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.
Sesame Seed Keto Bread
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Sesame Seed Flour (Ground up sesame seeds work best) 200g / 7 oz
- 7 Large Eggs
- ½ Cup unsalted butter melted 120g / 4 oz
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C (355F)
- In a large bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, beating the egg whites with an electric mixer until white and fluffy.
- In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, egg yolks, sesame seed flour, salt and baking powder.
- 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**

I tried the sesame seed bread it looks great and not bitter.
Thanks
Hello,
In a bit confused because you say this recipe is 1 net carb but the your nutritional facts is 10 carbs and 8 fibre equals 2 net carbs not 1 net carb.
Hi
I made the sessame bread and it looks great but it was a bit better….how can I avoid this in the future?
thank you
I am from Malaysia and almond flour and arrow root are expensive. What other alternative flour can I use.
Fresh coconut is available and how do I convert it to flour .
Can I get more recipes using coconut flour
Concerning the bitterness issue, you may want to try UN hulled (hull has been removed) sesame seeds. WITH the hull on, can cause a bitter taste. “Sesame Seeds. The sesame seed plant is considered an herb. … Sesame seed hulls are often removed since they contain a small amount of oxalic acid. This acid can interfere with the absorption of calcium and gives the seeds a bitter taste.”
Made the bread today. It turned out well. Thanks for a good recipe ( found it via someone I follow on insta who shared it after making her version of your bread! )
I wanted to try the sesame bread first before the almond bread because the recipe is simpler and cheaper. This bread has a good texture, but it has a bitter aftertaste. (I don’t know if all sesame seeds are bitter, but mine sure were!)
Unhulled sesame seeds can be bitter, and so can some hulled ones. Some folk like that taste I think.
HI, How can I make this bread in the bread maker?
Do you know what might be a good substitution for the eggs? I am egg free as well as nut free. I’ve tried a product that works well but lately the stores have not carried it. Any general recommendations for replacing eggs in recipes?
I’ve tried many egg free breads, and its pretty impossible sorry.
Chia seeds flour, when soaked for a minute, behaves like eggs.
I also would like to know the answer to the baking soda versus baking powder question.
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your great recipes. They look wonderful. I’ve been eating low carb for a couple of years now but no bread, looking forward to trying this.
Have included a couple of links below to help with a couple of the questions other users have posed:-

The recipe says baking powder, but when you click on the link it takes you to baking soda. Could you please clarify which should be used.
Did you ever get an answer on this? I need to know as well.
Use baking powder for this recipe.
