Why you want to make your own
Aside from this keto bread tasting absolutely perfect, here are all of the other reasons that making from scratch is totally worth it:
- Less Expensive: Have you tried to buy low-carb bread at the grocery store? Or maybe a gluten-free loaf from your local specialty bakery? Plan to spend upwards of six dollars for a small loaf. There's no such thing as $1.99 keto bread, sorry. Making from scratch is going to save you a ton of money.
- Convenient: You know when you're hungry and you don't really want to cook anything? Grabbing a sandwich or some toast with almond butter is the easiest and fastest way to solve that problem, so have a loaf handy.
- Satisfying: If you miss bread, now you can enjoy a slice of bread with only 3 grams net carbs per serving. In comparison, a slice of white bread has 17 grams.
- Reasonable Serving Size: Other recipes might give you nutrition information for a loaf a bread cut into 20 or more servings. This recipe gives you 12 servings for the carb count, which means that you can have two slices for one serving!

Key ingredients
Each of the ingredients in this recipe are extremely important. Leaving any of them out or changing things too much will not result in the beautiful loaf of bread you see in the images. I've done the recipe testing for you already, so you can just make this recipe exactly as it's written!
Butter - Melt the butter to add to the dough. Salted or unsalted butter will work in this recipe, you can adjust the amount of added salt if you need to.
Avocado Oil - While you could use all butter or all oil, I find that the combination of both gives the best texture.
Liquid Stevia - A bit of sweetness helps to balance the richness of the butter, and take away the eggy flavor that you might notice otherwise.
Apple Cider Vinegar - This ingredient may seem out of place, but it makes a big difference in this recipe. Vinegar helps to make the crumb of this bread tender and soft.
Gelatin - Another ingredient you might not expect in a bread recipe, but nobody ever said that keto baking doesn't take some creativity, right? Gelatin, along with the eggs, helps to hold this bread together. It also creates a chewy texture, mimicking what wheat gluten does in regular bread. Dissolve the gelatin in 3 teaspoons of boiling water.
Fine Almond Flour - My preference is to use finely milled almond flour whenever I'm baking. I suggest you use it here. Avoid trying to substitute with coconut flour or another keto flour, they won't work in this recipe that was developed specifically for almond flour.

How to make keto bread
In a large bowl add the eggs, melted butter, oil, stevia, apple cider vinegar, and dissolved gelatin. Mix well until combined. These are your wet ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. This bowl contains your dry ingredients.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients mixture, stirring until well combined.
Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan, and bake in a preheated oven as directed in the recipe below. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.

Tips and variations
You can use ½ teaspoon xanthan gum in place of the gelatin if you like. Dissolve it the same way, in 3 tablespoons of hot water.
Top your keto bread with sesame seeds, coarse salt, or bagel seasoning before baking.

Storage instructions
Countertop: Can be stored at room temperature and will stay fresh for up to 3 days in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Don't slice the loaf until you're ready to eat it or it will dry out. Just slice what you need when you're hungry.
Freezing: This bread freezes very well! You can freeze the whole unsliced loaf and then thaw when you're ready. This works with half a loaf too, if you don't think you'll eat the whole thing in a few days.
You can also freeze slices separately. They can easily be thawed in the microwave or toaster and will taste just-baked. I like to slice the loaf and then place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I freeze the slices for about an hour this way, then transfer them to a ziplock bag.
Eat within 3 months of freezing it for the best flavor.
