Keto BREAD!!! No vital wheat gluten or nut flours!!! Soft and fluffy

When I first started keto, besides keto ice cream fails another big fail for me was keto bread recipes. At the time I didn't know anything about keto baking ingredients so I just conceded to not having bread because it was such a waste of ingredients to try to get a whole loaf of keto bread from recipes on the internet. Once I figured out the perfect keto biscuit I thought I could tackle a loaf of bread. It still took a lot of testing but none were complete fails so I could still eat them at least. Three weeks and a lot of ingredients later I finally nailed it! Check out the video at YouTube.com/ketoupgrade for step by step instructions so this bread loaf comes out perfect every time.

Now the market on keto bread has come a long way in just a year. There are many good low carb breads out there, but they all contain vital wheat gluten, which isn't technically keto. When I started, a main component when I researched keto was eliminating gluten from the diet to decrease inflammation and stomach upset. And it worked for me, I definitely felt way better not eating gluten. But now when I eat anything with gluten in it I feel horrible so I have to severely limit my gluten consumption. So those low carb breads are great but I can only have a slice at a time and I really wanted a sandwich!

I tried eliminating ingredients from this recipe because I know the simpler the better but nothing was as good as this recipe. So I'm sorry for the laundry list of ingredients but each one plays a role in achieving the closest thing I've come to white sandwich bread!

Keto BREAD!!!!

1 1/2 Cups Warm water (~110 degrees)
