Keto Almond Flour Yeast Bread for Weight Loss on Keto. (2024)

This Keto almond yeast bread recipe is the bomb. It is one of the first Keto Breads that I ever made myself, and it turned out AMAZING!

So many Keto breads are either full of cheese or full of eggy-ness. I don’t mind either of those things but sometimes I just want some crusty yeast bread. This is the perfect answer.

This is better than any Low Carb store bought bread.

Keto Almond Flour Yeast Bread for Weight Loss on Keto. (1)

Since this bread needs to rise and is not a quick bread like other Keto Bread Recipes, we recommend that you read the whole post and maybe even the comments if you are new to bread baking.

If you just want a super quick and easy Keto English Muffin recipe, you can try that out too. It’s perfect for weekday mornings.

METRIC MEASUREMENTS ARE IN THE RECIPE CARD~

🥘Ingredients:

1 cup Vital Wheat Gluten

Yes, gluten. I know that there might be some information out there insisting that gluten is bad for you. But unless you are sensitive to gluten, this ingredient shouldn’t cause concern.

It’s a low carb ingredient that is necessary for this recipe to work.

If you can’t use gluten, the easiest option is to choose another low carb bread recipe. We have a BUNCH.

1 1/4 cup Almond Flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder

Make sure you are using fresh baking powder in this recipe. I don’t mean that you need to open a brand new can…

But, if you can’t remember when you last replaced your baking powder it might be time.

2 1/4 teaspoons Dry yeast

Fresh LIVE yeast is the key here. I keep my yeast in the freezer and it lasts forever.

You can tell if the yeast is live by “blooming” it. We’ll go over that in the instructions though…

2 teaspoons sugar to activate the yeast

I have gotten a lot of comments about this ingredient.

Sugar isn’t low carb! This isn’t Keto! You’re the devil, blah blah and so on.

FIRST:

The yeast consumes the sugar when it’s “activated”.

The 8.4 grams of carbs from the 2 teaspoons of sugar in this loaf of bread NEVER reach your bloodstream. The yeast eats the sugar and breaks it down.

It’s just the science of how it works.

SECOND: You can use the same amount of inulin powder if you don’t want to use the sugar.

It works.

It doesn’t get quite the same fast response and you might need to “bloom” your yeast for a bit longer to really get it going.

See the photo in the instructions if you aren’t sure how active yeast should look.

1 1/8 cup Water lukewarm 100 degrees Fahrenheit – 38 Celsius

This is super important! If the water is too hot, you kill your poor yeast.

If the water is too cold…it continues to sleep and won’t do it’s job. 100-108F is the sweet spot.

If you don’t have an instant thermometer, get one! Or test it like you would for baby bath water…on your wrist or the inside of your elbow.

3 tablespoons Olive Oil

Use any kind of oil you like. We use olive oil in this recipe.

You can read all about healthy (and not so healthy) fat here.

👩🏾‍🍳How to make the Keto Almond Yeast Bread:

Mix the sugar, water and yeast together in a small bowl. Let the yeast dissolve and become bubbly.

This will take 5-10 minutes (this is how you activate the yeast and make sure it is still “good”. It should go from looking like coffee with cream to expanding to about double and getting bubbly like the image below).

In a mixing bowl thoroughly mix all of the dry ingredients except the yeast and sugar. (gluten, almond flour, salt & baking powder.)

Add the water/yeast mixture and oil to the dry ingredients and mix into a dough.

Knead for about 1 to 2 minutes.

You can tell it’s ready when it forms a ball and gets spoingy (you’ll know what I mean once you start kneading).

Note: if you knead the dough for too long it will get rubbery and you need to stop.

Put the dough in an oiled bread pan and set in warm (100 degree Fahrenheit) oven for about 35-45 minutes, to allow the dough to rise.

I do this in the toaster oven. The dough should rise and puff up at least 25 – 50%.

📋Tips & FAQ’s:

Can I substitute anything else for the Gluten?

No. This recipe must have the gluten included to work. If you are gluten free, check out the other bread recipes.

Only the yeast breads contain gluten.

You can find a ton of “gluten free” low carb bread recipes here…

I am allergic to nuts, can I substitute Coconut Flour?

Coconut flour absorbs moisture differently. You can find the Coconut flour yeast bread recipe here. It doesn’t taste like coconut and I LOVE it.

It actually seems to rise a little higher too.

Sugar isn’t low carb! You Suck!

For real….people have said this to me.

😂…Use the inulin if you don’t trust the science that says that the carbs will be consumed by the live yeast. No biggie.

Does it work as well? Usually. If all of your ingredients are fresh this method is fine to use.

Make sure your yeast is fully bloomed before continuing.

Can this bread be frozen?

Yes! You can freeze it whole or sliced so that you can thaw it out in portions. But it’ll last in the fridge for up to a week.

Can I make rolls or buns with this dough?

Yes, I have done it many times now. I use them for Crock Pot Philly Cheese Steak sammies…

Note: they make for very chewy rolls..not fluffy.

Just make sure to separate and shape your buns before you knead it for too long.

The dough becomes difficult to work after kneading for a while.

The gluten starts bonding and the rising process begins during kneading and you don’t want to interfere. Low carb bread has to work harder to measure up to it’s carby counterpart.

Work quickly during this stage.

Cooking times will depend on how big the buns or rolls are. Start at 15 minutes and check….

I think that’s all for the Keto Almond Flour Yeast Bread!

Equipment

Mixing Bowl

8×4 Bread Pan

toaster oven

Ingredients

1 cup Vital Wheat Gluten (120 g)
1 ¼ cup Almond Flour (140 g)
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
2 ¼ teaspoons Dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar to activate the yeast – You can use inulin as well. See the post about this ingredient.
1⅛ cup Water (266 ml) lukewarm 100 degrees Fahrenheit – 38 Celsius
3 tablespoons Oil

Instructions

Mix the sugar, water and yeast together in a small bowl to bloom the yeast.
Let the yeast dissolve and become bubbly. This will take 5-10 minutes ( this is how you activate the yeast and make sure it is still "good". It should go from looking like coffee with cream to expanding and getting bubbly like this image.
In a mixing bowl thoroughly mix all of the dry ingredients except the yeast and sugar. (gluten, almond flour, salt & baking powder.)
Add the water/yeast mixture and oil to the dry ingredients and mix into a dough.
Knead for about 1 to 2 minutes making sure that all of the ingredients are evenly combined. Note: if you knead the dough for too long it will get rubbery and you need to stop.
Put the dough in an oiled bread pan and set in warm (100 degree Fahrenheit) oven for about 25 – 40 minutes, to allow the dough to rise.
I do this in the toaster oven. The dough should rise above the pan.
Without punching the dough down, place in a pre-heated 350 F oven and cook for 35 to 45 minutes.
If you don't have a toaster oven and are using a big oven, remove bread while you are pre-heating so that it doesnt sink. See post if you need clarification.
Wait until this bread is completely cool to slice it. Store in a zipper bag in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Use a 8*4 inch bread pan for a beautifully puffy bread.
