Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: Add warm water, eggs, and melted butter to the bread machine pan, ensuring the ingredients are well combined but not mixed thoroughly yet.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, erythritol, salt, active dry yeast, and baking powder. Stir to distribute all components evenly.
- Add Dry to Wet: Carefully add the dry ingredient mixture on top of the wet ingredients in the bread machine pan without stirring them together manually. This layering helps the yeast activate correctly during the cycle.
- Set Bread Machine: Choose the gluten-free or basic bread setting on your bread machine, and select a medium crust option for balanced browning.
- Start and Bake: Start the bread machine and allow it to run the complete cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking phases to achieve optimal bread texture.
- Cool Bread: Once the baking cycle finishes, remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling ensures the bread sets firmly and slices without crumbling.
- Slice and Serve: Use a serrated knife to slice the bread after cooling. Serve as desired or store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Psyllium husk powder is crucial for mimicking the texture and structure of gluten-containing bread.
- Slicing bread while warm can cause crumbling; always wait until fully cooled.
- Store the bread refrigerated to extend freshness and prevent spoilage.
- Adjust sweetener quantities based on preference to keep the bread keto-compliant.
