Keto Sourdough Bread

This keto sourdough bread is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional sourdough, featuring a tangy flavor, chewy texture, and only 3-5 grams of net carbs per slice. Perfect for sandwiches, toasts, or as a side dish.

  • Total Time: PT3H15M
  • Yield: 12 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup keto sourdough starter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Optional Add-Ons:

  • Fresh rosemary (1 teaspoon, chopped)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Starter

    • Combine ¼ cup almond flour with ¼ cup water to activate your keto sourdough starter. Let it sit in a warm spot for 4-6 hours or until bubbly.

  2. Mix the Dough

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt.
    • Add eggs and sourdough starter to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead lightly for a smooth consistency.

  3. Shape and Proof

    • Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a non-stick loaf pan. Cover with a towel and let it proof in a warm spot for 2-4 hours.

  4. Bake

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a small pan of water on the lower oven rack to create steam.
    • Bake the bread for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. Cool and Slice

    • Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Proofing: Keto sourdough bread will not double in size like traditional bread due to the absence of gluten. The dough should puff slightly during proofing—this is normal.
  • Ingredient Freshness: Ensure your psyllium husk is fresh and not expired, as it is crucial for the bread’s texture and structure.
  • Starter Care: A bubbly and active starter is essential for achieving the tangy flavor. If your starter isn’t active, try feeding it more frequently or keeping it in a warmer spot.
