FAQ

Is this almond flour bread suitable for a low-carb diet?
Yes. This bread is made with almond flour and psyllium husk instead of wheat flour, keeping the carbohydrate content much lower than traditional bread.

Is this bread gluten-free?
Yes. All ingredients used are naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for people avoiding gluten.

Can this bread be used for keto diets?
It can work for many keto meal plans, but almond flour does contain some carbs. Portion control is recommended for strict keto followers.

What role does psyllium husk powder play in the recipe?
Psyllium husk absorbs moisture and helps bind the dough, giving the bread a firm, sliceable structure similar to regular bread.

Why does the bread need to cool completely before slicing?
Cooling allows the crumb to set fully. Cutting while hot can cause the bread to collapse or become gummy inside.

Can coconut oil be replaced with another fat?
Yes. Melted butter or olive oil can be used, though they may slightly change the flavor and texture.

How should this bread be stored?
Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze sliced portions for up to 2 months.

Is this bread good for sandwiches and toast?
Yes. Once fully cooled, it holds together well for sandwiches and can be lightly toasted for better texture.

Why is warm water added at the end?
Warm water activates the psyllium husk, helping the dough thicken quickly and evenly.

Can seeds or herbs be added to the dough?
Yes. Seeds like sunflower or sesame, as well as herbs, can be added without affecting the baking process.
