Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup almond flour (100g)

  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed (50g)

  • 1/4 cup psyllium husk (25g)

  • 1 tbsp caraway seeds (optional for flavor)

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

  • 3 large egg whites

  • 1 cup boiling water (240ml)

  • Optional: sunflower or sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, ground flaxseed, psyllium husk, caraway seeds, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Add egg whites and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.

  4. Slowly pour in boiling water while stirring. Dough will thicken quickly.

  5. Shape into a loaf or place in pan. Sprinkle with seeds if using.

  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes until crust is firm and bread sounds hollow when tapped.

  7. Let cool completely before slicing for best texture.

Notes

  • Always let keto bread cool fully or it may feel gummy inside.

  • Store in fridge for 5-7 days or freeze slices for later.

  • Best served toasted with butter, cheese, or keto-friendly spreads.

  • You can skip caraway seeds if you don’t like them, but they give it that German rye taste.
