We just made Deidre’s Low Carb Bread recipe but with a few tweaks so we could make it keto friendly! First, let me just say we really need to give a shout out to Deidre for her ideas of using Vital Wheat Gluten to make a keto bread tastes like REAL BREAD but without the carbs!
I have to admit, I was skeptical when I first learned about this ingredient. I had to test it for myself. I wasn’t sure if it would spike glucose or not. I’m so happy to report that it does not cause a spike in glucose!! Further yet, it doesn’t cause a weight loss stall either!!! If you are gluten sensitive, you will not want to make this recipe. I wasn’t sure if I was or not but it didn’t have any negative affects on me at all. Turns out I’m just very sensitive to carbs and not the gluten. Gluten is basically the ingredient that gives bread is texture.
I found her recipe on YouTube from a video that dated back to 2016! That was before I even started keto! She gives a set of bread machine instructions so you have to have a bread machine to follow her recipe. We converted her recipe to an oven method and we will give you both set of recipe instructions in printable format below. This way you can print off these recipes for your own cookbook for easy reference.
The only thing that I really didn’t have on hand was Swerve and the raw honey. I don’t buy honey anymore. There are other options for honey and I was determined to make her recipe without it. I’ve been using Allulose sweetener a lot lately. It comes in powdered and liquid forms. I used the liquid form in this recipe and it worked perfectly!
Ok, so don’t laugh at my bread machine. I actually found it at Goodwill one day! I only paid $7.99 for it and it works like a charm! I haven’t used a bread machine in ages and never had the use for one before starting my keto diet.

You know what’s funny? I’m starting to see more keto breads you can purchase at the store and online. This particular brand of keto bread also using vital wheat gluten and has the SAME ingredients as Deidre’s bread recipe! You can see this bread on the Kiss My Keto website here: Kiss My Keto Bread
Can I make Rye Bread just like this?
Yes! Here’s our recipe for Keto Rye Bread here: https://lowcarbinspirations.com/keto-rye-bread-recipe/
Is Vital Wheat Gluten Keto Friendly?
Thevital wheat gluten is high in protein and low in carbs. It does not contain the carbs you find in wheat flour. It’s just the gluten by itself. It can also give keto breads and keto baked goods the texture that makes them taste close to the real thing.
Will Vital Wheat Gluten Raise Blood Sugars?
No. Vital Wheat Gluten alone will not. I have tested this on myself using a ketone and glucose blood monitor. You can also test this on yourself.
Does Vital Wheat Gluten Cause Inflammation?
There are some people that are sensitive to gluten and vital wheat gluten can cause you inflammation if you are sensitive. I once had a functional medicine doctor tell me that I can test food sensitivities by using my heart rate. She says if your heart rate raises more than 17 bps after consuming a certain food, then your body doesn’t digest that food well. Not sure how true this is but this is what I use to test food sensitivities on myself. I have an Apple watch with a heart rate monitor so it’s easy to test. I also like to test food sensitivities in my weight loss journey. For example, too much dairy tents to stall my weight loss. This means I am dairy sensitive. You would have to track your foods to help determine this. There are food sensitivity testing you can do also if you want to really determine it quickly.
How long does this Low Carb Bread Last?
This bread has no preservatives so I would suggest to keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. It lasts about 1 week. If you leave it out on the counter it won’t last that long. I wouldn’t suggest leaving it out.
Is Oat Fiber Keto Friendly?
Oat fiber is not new to the keto community. You can see that we’ve used Oat fiber in other recipes like this Keto Smart Cakes copycat recipe. We wrote a whole separate article on Oat Fiber that you can read here: Is Oat Fiber Keto?
The short answer is yes because it’s just fiber and non digestible. It does not cause a spike in glucose either!
Here are the photos of the bread we made! We learned quickly that we sliced the bread too thick. The bread slices thin and is very filling!
The tall bread loaf is one that came out of the bread machine and the smaller loaf is what we made in the oven. It was FANTASTIC!!
You can see that the bread machine makes giant slices of bread and the texture is just like real bread but without the guilt!

Prep Time 1 hour hr 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 25 minutes mins
Course Keto Bread
Cuisine American
Servings 16 slices
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm Water about 90-100°
- 1 TBS Active yeast
- 1 tsp Allulose Liquid form
- 2 tbs butter melted
- 2 Eggs slightly beaten
- ⅔ cup Ground Golden flax meal
- ½ cup Oat Fiber
- 1¼ cup Vital Wheat Gluten
- 4 tbs Allulose Powdered sugar form Use can use the same about of Swerve or Erythritol too
- 1 tbs of psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp Pink Salt
Instructions
Prepare a bread loaf pan ahead of time by greasing the bottom of sides of the pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, add the warm water and dry active yeast to the bowl and let it sit for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes slightly frothy.
Add the liquid allulose, melted butter and the whipped eggs to the bowl with the active yeast in it.
In the stand mixer bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix it on low until it's fully combined.
Combine the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the stand mixer bowl.
Mix it with dough hooks until the dough comes together and is a bit sticky.
Use your clean hands to shape the dough into a bread loaf and place it in the bread loaf pan you prepared earlier.
Lightly coat the dough with a brush of olive oil or spray cooking oil.
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the bread and set it in a warm area to allow the bread to rise for an hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the bread has risen, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and remove the plastic wrap.
Place the bread in the center rack of the oven and bake it for about 25 minutes or until the center is done by doing a toothpick test.
Remove the bread from the oven when it's done and allow it to cool before slicing it.
Notes
2 carbs per slice @ 16 slices per loaf.
Bread Rising Instructions and tips: If you don't have a warm area in your house, you can turn on the oven for 5 minutes at 200 degrees then turn off the oven and place the bread pan inside the warm oven. Just be sure to wait a few minutes before putting the bread pan in the oven because you don't want to bake the bread or melt the plastic wrap. This creates a warm environment for the bread to rise. Or you can add one cup of water in a microwave safe bowl to the microwave for about 30 seconds. This warms the microwave and you can add the pan to the microwave but don't turn the microwave on! This is only an environment to help the bread rise. I'm not a fan of the microwave method for fear someone will turn it on and not realize there is a metal bread pan in there.
