Keto bacon and cheese bread

This is a super easy keto bread to make. It requires 7 simple ingredients and is quite versatile. 

You can serve this bread alone, but it also pairs amazingly with mashed avocado, guacamole, or some butter. You can serve it warm or cold, and it is so so good straight from the oven.

How does this bacon and cheese bread taste?

The bread resembles cheese and bacon rolls. As the almond flour is very mild it does not overpower the cheese or bacon, so basically, these two are what you will pick up the most in this bread.

How many carbs are in bacon and cheese bread?

There are only 1.8 grams of carbs in this keto bacon bread. This is so because this bacon cheese bread is made with low carb ingredients like cheese, bacon, and almond flour. 

Tips for making the best keto bacon bread recipe

You need xanthan gum for the low carb bacon bread recipe. Without it, your bread will crumble and fall apart once it is baked. Xanthan gum is a keto-friendly binding agent used to make gluten-free baked goods more elastic.

Since almond flour is gluten-free, it is almost impossible to make a good almond flour bacon bread that does not crumble without xanthan gum or another binding agent.

I’ve tried to make this keto bacon bread without xanthan gum before and while it tasted great, the bread itself fell apart.

This is an image of the low carb bacon bread without xanthan gum. You can see just how much it crumbles when sliced:

 

Therefore, my best recommendation is to make your life a LOT easier and pick up a pouch of It’s Just Xanthan Gum Powder at Amazon before attempting to make the bread.

To make it, you need to first gather your ingredients in one place and preheat your oven to 300F. Also, line an 8-inch loaf pan with baking paper.

Then in a bowl, beat eggs, butter, and cream cheese, making sure to season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add almond flour, xanthan gum, cheese, and bacon and stir to combine.

Recipe variation

You can make this bread with cheese and bacon, but also with prosciutto, pepperoni, or your desired ham.

You can also choose to go with cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or Edam cheese.

If you want, you can add different herbs. I find chives, basil, or thyme pairs the best with this low carb bacon bread.

You can store the bread on a shelf, for 48 hours. You can also store it in a fridge, for 3 days, or slice and freeze individual slices in an airtight container for up to a month. Reheat the bread in a microwave.
