Keto Sourdough Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter (keto-friendly, if available)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sourdough Starter:
- If you don’t have a keto-friendly sourdough starter, you can create one by mixing 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of yeast (optional). Let it ferment at room temperature for 24-48 hours until bubbly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, eggs, olive oil, warm water, and the sourdough starter.
- Combine and Knead:
Stirring constantly, gradually incorporate the wet components into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. To make the dough smooth and elastic, knead it for five to ten minutes. - First Rise:
- After the dough has doubled in size, place it in a bowl that has been greased, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm location for one to two hours.
- Shape and Second Rise:
- Form the dough into a loaf by punching it down. Transfer the bread to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover and let it rise again for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool and Serve:
- Before slicing, let the bread cool fully on a wire rack. Enjoy toasted or as desired.
