Homemade Coconut Flour Bread
Coconut flour is an excellent medium for making healthy homemade bread. Coconut flour is low-carb and gluten-free; making it compatible with Keto and other low-carb diets.
This bread is versatile and covers a variety of health restrictions. It is sturdy enough for the toaster and to be used for school lunchbox sandwiches.

Since there is no gluten in coconut flour the texture of the bread is a bit denser, similar to a slice of light banana bread, and it won't rise as much as wheat bread so your slices will be smaller.
However, the bread is filling and perfect for eating healthy portions.
Tips for Making Homemade Bread With Coconut Flour

There are two tips that are essential for making this bread. Without them you may end up with a very heavy dense brick of bread.
And nobody wants that!
Theses tips may seem unimportant because they are so simple, but they are critical to making this healthy homemade bread.
The first tip is ACCURACY! You should either weigh your coconut flour (the gold standard of accuracy) or scoop the coconut flour into your measuring cup with a spoon instead of scooping the flour with your measuring cup.

This is important because when you scoop the flour with your measuring cup you are inadvertently compacting the flour and may accidentally use twice as much flour as needed.
The second tip is to separate your egg yolks and whites so that you can whip the whites into stiff peaks.
This will take an extra five minutes or so, but it really makes a difference in the texture of the bread.
If you don't have time to whip the egg whites that's ok, but just understand that your bread will turn out denser than if you had.
Making Healthy Keto Bread Dough
Separate eggs. Mix ingredients with egg yolks. Set aside to thicken.

To make your dough you will want to start by separating your egg yolks and whites into two bowls.
When your eggs are separated, mix your coconut flour, baking powder, butter, water, salt, and psyllium husk into the bowl that contains your egg YOLKS.
Set your dough aside while your whip the egg whites to allow the dough to thicken.
Whip egg whites with hand mixer. Whip into stiff peaks. When it is done you'll be able to turn the bowl over.
Use your hand blender/whisk to whip your egg whites into stiff peaks.
It will look a lot like whipped cream. When they are done you should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites sliding out. This will probably take you about 5-8 minutes.
Next, fold your egg whites into your dough until they completely disappear.

Your dough should have thickened a lot as it sat because the coconut flour and psyllium husk will absorb and swell with the liquids.
Psyllium husk can usually be found at the grocery store in the dietary supplement section, be sure to choose unflavored no sugar added psyllium husk.

Baking Healthy Homemade Bread
Fold in eggs whites. Add to bread pan. Top with seeds and bake.
Now that your dough is done your bread is ready to bake. Preheat your oven to 180C/350F and line your bread pan with parchment paper.

Pour the dough into the bread pan and smooth out the top. I like to sprinkle a mixture of flax and chia seeds over the top of my bread but that is completely optional.
Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes in the oven or until the internal temperature is 77C/170F. When the bread is done be sure to let it cool completely before slicing.
Coconut Flour Bread Uses

This coconut flour bread surprisingly doesn't taste like coconut which make this bread the perfect all-purpose low-carb bread.
You can toast a slice and serve it with almond butter on top.
It is strong enough to be used as sandwich bread.
I have also used it to make garlic cheese bread by adding butter, garlic, and cheese to the slices and then popping it into the oven to crisp.
The uses for this bread go as far as your imagination will go.

Coconut Flour Bread - How To Store In Your Freezer

To store your bread wrap it tightly in parchment paper and then place it in an airtight storage container or zipped storage bag. The bread should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer because there are no preservatives or additives (yay) and because it is egg heavy.
Coconut Flour Bread - How To Defrost And Use

Your homemade bread will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. I highly recommend reheating the bread in the toaster after removing it from the refrigerator or freezer.
That's all!
An easy bread recipe with simple low-carb ingredients. If you don't have psyllium husk, but still want to make this bread go ahead and leave it out.
The psyllium husk helps hold the bread together so that it is not crumbly. The recipe will still work without it, your bread will crumble a little easier though. Enjoy!

Fabulous recipe! Great for sandwiches and toasties! I add some onion and garlic powder and a touch of turmeric and extra salt for a savoury taste. And scatter it with pumpkin seeds, sometimes in the loaf as well. My favourite bread recipe. Love that there’s no almond flour in it (I can easy eat too much almond flour with gf baking). I also make bread rolls with it. It tastes coconutty, which I like, but definitely not eggy to me - but I do add extra salt etc which possibly helps. Highly recommend trying it - I also highly rate the 3 seed bread - love it too.

Can this be made in bread machine?

This worked really well for my type 2 auntie who really dislikes almond flour always finding it gritty. Also the issue of lack of upper teeth past the canines. (Wrecked by dentist of the 70s who drilled and filled otherwise good teeth because they got paid per the filling ?) anyway finding low carb foods that are easy enough to eat, aren’t bitty and full of seeds, hasn’t an ingredients list as long as your arm and can help with fibre content. So breakfast is a challenge, Low carb Granolas are Great-if you can chew. But this was an easy winner that we have been desperately searching for and really liked the sheet pancakes too??????

Ummmm if its supposed coconut flour bread where is the coconut flour in the recipe?? It says 75g of almond flour/meal. No coconut flour ?

Yes, thank you, it has now been corrected. The recipe requires coconut flour only. I think I needed my coffee the day I wrote this ?

I’m guessing that the ingredients in the recipe are incorrect, as it is calling for almond flour, but the title of the recipe says it is coconut flour. Correct?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Yes, thank you, it has now been corrected. The recipe requires coconut flour only.

You might want to update the recipe specification so it uses coconut flour and not specifies almond flour 😉

My apologies, it has now been corrected. The recipe requires coconut flour only.
