Keto Sourdough Bread Recipe Ingredients and Instructions are as below:

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/2 cup coconut flour

• 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup warm water

• 3 large eggs

• 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
• Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil (or melted butter), apple cider vinegar, and warm water until smooth.
• Add the yeast: If you’re using active dry yeast or a sourdough starter for flavor, add it to the wet ingredients and mix well. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes if using yeast.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It will be slightly thick and sticky.
• Shape the dough: Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
• Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
• Serve and enjoy! Slice the bread and serve it with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

FAQs

Q: Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
A: Coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so you’ll need to adjust the recipe. Use about 1/3 cup coconut flour and increase the eggs or liquid.

Q: How do I get the sourdough flavor without traditional sourdough starter?
A: Use apple cider vinegar or a keto-friendly sourdough starter made with almond flour and water.

Q: Can I make this bread without psyllium husk?
A: Psyllium husk is essential for the bread’s texture, but you can try substituting with ground flaxseed or chia seeds (though the texture may differ).

Q: Is this bread gluten-free?
A: Yes, as long as all your ingredients are gluten-free, this bread is suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Q: Can I add seeds or nuts to the bread?
A: Absolutely! Add sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
