Cakes & Bakes: Keto soda bread

This keto soda bread is my favourite ketogenic bread that I’ve made to date. I think it’s because it’s naturally sweet… and is gorgeous toasted with a big pat of butter on top.

It’s made using the same method as traditional soda bread. However, the wheat flour is exchanged for  half & half almond and coconut flour. I’ve also swapped the buttermilk for half & half full fat Greek yoghurt and full fat milk… because it contains more fat. Finally, I added and egg to help bind it all together.

You need to bring the dough ball together quite tightly as the finished loaf can be very crumbly. That’s why I recommend that you wait until it’s completely cooled before you attempt to slice it. I know, the waiting is difficult!

Justin had a portion toasted with egg, bacon and tomato. I had it toasted just with an egg, over easy. Tomorrow I’ll try it with cheese on toast or sliced avocado.
