Here's a good keto bread option, baked with almond and coconut flour. It's compact and very satisfying. One or two slices with plenty of toppings will go a long way.

Ingredients
- 1 cup 250 ml (125 g) almond flour
- ¾ cup 175 ml (100 g) coconut flour
- 51⁄3 tbsp 80 ml (50 g) sesame seeds
- ½ cup 120 ml (75 g) flaxseed
- ¼ cup 60 ml (30 g) ground psyllium husk powder
- 3 tsp 3 tsp (15 g) baking powder
- 1 tsp 1 tsp ground fennel seeds or ground caraway seeds
- 1 tsp 1 tsp salt
- 6 6 eggeggs
- 7 oz. 200 g cream cheese
- ½ cup 125 ml melted butter or melted coconut oil
- ¾ cup 175 ml heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp 1 tbsp (10 g) poppy seeds or sesame seeds
Instructions
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature, that way it blends better.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix all dry ingredients, except the seeds for the topping (poppy or sesame seeds) in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk all remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Add the dry mixture to the batter and mix thoroughly. Place the dough in a greased bread pan, about 4 x 7 inches (non-stick or use parchment paper).
- Bake for about 45 minutes on the lower rack in the oven. Prick the bread with a knife to see if it's ready, it should come out clean. Take it out of the oven and remove the bread from the form.
- Remove the parchment paper and let the loaf cool on a rack. If the loaf is allowed to cool in the form the crust will be soggy.
- Serve it freshly baked with your favorite toppings.
Serving suggestions
This bread is great for toasting and can also be used to make your favorite sandwiches. Fill it with bacon, lettuce and tomato for an awesome BLT or serve it as a side to your favorite low-carb or keto soup.
Storing the bread
This bread needs to be stored in the fridge or in the freezer. When stored in the fridge it keeps up to 5 days. If you want to store it in the freezer we suggest slicing it before doing so. Place a bit of parchment paper between each slice to make single servings easier. Thaw the bread in the fridge or in room temperature and then toast it for best flavor.

Strict keto per Phinney & Volek max 20g carbs per day.
Nice recipe but definitely NOT KETO
We count net carbs ( = Total carbs - fiber )
Thanks so much for this recipe, it is a keeper!
"The thing is that in order to make a perfect grain-free bread, you need to take a little extra time to add the ingredients in the appropriate fashion to end up with amazing bread."
1. Coconut flour - Always sift. Always use the required number of eggs (usually an average of 6)
2. Almond flour - grainier. Blanched is finer flour; meal is coarser and heartier.
3. Always sift coconut flour, salt, and baking powder together to remove clumps and lumps.
4. Cream sweeeners and softened fat together, rather than melting.
5. Use room temperature eggs.
6. Add egg yolks to creamed fat.
7. Whip the egg whites separately in the larger bowl.
8. Add creamed fat mixture to the egg whites. Fold in fat, then dry ingredients, gently.
- I beat the liquid mixture by hand, big mistake. I have little pieces of cream cheese throughout the loaf though they are too small to taste. Electric mixer next time.
- I have a 4x7 pan but realized when I mixed the dry ingredients that would be too small. 5x8 worked better.
- The loaf didnt rise very much if at all, doen't know if it should or not.
- The parchemnt paper worked great, it took several hours to cool on a rack before I could cut it.
- I did get exactly 20 slices by eyeballing it, just dumb luck on my part. Bread is firm and stays together in the toaster.
- The fresh slice tasted great, I froze the rest and have one with breakfast. Tastes very good and is etremely filling, I toast it from frozen about 3 times longer then I would toast a normal slice of white bread.
- It is a little expensive but stays wilh me all day, negating the need to snacking all day, probably lowering my total overall food bill.
I am not on strict keto but following a low carb diet. Healthwise I feel better, have lost about 5 % of my body weight and am looking forward to my next round of bloodwork at the clinic to see how my blood sugar, colesteral and BP numbers are changing.
I won't be making this again!
Eg: 1serve=20gr=2g net carbs
Thanks
