This is a delicious low carb “wheat” bread recipe that is made using no gluten or wheat flour. A sturdy yet tender dough is made with almond flour, psyllium husk, eggs, and water.

How is this bread made without wheat flour?
The psyllium husk in this bread, along with eggs, makes the entire structure. Do not try to substitute psyllium husk powder with anything else like ground flax seeds, for example. This ingredient is crucial to the structure and outcome of this delicious and easy bread.
Why is there apple cider vinegar and baking powder in the recipe?
These two ingredients help to give a rather sturdy low carb dough quite an incredible rise in the oven. Be patient because the dough may not look like it will rise, but will begin to rise at about the 40 minutes to one hour mark.
Why the long bake time?
Due to the nature of gluten-free and Keto bread, their moisture content is quite high. Therefore, they take quite a while to bake at a low temperature. Keto bread is hard to overbake, so do not be afraid to add extra time (it is better to be on the safe side). If you remove the bread from the oven and it begins to sink, place it immediately back into the oven and allow it to puff up. It may not be perfect this round, but you can finish baking it through and avoid throwing it out.
