How To Make Keto Bread

Keto Bread

Finding it hard to give up carbohydrates? This keto bread makes the switch much easier, easily being able to still have sandwiches and toast.





When you switch to a ketogenic diet, for most people it is very hard to give up carbohydrates such as bread and pasta. This keto bread makes the switch much easier, easily being able to still have sandwiches and toast.
I didn’t want to release a keto bread recipe without finding the perfect mix of ingredients that I thought was right.
Most bread recipes can taste very eggy, or crumble very easily. This one binds really well with the addition of xanthium gum, holding all the goodness together.

Incredibly soft, fluffy, pillowy milk bread made using a water roux starter allows bread to stay fresh for longer without needing to use artificial preservatives. once you try it, your house will smell like a bakery. I love the smell of fresh baked bread and this sandwich bread is so awesome and uses all natural ingredients is what I fall in love with being in the kitchen and you will not buy from the bakery again. Homemade is always best made!
