Tips

You can store the bread in the fridge for two to three days or slice it and freeze it for later use. Reheat at low temperature in the oven or microwave. You can even use the toaster for additional crispiness.

If you are looking for an excellent dish to go with the bread, try our Turkish baked shrimp recipe. Yum!

Not a fan of sesame seeds? Feel free to sub in poppy seeds or flaxseeds.

    100 ml of water = 100 g of water is correct but it's only good for water and most similar liquides. Actually, water measurements were used as the basis for the metric system. As explained above, there no such equivalence for non liquid ingredients like flours, sugar, etc

    Although mine is not light and fluffy like the photo, this is the first bread recipe that actually comes across as "bread" to me. I followed the updated recipe exactly with exception for adding a tbls of nutritional yeast like a previous poster.

    I didn't try making it before so can't remark on any differences in the updated recipe.

    I made this with using only olive oil and as I didn’t have sesame seeds, I used chia- it’s delicious and thank you for sharing this!

    Phil.Moore: I'm in Ireland, so use the same measuring system as yourself. I find it handy when using US recipes to use a measuring jug or beaker. 240ml on it is a cup, so half a cup will be 120ml etc. Alternatively, I google what a cup of a certain dry ingredient is in grams then work off that. Not ideal, but the vast majority of good keto recipes everywhere are US( i think they've alot more experience than us with this lifestyle)so its a small price to pay for good tasting food

    What is the serving size? How many calories and carbs are there per slice? It's hard to tell because the calorie number doesn't change even if you change the serving size.

    The default number of servings for this recipe is 8, so 1 serving is 1/8th of the total loaf. The nutrition information is always listed per serving, which is why the numbers don't change if you make fewer or more servings.

    I looked through the comments, but might have missed this. 350°F is *not* 200°C, it's 177°C (175 is good enough though). I hope I'm correct in assuming the baking temp is 350°F, giving this loaf a whirl later today.

    Thank you for letting the team know. We have now updated the instructions and can confirm it's meant to be 350*F (175*C). Hope that helps!

    I believe keeping the sesame oil would be the best option for this recipe. However, we have a variety of other bread recipes you may want to try! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/recipes/bread

    I have tried manyyyyyyy different "keto-friendly" bread recipes. Some were horrible and some were just plain not bread. This is the first recipe that I have ever found that actually has a familiar texture and feels like it really is bread. It makes a great sandwich and even better toast. This is truly a keeper.

    This is the best keto bread that I have made yet. I love it! I made it the first time with sesame oil but prefer it with all just olive oil. It is very easy to make and actually has the consistency of bread! I am going to try adding some olives or bacon to the next recipe!

    Does the accompanying video demonstrate the recipe for 12 servings? I am about to start making this and have pulled out 4 eggs, as per the recipe, which is for 8 servings. However, I decided just now to also watch the video before I start. The video shows 6 eggs in the bowl at the start.

    Hi, Charmaine! Yes, 6 eggs would be for 12 servings.
