I was working on a photography project that called for baguette bread but since I’m keto/gluten-free I felt totally left out. And I also had an abundance of eggs sitting around from our backyard chickens…

So, I got creative with the ingredients that I have on hand. I started with my Keto Everything Bagel Bread and got to work! Luckily the first time was a charm and The Best Easy Keto Bread made with Psyllium Husk is totally delicious.

What is Psyllium Husk Powder??

Psyllium husk powder comes from the husk of the Plantago ovato plant’s seeds. That husk is rich in soluble fiber and once ground up into a powder, psyllium husk powder can contain four grams of fiber in just half a tablespoon!

And we all know how fiber helps “move things along” which many newbies to keto and low carb can benefit from as their body adjusts to a different way of eating by keeping their digestive tract “moving along”. Just be cautious since this bread is so amazingly delicious but if you are not staying ‘regular’ with a high fiber diet consuming a whole lost of psyllium husk can SEEM to have a laxative effect, not just a few slices we’re talking about eating like a whole loaf at once!

Consequently if you are struggling with constipation after switching to a keto diet, this psyllium husk bread’s health benefits can help alleviate your digestive woes!

Like with other high fiber content foods, psyllium husk also can help to maintain healthy blood sugar levels for diabetics, too!

Is Psyllium Husk Powder Keto?

Psyllium husk powder is when you take whole psyllium husk and grind it into a fine power. It has virtually zero digestible carbs (ie net carbs) and has the ability to mimic bread’s texture which makes it an essential part of any keto pantry! Of course, no alternative can authentically match the real deal, but for those who miss the joys of pairing a warm baguette with butter, this might be the next best thing.

Tips for The Best Easy Keto Psyllium Husk Bread

One of the best tips I can give you for this bread is to absolutely use a food processor. If you don’t have one you can try a blender but I haven’t personally blender-tested it yet. I don’t recommend hand mixing since you NEED the cheese to get chopped up into the dry ingredient mix.

Please don’t ask for substitution instructions, this recipe has only be tested with the exact ingredients listed. If you have a coconut intolerance, I THINK this recipe will work OK without it or I’d substitute almond flour.

The Best Easy Keto Bread made with Psyllium Husk - Only 1 Net Carb Per Slice!

This is NOT a traditional wheat/gluten bread dough, it’s different. It’s spongie and sticky. And YES I strongly recommend using a baguette pan lined with parchment paper, that is the only way to ensure that your baguette will look like a baguette. It’s also a great way to get a shaped loaf when you dough is slightly runny like in my Grain Free French Bread.

Now a word of caution. This is more of a whole-wheat style bread with a darker color and fuller flavor (as you find with wheat flour). It’s good out while still warm and slathered with butter but it’s even BETTER toasted. And when I say toasted, I mean toasted and dipped in a delicious, nutrient dense egg yolk… or made into the cutest little breakfast sandwich!
