Keto bread is a type of bread that is low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, making it suitable for a ketogenic diet. It is typically made with almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, eggs, olive oil and sometimes sweetener. Keto bread is different from traditional breads, which are typically made with wheat flour and sugar. Because of the absence of wheat flour, it has a different texture than traditional breads and is denser, but it can be a great option for those following a ketogenic diet or who are looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake.
