Keto Bread
I have tested a lot of keto breads and this is the best keto bread recipe!
Sure, keto friendly bread is now available at the grocery store; however, many of those low carb loaves contain gluten - which is not ideal on the keto diet. This recipe for fluffy easy keto bread with almond flour is gluten-free and tastes like actual bread without being dense and it's around 2 grams of carbs per slice!

There a number of keto bread recipes that I make regularly: keto bread roll, keto cinnamon roll and this bread recipe. Why? Because unlike other gluten-free, low carb bread recipes, this one doesn’t end up some short, flat loaf resembling a brick rather than a freshly, baked fluffy loaf of bread.
Do you remember the days when your mom would bake a loaf of bread? I sure do! Actually, it was pretty rare when she made homemade bread, but maybe that’s why I remember it. Warm, fragrant, and fresh from the oven – nothing beats that smell or flavor. Traditional, carb loaded wheat based bread is not allowed on the keto diet; however, it’s easy to make a low carb loaf of bread in around 30 minutes with this recipe.
Why try this recipe?
- There’s no need to buy keto bread from the store. Not only is it expensive, but it also contains vital wheat protein. So it may be zero carbs; however, wheat protein still contains gluten.
Many of us try to avoid gluten on the keto diet as it can cause weight gain, bloating and inflammation. This recipe homemade keto bread with almond flour is your solution so you can enjoy a sliced bread with your sandwiches, French toast or served next to some lasagna!
- It’s all about the crust! Some keto bread recipes, don’t develop a crispy exterior that surrounds the soft, tender crumb inside. This keto bread has the best of both worlds – a prominent crunchy crust that traps the freshness and quality from the spongy interior.
- No crazy ingredients to buy! Unlike other keto bread recipes that call for less common ingredients like psyllium husk, xanthan gum or vital wheat protein. With just some minimal ingredients that can be found in most keto pantries and refrigerators you can make a delicious loaf of gluten free bread that the whole family will love.
So whip up a batch today and enjoy those sweet memories with your loved ones while they last 🙂

Keto Bread Directions
-
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
-
Melt cheeses
Add shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 60 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
Quick Tip
Don't want to use a microwave, melt both in a non-stick skillet over medium love heat on the stovetop. -
Pulse until dough forms
To a food processor, add melted cheese, eggs, almond flour, protein powder, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse until combined.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unflavored protein powder or egg white protein powder
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Quick Tip
Don't have a food processor, try using a blender, electric mixer or can knead ingredients together with your hands. -
Place almond flour bread dough in a loaf pan
Add the bread dough to a loaf pan lined with parchment paper and coated with cooking spray.
Quick Tip
I used a 9 x 5 loaf pan. The narrower your loaf pan, the taller your loaf will be. -
Bake
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30-32 minutes. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before removing from the loaf pan.
Quick Tip
May need to cook longer depending on the size of your oven and loaf pan. Check after 30 minutes, insert a knife to see if it comes out clean. Bake until crust is golden brown. Bread may deflate slightly as it cools.
Hello. Are the calories listed for one serving of bread or for the whole loaf? Thank you, M
The calories are for one serving.
Highly Recommend!
Just made the bread today, and it is DELICIOUS! I cut a piece when still hot, just after the 5 minute rest, and the butter melted right into the bread. My son, who is not eating keto, took a bite and his eyes lit up with appreciation for the taste. I did use vanilla flavored protein powder, as I did not have any unflavored on hand, it it gives the bread a more ‘dessert’ type flavor.
I would like a little more rise to the bread, though, so I may try the next round with double the baking powder/baking soda combination, just to see if I can get the rise to be more consistent with other types of non-keto breads.
