in this step will result in a perfect loaf!

What to serve with keto bread?

Pair your low-carb bread with these options for a healthy and delicious meal:

  • Grilled salmon: Have your bread with some Grilled Salmon and a side of Keto Kale Salad. It's a great combination of flavors.
  • Chicken tikka masala: For a rich and satisfying meal, try the bread with Chicken Tikka Masala.
  • Spreads: Enjoy the keto bread with a delicious olive spread like Classic Olive Tapenade, made from black and green olives, capers, and herbs.
  • Hummus: Our Keto Hummus, made with artichoke bottoms, creamy tahini paste, spices, and olive oil, goes well with this bread.

How to make it healthier?

  • Go organic: Opt for organic almond, coconut, and flaxseed flour to ensure you use the best ingredients.
  • Add herbs: Add some rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, or turmeric. These not only improve the flavor but are also beneficial.

Time-saving tips

  • Use store-bought almond flour: Buy pre-made almond flour instead of making it yourself at home.
  • Use food processor: If you have a food processor, use it to combine the wet ingredients quickly. This eliminates the need for manual mixing and makes the process faster.

Storage and reheating instructions

Storage tips

  • At room temperature: Keep the keto bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days.
  • In the refrigerator: Cool the leftover bread first, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in a sealed container. It'll stay tasty and fresh in the fridge for a week.
  • In the freezer: Cut the bread into slices and wrap each one in plastic wrap. Store them in a freezer-safe container in a freezer. They'll keep well for 2-3 months.

Best reheating practices

  • Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Put the bread on a baking sheet and warm it for 5-7 minutes or until it's heated.
  • Microwave: Keep your bread moist by wrapping the slices in a damp paper towel. Microwave each slice on high for 15-20 seconds or until hot.
  • Toaster: If you've sliced your bread thick enough, just pop the slices in the toaster. Toast them until they're warm and a little crispy.
