Best Keto Bread
Best Keto Bread
What I am terribly lacking on keto is a bread. Well, you know, like Italian ciabatta, with a crispy crust on the outside and soft and tender flesh inside. However, baking from regular flour is a taboo on a low-carb diet. Therefore, I have to create my own bread. I’ve tried many recipes, but all of them were not similar to what I wanted to get as a result. One loaf has had an eggy taste, another was too dense, the third one suddenly was colored in purple. But just recently I found the ideal formula. This loaf with a crispy crust and a magical nutty aroma is, probably, the best keto bread I’ve ever baked.

With wet hands form a loaf and place it on a baking sheet. Make a few horizontal cuts on the surface. Sprinkle with oat fiber. You can use flax or sesame seeds instead.
