Olive Oil Keto Sourdough Focaccia
Most of us on the Keto diet miss bread! Here is a Keto sourdough focaccia that has a wonderful bread-like texture. It is drizzled with plenty of olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt for an extra pop of flavor. Our Keto focaccia dough is made by blending almond flour, coconut flour, salt, eggs, and lemon juice for a bit of sourdough-like flavor. The lemon juice works in this recipe two-fold. One to help to leaven the bread along with baking soda ,two, to add a wonderful sour flavor. Since sourdough bread is made using wheat flour, lemon juice provides the sour flavor we are looking for. Feel free to serve this bread with olive oil seasoned with sea salt and balsamic vinegar to make a fat-friendly dip.
How to use this as a base recipe
Feel free to use this recipe as a base recipe for other topping variations. Our Keto focaccia would be delicious studded with green or black sliced olives. It would also be delicious drizzled with olive oil and then topped with parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes. Instead of olive oil, butter can be used, and then the entire bread could be sprinkled with granulated garlic to make garlic focaccia. The sky is the limit and you can feel free to get creative with different flavors.
What is the best dish to cook this in?
We used a light-colored 8”x8” baking pan for this recipe. You could use any baking dish with similar dimensions, however. Feel free to use a dark-colored pan to brown the bread more around the edges.
What is the best nonstick cooking spray to use?
We like to use an animal fat-based cooking spray or one made with avocado oil. These fats are high temp safe. Steer clear of vegetable oil-based sprays for health considerations.
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other Keto recipes like our Keto Avocado, Tomato, and Goats Cheese Spread to make a delicious topping for the bread.

steps 5
40 min
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray an 8”x8” baking pan with cooking spray. Combine the dry ingredients together (including the almond flour, coconut flour, 1 tsp kosher salt, and baking soda). Mix well to combine.Step 2
Then, combine the eggs and lemon juice. Whisk well to mix thoroughly. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. The dough will be stiff.Step 3
Scoop the dough into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using an offset spatula. Then, wet your fingers and dimple the dough all over. Cover the pan with tinfoil. The tinfoil helps the bread to rise and prevents it from drying out. Bake for 10 minutes.Step 4
Remove the foil and drizzle the bread with olive oil. Sprinkle the top with ¼ tsp kosher salt or flaky sea salt. Bake for another 10 minutes or so until the edges of the bread are browned.Step 5
Feel free to add more olive oil on top if desired. You can also serve the bread with salt, and balsamic vinegar seasoned olive oil to dip the bread into. Allow to cool and then cut into nine squares.

Tasted really terrible before cooling. Weird texture, no flavor despite adding garlic and extra salt to dough. However, after cooling the texture is not nearly as weird. Added tons of additional salt and garlic on top, tastes at least somewhat decent now. I added a star to my rating due to this. Coconut flour still gives it kind of an off-putting texture. Mouth-feel is that of a dessert, strange combo. Definitely let it cool a bit before eating. Not for people who have recent memories of eating real bread.
