WRITTEN RECIPE: mtk.fyi/VeganKetoBreadLoafRECIPE
This Vegan Keto Sandwich Loaf recipe bakes up like traditional bread and tastes like it too! It has a wonderful toasty aroma, soft and fluffy interior with a thin chewy crust. As a bonus, it’s high in protein and fiber with next to no net carbs. In this video, I will show how to make the keto bread loaf itself, get into details about the ingredients and why each one is used, plus explain the nutrition information with exact numbers.
But WHY vegan keto sandwich bread at all?
I have to stay keto in order to keep my chronic tendonitis symptoms away completely. But I still want to have legit sandwiches sometimes! And if you have your own reasons for keeping it low carb, then I'm happy to help.
By the way, my inspiration for this recipe were the keto buns from my local Save-On-Foods bakery! They are great but expensive so I took the ingredient list, kept the stuff I could buy easily and skipped the ingredients that I couldn't. Then it was months of adjusting ratios and the baking method until I came out with buns that were even more delicious than the original! And now we have a loaf version as well.
IMPORTANT INGREDIENT NOTE: that I particularly like the Anthony's brand of Vital Wheat Gluten. I find it has less of the gluten-y aroma compared to Bob's Red Mill. Also, Anthony's Oat Fiber has zero net carbs but other brands may have more. Please keep this in mind when sourcing ingredients.
MORE EXPENSIVE?
Some people have inquired to the cost and based on the cost of ingredients for me, each batch totals $5.66 (Canadian dollars), working out to 71 cents per two slices. For me, this is about the same or a little more than the cost of good quality regular store-bought bread but significantly less than buying store-bought KETO bread.
IS IT REALLY KETO?
There's a lot of misinformation about what keto is or isn't. Here's a simple explanation.
The keto diet helps the body get into ketosis (the state in which the body primarily is burning fat for fuel) and stay in that state with the minimization of net carbs. This bread can easily be a part of a balanced keto diet with its super low carb count.
Recently, I checked the effect of one serving of this bread on my blood glucose with a CGM. It did not raise my blood sugar at all. The line stayed flat as if I was still in a fasted state.
I think the confusion is when some "gurus" on KZfaq claim that their grain-free/lectin-free/legume-free/plant-free way is the only way to do keto right. Only YOU can tell what helps put your body in ketosis in a healthy way. NOT these strangers.
ingredient measurements (final version, not the monster)
WET
7g instant or traditional dry active yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
7g maple syrup or sugar (1 tsp)
350ml warm water @ 110°F (1 ½ cup)

If you want the monster, multiply the ingredients by 1.5 lol
NOTE Please measure by weight for best results. I give the volume measurements only as a last resort but it's really easy to get the ratios wrong if you measure by cups/spoons.
