• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted + more for greasing)

How to Make Keto Protein Bread

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This ensures that the bread bakes evenly.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients:
1. Add the coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, sea salt, and Perfect Keto Collagen. Mix well to distribute evenly.

Step 3: Prepare Wet Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together:
1. Add the coconut milk, egg yolks, and melted coconut oil. Ensure that everything is well combined.

Step 4: Whip Egg Whites

In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step provides structure to your bread.

Step 5: Fold Ingredients Together

Gently fold both the dry mixture and wet mixture into the whipped egg whites until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.

Step 6: Prepare Baking Dish

Brush your loaf dish with additional melted coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7: Bake the Bread

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Cool and Slice

Once baked, allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy fresh slices as they are or topped with your favorites!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making keto protein bread can be simple, but there are common pitfalls that can affect your results. Here are some mistakes to avoid.

• Skipping the egg whites: Whipping the egg whites helps create a light and fluffy texture. Make sure to whip them until stiff peaks form for the best results.
• Not measuring ingredients accurately: Precision is key in baking. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients like coconut flour to ensure your measurements are correct.
• Ignoring the baking powder: Baking powder is crucial for rising. Don’t skip this ingredient; it helps achieve that perfect loaf texture.
• Overmixing the batter: Overmixing can deflate the air you’ve created with the egg whites. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together to keep your bread light and airy.
• Using low-quality collagen: Not all collagen products are created equal. Use high-quality collagen for better flavor and nutrition.
