The keto bread
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups 300 ml (150 g) almond flour
- 5 tbsp 5 tbsp (40 g) ground psyllium husk powder
- 2 tsp 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
- 1 tsp 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp 2 tsp cider vinegar
- 1 cup 225 ml boiling water
- 3 3 egg whiteegg whites
- 2 tbsp 2 tbsp (20 g) sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Bring the water to a boil and add it, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while beating with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don't over mix the dough, the consistency should resemble Play-Doh.
- Moisten hands and make 6 pieces of the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake on lower rack in the oven for 50–60 minutes, depending on the size of your bread. They're done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the bun.
- Serve with butter and toppings of your choice.

Can I substitute ingredients?
In all baking, and especially in low-carb baking, the ingredients and amounts used are important. The eggs and ground psyllium husk are hard to replace in this recipe.
If you don't like almond flour or if you have an allergy, you can make this recipe with coconut flour instead. Substitute the amount of almond flour for a third as much of coconut flour and double the number of egg whites.
For a different look and some crunch, sprinkle seeds on the buns before you pop them into the oven – poppy seeds, sesame seeds or why not some salt flakes and herbs?
Flavor your bread with your favorite seasoning to make them perfect for what ever you're serving them with. You can use garlic powder, crushed caraway seeds or your homemade bread seasoning.
Troubleshooting
Do your buns end up with a slightly purple color? That can happen with some brands of psyllium husk. Try with another brand, like this one. For more information, check out our low-carb baking guide.
Origin
This recipe is adapted from a bread recipe by Maria Emmerich. She has been experimenting for over a year to develop the perfect keto bread recipe, and this is the result of her efforts.
Tip!
This recipe is so versatile and can be used in a number of ways. You can easily turn it into hot dog buns, hamburger buns or garlic bread.
What do you do with the three leftover egg yolks? Béarnaise sauce, of course! Check out our recipes for Béarnaise sauce and chili-flavored Béarnaise sauce.

Do you mean the amount of almond flour PLUS a third, or just use one third of the amount stated in the recipe?
So since this is 1 1/4 cups of almond flour, it would be 1/3 C, 1T and 1t of coconut flour.
2. No one responded to the “not getting done on inside “despite baking at 1.5 hours- I had that problem also. So maybe it’s the psyllium? Or maybe it’s something else we’re doing wrong, but I want to make these rolls!!!! Please help
Hopefully this could work:

They tasted great with a bit of butter on them - the sea salt and cider vinegar in the recipe gives them a good balance of acidity and flavour, it almost gives it a yeasty taste. If it didn't know any better, I might have believed these were some sort of artisanal bread.
Definitely going to keep making a supply of these, bread has been something i've missed since going Keto. The only real problem with them is that almond flour is quite expensive (a 500g bag cost me £10), but now I know how to make these, I can probably shop around for a cheaper source.
Seeing you said you paid 10£. Try "Whitworths Ground Almonds" they are on Amazon, £5.30 for 750g (5 x 150g), they are quite often on sale (last time in asda 150g for £1.
Hope that helps ;)
