Bread is one of the foods you absolutely have to avoid on the ketogenic diet.
In fact, 1 slice of whole-grain toast contains 12 grams of carbohydrates.
This carb content is hefty when a keto diet has you lower your carb intake to 5-10% of your total calories.
But luckily, by using almond flour in lieu of wheat flour, you can make bread that’s keto-friendly in low carb.
The best part is, that it doesn’t crumble or come out of a toaster in one piece.
It’s a perfect sandwich bread that replaces any glutinous bread.
Because this recipe doesn’t use yeast, you don’t need to raise it. All it takes is 45 minutes including 30 minutes of baking time.
It’s super easy and fail-proof.
If you are ready, let’s get started on this delicious low-carb, gluten-free almond bread.
