If you haven’t tried keto bread, then you’re going to absolutely love this recipe. It’s a sesame seed flour keto bread that doesn’t have any complicated ingredients and is completely nut-free.
Most people have a hard time eliminating bread from their diet when switching to a low carb, ketogenic diet. This bread helps in the transition phase, especially for those who are sensitive to nuts and is also allergic to coconut.
This keto sesame flour bread is made without xanthan gum because that many people couldn’t find this ingredient when making my famous keto bread recipe. It’s getting harder to find now, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to eliminate it completely.
Nut Free Keto Bread
Sesame flour is easiest to make your self. If you have a coffee grinder, food processor or any other high-speed blender, you’ll be able to make sesame seed flour. It doesn’t require too much flour, so purchasing enough sesame seeds shouldn’t be a problem.
This bread can also be made in a bread maker, which is fantastic. All of my keto loaves of bread have had great success in being made in a bread machine.
This bread is even softer and fluffier than the almond flour bread, as sesame seeds are might lighter when ground into a flour. It’s the perfect replication of real bread in keto form.

Common Questions:
WHAT IS KETO BREAD?
Keto bread is a mixture of almond flour (or sesame/coconut flour), eggs and healthy fats. It resembles normal wheat bread in texture but has about 20 times fewer carbs than regular bread.
HOW MANY SERVINGS ARE IN THIS LOAF?
For those who are confused about the serving size, the bread should make 16 slices, and the nutritional information is 2 of those 16 slices. In simple terms, 2 slices = 1 serving. The whole loaf makes 16 slices total.
CAN THIS KETO BREAD BE MADE DAIRY FREE?
Yes – just add 1/2 cup olive oil instead of the butter. This will give you a very similar result.
IF I AM ALLERGIC TO NUTS, IS THIS BREAD GOING TO BE OKAY?
Yes, of course! Most people who are allergic to nuts can tolerate sesame seeds. Generally, most people avoid coconut (which isn’t actually a nut, its a drupe) but sesame seeds are in the clear for most people.
HOW DO I STORE KETO BREAD?
I usually slice it up, then place the sliced pieces into 2 plastic containers. Keep 1 container in the fridge, and 1 container in the freezer for next week.
HOW MANY CARBS IN KETO BREAD?
This ketogenic bread recipe only has 1g of net carbs. WHAT? that’s crazy! Net carbs are total carbs minus fibre and are how most people following the ketogenic diet will count their carbohydrates.

- Gently fold the now complete egg yolk mixture into the egg whites, and gently mix together until it forms a uniform colour.
- In a bread loaf tin lined with baking paper, pour the mixture in and bake for 45 mins, checking the centre of the loaf with a skewer to ensure that its done.
- **To avoid cracking on the top of the loaf, place an ovenproof bowl of water in with the bread. This will ensure that the top of the bread loaf doesn’t crack and stays in tact**

So, I tried to make this recipe in my bread maker and it came out horrible. It did not rise at all, but became an inedible brick that tasted like an egg boiled too long.
I read above that this could be made in a breadmaker. Any ideas where I went wrong.
Wendy says
Has anyone tried using MIyoko’s butter? I thought it might have better flavor than olive oil. Thanks!
Anna Khursheed says
I tried this recipe by making my own sesame flour, turned out exactly like the picture. I loved it so much. I order 7 bags of Sesame seed flour. Ever since, the bread NEVER turned out right (too dense). I tried it again making my own flour and loo and behold… perfect! Turns out the brand of sesame flour I ordered had the oil removed out of it. It taste bitter and is a much darker bread compared to making the bread with “whole” sesame flour, grounded in the food processor. I now have a ton of flour I will likely mot use. Shame! The bread recipe is perfect. Love it and will continue making it with homemade sesame flour.

Fantastic to hear Anna. I always grind my own, but it’s a shame the flour didn’t work for you.
Valerie says
I didn’t get it quite right the first time I made it, but it was still delicious. What I was wondering was about adding herbs to it. Have you tried any variations?
Sandford says
Unfortunately, my sesame bread came out dense and heavy. I noticed the dough was not nearly as liquid as yours in the video. Any ideas? (One thing I know I did wrong was that my butter was warm after melting it and I didn’t let it cool before adding it to the batter).
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Sandford. Hmmm, with hot butter maybe it changed the structure of the eggs? I’m unsure what has happened here becuase every single time I make this recipe it’s light and fluffy, just like my almond flour keto bread (but better)
