Keto Artisan Flax Seed Sourdough Loaf
This Keto (and paleo) sourdough loaf is coated with delicious, whole flax seeds and has the best bread-like texture. It is perfect for making sliced bread for avocado toast, slathered in nut butter, or smeared with salted butter. High in fiber, this bread is excellent for keeping you full as well. Be sure to use fresh egg whites for this, not liquid egg whites, as the dough will be too wet.
What kind of almond flour should I use?
Finely sifted almond flour or blanched almond flour works well.
What is the correct water temperature to make this Keto bread?
Boiling water is best to hydrate this bread and the fibers in it before baking.
How do I know the loaves are finished baking?
It is best to err on the side of caution with gluten-free and Keto baked goods and bake them longer if you are in question. The most telling sign is if the loaves are pulled front he oven and begin to sink. If this happens, immediately place it bake into the oven and allow it to puff up again and finish baking.

Is a 1/2 of slice considered 1 serving? This seems like an easy bread for me to try

Depending on how thick you slice it... it’s best to weigh the slice. 28g or 1 oz is one portion according to the details in the nutritional facts.
