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!

Hello Aaron, I’m looking forward to baking this tomorrow but just like to ask if I can substitute almond flour for ground almonds?
FatForWeightLoss says
Yes this is exactly what almond flour is 🙂 Hope that helps
Bernadette M McEvoy says
This bread is wonderful. Only problem I had is that my only pan is larger than called for so my loaf wasn’t as high. If I double the recipe will the bread be too dense?
FatForWeightLoss says
Double the recipe will be fine I’d say.

Hello from Canada! I’d like to know what size loaf pan works best with this recipe please. Also, would a silicone loaf pan work better than a tin/glass loaf pan lined with parchment? Anxiously awaiting your reply so I can order some new loaf pans to try this recipe out. Thank you so much!

Hi Marie, I used an 8″ X 4″ Pan 🙂

What is the best way to store this bread?
FatForWeightLoss says
Sliced in the fridge, can also be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month sliced as well.

Hi. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I made the seeded bread last nigh and had my first toast this morning. Mine turned out great but not as high as yours. I am trying to cut my carbs because of pre diabetes but I am not doing a strict Keto. I love your bread but would love to make it less oily. My stomach doesn’t do well with high fats. Is it posible to substitute some of the oils for water or another liquid?
Thank you!
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Maria,
I’ve actually never experimented with reduced fats. You’ll have to test this out yourself using a ratio of fat and water.
Susan says
I’m confused. Are the 3 tbsp of sesame seeds to be mixed into the batter, too, or they the “optional” seeds for the top?
Sheila Sanderson says
I always have a surplus of egg whites because the egg yolks are used for keto ice cream and hollandaise sauce. Can I just use egg whites in this recipe? Would I need to add more fat with butter to make up for the missing egg yolks?
FatForWeightLoss says
Yes you can just use egg whites, but you’ll just need to play around with the additional fat. I haven’t done this myself, so i’ll let you do some testing 🙂

Aaron–Is a serving one slice or two?
