Most keto bread recipes lack a special ingredient that most high carb baked doughs have. An ingredient that when it wafts past your nose it instantly turns your senses on and also makes your keto bread light and fluffy.
Secret For The Best Keto Bread
The secret ingredient that makes this keto bread so good is yeast. Yeast is what gives this keto bread recipe a cut above the rest.
Yep, we know, “yeast”. The reason that yeast is left out of keto bread recipes is that commonly it requires sugar to rise.
What most people don’t know is that you can bake using a natural product called inulin instead.
Inulin (not “insulin”) is a soluble prebiotic fiber that is food for the yeast to consume (like it also feeds on sugar) allowing our keto bread recipe to rise and become soft and fluffy.
Why Add Yeast To Keto Bread Recipes?
There are three reasons we like to add yeast to some of our keto baked goods.
- Keto Breads are typically dense and often grainy and dry. Yeast won’t make it as light and fluffy as the high carb bread that we’re used to in the supermarket. But it does make it lighter and more doughy than other low carb bread.
- Inulin that the yeast feeds on is a super prebiotic and has a multitude of health benefits.
- The aroma. We have used yeast a number of times in our keto recipes purely for the aroma.
Your sense of smell is every bit as important as taste when it comes to the desirability of food and yeast does that with bread.
We tested that theory with our famous ketogenic soft pretzels recipe.

About Our Keto Bread
We have tried and baked tonnes of variation of keto bread. This recipe was a work in progress through lots of trial and error.
We looked high and low to come up with a solution that would not only taste great but bake like real bread with the same aroma.
The bread needed to be yeasty, fluffy, and soft without the carbs required for normal bread to rise yet also stay within the keto diet macros.
This is, without doubt, the best keto bread recipe we’ve both made and tried. Just try it once (exactly per the instructions) and you’ll never try another again.
This Keto bread is also Gluten-Free, Paleo Friendly, and of course very low-carb.
How Many Carbs Per Serving Of Keto Bread?
Due to the fact that we don’t use any sugar or high carb flower our Keto bread contains only 1g net carbs per serve.
To make this keto bread even more ketogenic serve it with quality grass-fed butter that also has near-zero carbs per serve.
Kerry Gold is our favorite butter.

Servings Per Loaf of Keto bread
This loaf makes 16 slices, which is one slice per serve.
For counting your calories and macros simply multiply by each slice, eg, two slices are 2 x 140 calories = 280 calories total.
Can I Substitute The Keto bread Ingredients?
We get this question a lot with almost all of our recipes.
Sometimes you can get away with substituting ingredients but with our Keto bread recipe, it is recommended that you don’t use anything except for what we use to bake it. It took a lot of experimentation to come up with this keto bread recipe and to achieve the texture and flavor.
So the short answer is no. I’m sorry on this occasion, please stick to the recommendations above if you want the best Keto bread you’ve ever tasted.

Gerri, thank you for this! I have a keto bread machine recipe that calls for 1 tsp of HONEY (8 grams) as food for the YEAST (also 8 grams) 1.) Can I substitute INULIN for the honey? and 2.) Would it be an equal swap? Thanks so much!
Hi Mary,
My general rule for inulin is to use equal amounts to the yeast, so 1 tsp yeast and 1 tsp of inulin. I hope that helps!
