When you switch to a ketogenic diet, for most people it is very hard to give up easy dishes such as bread and pasta. This keto seeded bread recipe makes the switch much easier, giving you the ability to still have sandwiches and toast.
This bread is similar to my famous keto bread recipe but tastes much more like real bread due to the addition of seeds such as sesame seeds and chia seeds.
Keto Seeded Bread
Having eggs on toast…. Without the toast… just sucks! So having bread for the occasional times when needed is a real blessing.
Expert Tips
Make sure when you make this low carb bread, that you place baking paper in the tray whilst baking. The first time I did this, was without baking paper. Trust me, this is not what you want to be scraping out of the tin. Low carb bread recipes can be quite tricky to remove from the baking tin.
Most butter found in Australia is grass fed for the majority of its life. The reason grass-fed butter has been pushed within the ketogenic community is that not many countries have access to good quality butter, and mainly rely on many grain-fed cattle from different parts of the world.
Butter from grass-fed cows is also much higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K2, compared to butter from grain-fed cows. As you can see, butter from grass-fed cows is a much healthier and more nutritious choice.
Kerrygold butter is the best butter to use, but here in Australia, Kerrygold can be expensive.

If you’re looking for ideas on what to make with this bread, I made a steak sandwich with this bread. It’s super delicious toasted as well!

One of my readers (Stephanie), who has made it over 20 times, sent some fantastic tips for this recipe:
- Adding *ground* flax seed works even better than sesame seeds, still, recommend sesame seeds on top
- Room temp eggs make all the difference in creating a higher loaf
- Toast before eating!! you should hear the butter sizzle
- I’ve always made this with salted butter and comes out tasting perfect
- Refrigerate after a day or two (max) in room temp, as I think xanthan gum starts to do something weird after that
This is the only keto bread I consistently bake to have around the house (and closest I’ve found to real bread), good for breakfast with some avocado or eggs! Also, really great for your digestive system due to all the fibre.
Thanks for the helpful tips, Stephanie!

Aaron this recipe is incredible! I made my first ever loaf of bread and it tasted delicious. I used half a teaspoon of baking soda with vinegar instead of baking powder and some herbs (such as Oregano).
Thank you for this recipe. I’ll be using it from now on!

Hi- just found this recipe and can’t wait to try it. Could I substitute psyllium husk for xanthan gum? Thanks

Sure!

I love this bread, easy to make and always turns out great. Question – are those nutrition figures for each slice of bread? I’m guessing 1 slice is a serving? If I have 2 slices, do I just double the figures for my macros? Thanks!

This came out fantastic! Opted to replace the butter with olive oil instead. Added 1/4 more baking powder. I think toasting the sesame will add more dimension to the flavor. Baked crusty on the outside and soft in the insides. Sprinkled dried basil before toasting, topped it with EVOO, pink salt and chopped sping onions. Great with soups! Mom asked for a second slice! Thank you!

love it. 4th time making the bread but i would love to know if there is a way i dont get the crack on the top. sometimes its on the side like your photos and sometimes its right smack in the middle. 🙁 how can i stop that from happening. thank you
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Liezel, You could bake in the oven with a baking tray filled with water (to create steam in the oven) which helps prevent cheesecakes from cracking, not sure about keto bread.
Liezel Boonzaier-Lacquaye says
oh awesome. will try. i assume the baking time will be longer then. about to make it agsin so will see how it goes. 🙂
