INTRODUCTION:
Bread…it forms the backbone of so many of our meals that “giving it
up” when you go Keto can seem like a nightmare!

But most wheat bread is so over-processed, high in carbs, low in


nutrients, and high in inflammatory ingredients like gluten that it’s
impossible to enjoy all the health benefits of Keto without cutting them
out.

Luckily, with this cookbook, you can once again enjoy the soft bite of
a loaf of bread, the crunch of a cracker, and the melt-in-your-mouth
sensation of muffins.

But you should know upfront that Keto breads are different to wheat
bread or even other gluten-free breads...

Because there is zero gluten in any of these recipes, you won’t get
that stretchy dough Paul Hollywood demands from contestants on The
Great British Bake Off. And because Keto bread doesn’t need yeast
to “eat” the sugars in the flour (since we’ll be using low carb flours),
you also don’t need to proof the bread. This results in a faster and
easier bake!

You’ll get to experience all the different methods of creating


scrumptious Keto breads by following the recipes in this cookbook,
but here are a few basic tips to help you navigate this new baking
arena:
5
Tip 1:

There are only a few Keto flours but they can create unique
textures as well as flavors.

• Almond Flour: The most popular and versatile is almond flour.


You can even make your own if you can’t find it in stores. Just food
process whole almonds until they form a fine meal (make sure your
food processor is completely dry) . However, you won’t be able to
make a very fine flour at home. And be sure to pay attention when
you are running the food processor or your almonds will turn into
almond butter in no time!

• Walnut and other Nut Flours: You can food process any nuts (or
even a blend of nuts) to create your own nut flours. Walnut and
pecan flours can be used instead of almond flour in the recipes to
create unique flavors.

• Coconut Flour: One of the most important things to remember


is that you cannot substitute 1-to-1 coconut flour with a nut flour.
Coconut flour is made from desiccated and defatted coconut flakes
so they’re naturally drier and crumblier than most nut flours. This
can be useful when you’re making a bread that’s naturally drier
or needs to be crunchier like flatbread or toasted bread. Often
it’s best to mix a small amount of coconut flour with a nut flour to
create a blend. If you’re using just coconut flour in a recipe, then
make sure there are enough binding agents to keep it from falling
apart.
6
Tip 2:

Keto dough will appear crumblier than regular dough so


handle with care and make sure you use binding agents
like these:

• Chia or Flax: When ground into a meal and mixed with water,
chia and flax become sticky and can act as a great binding agent.

• Eggs: This is an obvious one you’ve probably used in regular


dough.

• Xanthan Gum: we don’t recommend using this in all the dishes but
for some breads, a little bit can make all the difference in giving it
more volume and preventing it from falling apart.

• Gelatin: This especially helps the bread keep its structure once it’s
cooled to room temperature but you’ll need to be careful when
the bread is hot (as it can fall apart more easily) and also not to
refrigerate it (as it’ll give it a slightly chewy texture).

Tip 3:

Adding vegetables and unique flavors to your breads will


make them way more exciting and delicious.

• Cauliflower: Cauliflower is an amazing low carb vegetable…


it can be used to create “rice”-like dishes as well as cooked into
a potato-like mash or soup! But cauliflower can also be used
7
in baking to create flatbreads. Just make sure to pat dry your
cauliflower before using.

• Zucchini: Zucchini is another amazing low carb vegetable…it can


be used to create noodles in all sorts of shapes and it’ll soak up the
flavors of your sauces too. But zucchini can also be incorporated
into your breads. Just make sure to squeeze out excess water from
the zucchini before adding.

• Avocado: This versatile fruit can also be used in baking! Its high
fat content means it’ll produce a creaminess to your bread without
the extra butter!

• Flavor Extracts: Vanilla extract, banana extract, and other fruit


extracts are great ways of recreating traditional high carb treats
without having to add in that specific fruit. So you can enjoy fewer
carbs without sacrificing flavor.

Tip 4:

Experiment and enjoy! Most traditional baking advice


doesn’t apply to Keto baking because there’s no gluten (or
any substance similar to gluten) in any of the Keto flours!
So, enjoy the recipes in this cookbook, test out your own
new ones and have fun in the process!

3-Ingredient Bread
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS
• 1 oz (30 g) pork rinds
• 1/4 cup (30 g) almond flour (see notes)
• 4 egg whites, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon (1 ½ g) cream of tartar (optional, but recommended - see notes)
• Dash of salt

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch (23 cm x 33 cm)
baking tray and set aside.
2. Use a food processor or blender to process the pork rinds into a crumb-like texture.
Place the pork rind crumbs in a medium bowl and combine with the almond flour. Set
aside until ready to use.
3. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites with the optional
cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat the egg
white.
4. Gently fold the pork rinds mixture into the whipped egg whites using a rubber spatula
to incorporate. Gently spread the mixture into the prepared baking tray to form a
1/2-inch (1.5 cm) thick layer that fills half of the tray.
5. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the bread is
slightly golden on top and a cake tester of toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean.
6. Remove the tray from the oven and let cool completely before slicing and serving as a
sandwich or by itself. Store leftovers in a sealed container for 2 to 3 days.

NOTES:
• You can replace the almond flour with an additional 1 oz (30 g) of pork rinds to
lower the carbs even further.
• The cream of tartar helps the egg whites to form stiff peaks. You can use 1 teaspoon
(5 ml) of lemon juice instead of cream of tartar, but the lemon juice doesn’t work as
well as cream of tartar. Either can be omitted from the recipe, if desired.
