Bread and wine—two things that have been bringing people together for centuries. But if you’re on keto, bread can feel like that one friend who always bails on plans. It’s just… not there for you. Until now.
We’re making heart-shaped keto bread that’s low-carb, buttery, and soft inside with a crisp golden crust. The best part? It’s perfect for a cozy night with wine. You don’t need to be a chef or a baker. If you can mix, shape, and bake, you’re good.
So, whether it’s Valentine’s Day, date night, or just another Tuesday where you want fancy bread and a glass of wine—you’re in the right place.
What Makes This Keto Bread Special?
Most keto breads are either too eggy or too dry. Some taste like disappointment in loaf form. This one? It’s fluffy, slightly chewy, and has that real bread texture. Oh, and it’s heart-shaped. Because why not?
Key Perks of This Recipe:
✅ Only 3g net carbs per serving – No guilt, just joy.
✅ No weird ingredients – You won’t need a science degree to understand the list.
✅ Easy to make – No kneading. No waiting hours for dough to rise.
✅ Pairs well with wine – Because bread + wine = happiness.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This isn’t one of those recipes with a grocery list longer than a CVS receipt. We’re keeping it simple.
For the Bread:
- 2 cups almond flour (finely ground)
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (keeps it soft and bread-like)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (helps with fluffiness)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella (adds a slight chew)
For Topping (Optional but Highly Recommended):
- 1 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)
- Pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs
How to Make Heart-Shaped Keto Bread
You don’t need a fancy bread machine. Just a bowl, a spoon, and your hands.
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in melted butter, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and warm water. Stir until it starts looking like dough. Add shredded mozzarella and mix until everything holds together.
Step 4: Shape the Hearts
- Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
- Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly.
- Use your fingers to pinch the bottom and make a heart shape. Or, if you have a cookie cutter, press it in and shape the edges.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Place the hearts on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 6: Brush with Butter
Right when they come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or dried herbs. This gives them extra flavor and a soft shine.
Let them cool for 10 minutes before eating (if you can wait that long).
Best Keto Wine Pairings
Bread without wine is like a love story without a happy ending. The good news? There are keto-friendly wines that won’t mess up your macros.
What to Look For in Keto Wine:
- Dry wines are your best friend – They have the least sugar.
- Stay away from sweet wines – Moscato and Riesling? Too much sugar.
- Look for under 3g carbs per glass – Keep it keto-friendly.
Best Wine Pairings for This Bread:
🍷 Pinot Noir – Light, fruity, and goes great with buttery bread.
🍷 Chardonnay – Crisp with a hint of oak, perfect with garlic butter.
🍷 Cabernet Sauvignon – If you want something bold, this is it.
🍷 Sauvignon Blanc – Bright, fresh, and a little zesty.
If you’re keeping it fully keto, limit yourself to one or two glasses. Or just enjoy a half-glass if you’re trying to stay super strict.
Ways to Serve Your Heart-Shaped Keto Bread
Bread is amazing by itself, but let’s be real, it’s even better with something on top. Here are a few ideas:
🥑 Avocado & Sea Salt – Smash some avocado on top, sprinkle a little sea salt, and boom, fancy toast.
🧄 Garlic Butter Spread – Mix softened butter with garlic and herbs, then slather it on.
🧀 Cheese & Prosciutto – A little slice of brie or cheddar with prosciutto? Yes, please.
🍯 Keto “Honey” Butter – Mix butter with a bit of sugar-free syrup for a sweet touch.
🍳 Egg & Bacon – Make a breakfast sandwich out of it. Because why not?

So go ahead, pour that glass of wine, break off a piece of warm, buttery bread, and enjoy. Because good food is meant to be shared—especially when it’s shaped like a heart. ❤️
