    Ingredients in the best keto bread recipes

    Ingredients for keto bread - almond flour, psyllium husk powder, eggs, bagel seasoning, nutritional yeast, baking soda

    Ingredients Notes

    Giving credit where credit is due - This keto bread recipe is my take on the famous Diet Doctor Rolls, which were actually an original recipe from Maria Emmerich. I made a few tweaks and changes to put my own delicious spin on things.

    • Blanched almond flour: For this recipe I recommend using a blanched almond flour, or a super fine almond flour. It will give this keto bread recipe a better texture.
    • Psyllium husks: Psyllium husk can be a tricky ingredient to work with as not all brands are created equal. In fact, some brands will turn these keto sandwich buns purple. Here is the brand of psyllium husk powder that I recommend.
    • Egg whites: The egg whites help provide structure and strength to dough for this low carb bread recipe.
    • Nutritional yeast: The addition of nutritional yeast in this recipe gives this keto bread recipe a slightly cheesy flavor. It is similar to the flavor that Parmesan cheese would add. This is the brand that I use.
    • Everything bagel seasoning: While this used to be a hard ingredient to find, you can now find it in stores everywhere. However, I like to make my own. Check out my Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe. (If you don't want to make it, here is my favorite store-bought brand).

    Step by Step Instructions

    How to make the best keto bread recipe

    STEP 1: Put an oven rack in the lower third position. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, nutritional yeast, baking powder, and salt until there are no visible clumps. (more keto bread recipes)

    STEP 2: Add the egg whites and vinegar to the bowl.

    STEP 3: Using a rubber spatula, mix while slowly pouring in the hot water. Continue to mix just until the ingredients are well combined; be careful not to overmix the dough.

    STEP 4: Moisten your hands and divide the dough into 4 equal parts, then shape them into hamburger-sized buns. Put the buns on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the bagel seasoning over the tops of the buns. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the buns have doubled in size, are crisp on top, and make a hollow sound when you thump them. Allow to cool before slicing.

    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • Storage: I recommend wrapping this keto bread recipe in paper towels and then in foil and storing them on the counter.
    • Freezing: I like to make a double or triple batch and freeze them for later. When I am ready to use them, I set them out on the counter to thaw.
    • Note about the bagel seasoning: If you have a store-bought version that has really toasted minced garlic and onion, you may want to omit the seasoning or add it halfway through cooking so that it does not become burned or bitter.
    • Make a sandwich: Pile on some of my my Slow Cooker Keto Barbecue Pulled Pork to make a pulled pork sandwich.
    • Use the yolks: Don't let the egg yolks go to waste. Use them to make this delicious Homemade Hollandaise Sauce.
    • Make ahead: To make this recipe even easier, I like to pre-mix several batches of the dry ingredients and store them in my pantry in air-tight containers. Then, when I am ready to make this keto bread recipe, all I have to do is add the wet ingredients, mix, shape, and bake! I use these jars and these lids. They fit a full batch of the dry ingredients just perfectly.
    • Seasonings: In place of the everything bagel seasoning, these are also delicious topped with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even plain. (more homemade spice and seasoning blends)
    • Brush the top with butter and garlic: For a buttery, garlicky, keto sandwich roll, skip the bagel seasoning and brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with a little bit of garlic powder. You can do this before baking, or during the last 5 minutes of baking.
    • Other uses: Shape them into hot dog buns, hamburger buns, dinner rolls, sub rolls, you name it! The possibilities are endless. I even like to toast them and use them in place of English muffins for eggs benedict. (check out my Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe)

    What to make with these Keto Everything Buns

    Make Keto Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches: or any kind of sandwich for that matter. These can even be shaped into sub rolls. Keto meatball sub, anyone? (check out my Keto Barbecue Dry Rub Ribs Recipe)

    keto bread recipe piled high with jalapeno popper chicken salad

    Make Keto Jalapeno Popper Chicken Salad Sandwiches: Are you noticing a trend here with the sandwiches? I am a big fan of keto sandwiches. It's a food I just never get tired of. Plus, they are perfect for meal prep or for packing for quick and easy weekday lunches. (Check out my Dill Chicken Salad Recipe)

    a bowl of gluten free, low carb croutons in a white bowl

    Make these Garlic and Herb Keto Croutons: Missing that crunchy salad topper we all know and love? This keto sandwich bun recipe also makes for amazing keto croutons. This crouton recipe is an exclusive for my Patreon group. You can get it here.

    open face breakfast sandwich with egg, goat cheese, pickled red onion, microgreens and avocado

    Make an Epic Keto Breakfast Sandwich: Toast these buns and make keto avocado toast or a breakfast sandwich. I like to slather on some butter, grill the bun butter side down like you would a grilled cheese sandwich, and then top it with mashed avocado, sausage, goat cheese, a yolky egg with my Herby Everything Seasoning, pickled red onions, and microgreens. It is "chef's kiss" delicious!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is blanched almond flour?

    Blanched almond flour is made with almonds that have had the skins removed. As a result, it is lighter and fluffier and works better in baking.

    What can I use in place of psyllium husks?

    The psyllium husk in this recipe is an essential ingredient and I do not recommend any substitutions.

    Can I use carton egg whites in place of fresh egg whites in a recipe?

    While I recommend using fresh egg whites, carton egg whites will also work in a pinch.

    Why did my buns turn purple?

    Some brands of psyllium husk powder will result in purple rolls. To avoid this, I recommend using this brand.

      Can this be baked in a bread loaf pan?

      LOVE this recipe! I used a different brand of the psyllium and had purple buns but they were still amazing!! Thank you so much for bringing low carb bread back into my life in an affordable way. Very easy to make, too.

      Absolutely delicious! I’ve made these buns several times. They’re easy to make and taste great for a keto bun. They don’t taste like store-bought keto rolls, but I like that I know what’s in them.

      I didn't quite believe the hype from the comments, but as a longtime searcher of good keto bread, I think I've finally found the one!
      Super easy to make following the recipe exactly; I did the garlic butter glaze at the end of baking, and it comes through deliciously. I will be sure to toast it going forward as I think that'll only help with texture, but I'm very happy to have found such a simple recipe that gives me the joy of eating bread again! Thanks so much 🙂

      This is so good! If you have the ingredients, it takes all of 12 minutes to make the dough. I'll add that I've tried a few modifications and nothing compares to the original. Just stick to the recipe! So good with butter or avocado and a great bun for any burger.

      This is the best Keto bread recipe I’ve ever tried. A friend came over as the buns were coming out of the oven. I shared one and she could hardly believe how delicious it tasted. She insisted I pass along the recipe! So yummy and easy! I modify the toppings to match my meal and change the size depending on what I’m eating them with. Thank you for making my Keto lifestyle yummier!
