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:

1. 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.

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.

1. Mix Wet Ingredients:

• In another bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, eggs, olive oil, warm water, and the sourdough starter.

1. 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.
2. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Before slicing, let the bread cool fully on a wire rack. Enjoy toasted or as desired.
