Low-Carb Bread Recipe with Almond Flour

Enjoy this delicious, low-carb bread, perfect for sandwiches or as a side to any meal. It has 2g of net carbs per slice. Crafted with almond flour and a boost of psyllium husk powder for structure, this recipe gives you a loaf with a hearty texture and delightful nutty flavor—all while keeping your net carb count in check.

Below is a detailed recipe, complete with nutritional facts and exact quantities, to guide you every step of the way.


Low-Carb Bread Recipe Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • Almond Flour: 2 cups (approximately 192 g)
  • Psyllium Husk Powder: 3 tablespoons (approximately 18 g)
  • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon

Wet Ingredients:

  • Large Eggs: 4 (room temperature)
  • Olive Oil or Melted Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Boiling Water: 1 cup (240 mL)

Optional Extras:

  • Herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme): 1 teaspoon (for added flavor)
  • Sesame or Poppy Seeds: 1-2 tablespoons (for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Pan:
    • Grease a standard 8.5″ × 4.5″ loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond flour, 3 tablespoons psyllium husk powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder , and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. Optional Flavor Boost:
    • If using herbs, stir them into the dry mix for a fragrant twist.

3. Blend the Wet Ingredients

  1. Beat the Eggs:
    • In a separate bowl, lightly beat 4 large eggs until frothy.
  2. Incorporate Fats:
    • Mix in 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or melted butter) until fully combined.
  3. Add Boiling Water:
    • Carefully stir in 1 cucup ofoiling water. The hot water helps “activate” the psyllium husk, giving the dough a better structure and improved elasticity.

4. Combine and Rest the Dough

  1. Mix Together:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  2. Let It Rest:
    • Allow the dough to sit for 5 minutes. This resting period lets the psyllium husk absorb the water and expand, which is key to achieving a cohesive, sliceable loaf.

5. Shape, Bake, and Cool

  1. Transfer to Pan:
    • Spoon the dough into your prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth and level the top.
  2. Optional Topping:
    • Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds over the top for a pleasant crunch and extra flavor.
  3. Bake:
    • Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes. The bread is done when the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool Down:
    • Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cooling the bread prevents it from becoming gummy and ensures perfect slicing.

Tips and Variations of this Low-Carb Bread Recipe

  • Extra Moisture: If you prefer a slightly moister bread, try adding an extra egg or a splash of unsweetened almond milk.
  • Texture Adjustment: For a lighter texture, sift the almond flour before mixing; this can help prevent a dense final product.
  • Flavor Enhancements: Mix in a teaspoon of dried herbs or a pinch of garlic powder for a savory twist, or add a tablespoon of sweetener (like erythritol) and cinnamon for a subtly sweet variant.

Keto Bread Easy Recipes

If you’re following the ketogenic diet, you may be missing bread. I have a Keto Bread Easy Recipes that’s light on carbs, but strong enough to withstand sandwich fillings. Best of all, no special ingredients are needed! Eggs, cream of tartar, cream cheese, and salt are all that’s needed.

For this recipe, do I need cream of tartar?

This recipe only uses cream of tartar as a stabilizer. Basically, it helps you whip your egg whites to stiff peaks faster if you don’t have any cream of tartar, no worries!

Is it possible to add cheese to my Keto bread?

It’s a must! I recommend adding about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese per batch of bread. We like a mixture of mozzarella and parmesan.

What is the shelf life of these Keto bread/buns?

Your bread will last about 3 days at room temperature, but more like a week in the fridge. You can even freeze your bread. I recommend freezing them flat in resealable plastic bags with parchment paper between each piece. To reheat, toast them on a very low setting in your toaster oven. They burn easily!

Is this bread suitable for more than sandwiches?

The possibilities are endless! Cover a slice of bread with keto-friendly pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni, and broil for a delicious mini pizza; you could even make some Keto-bread bread pudding!

Yes, you CAN eat crackers on the keto diet, and this recipe is here to prove it. These Rosemary Keto Crackers are perfect with a cheese and charcuterie plate.

I have fancied them up with a bit of rosemary. It adds a savory flavor that can take a normal cracker to the next level.

Can I use all almond flour?

Yes! I like to use mostly almond flour, but I add a little coconut flour for a subtle sweetness.

What other herbs can I use?
