Keto Sweet Sourdough Bread

Our Keto sweet sourdough bread is reminiscent of a sugar-coated donut! A fathead dough made using shredded cheese and cream cheese is used as the base of this recipe. Sweetener is added to the dough mixture. Then, the dough is formed into a loaf shape and baked with an egg wash on top. After the egg wash is added, granulated sweetener is sprinkled over the top. This process is repeated several times to result in a browned loaf, crusted with sparkling sweetener. The bread is easy to slice once it has cooled down and is the perfect carrier for Keto-friendly chocolate hazelnut spread, almond butter, or butter. You will love this Keto sourdough bread that you can enjoy smothered with all kinds of Low Carb condiments like grass-fed butter, sugar-free jam or cream cheese.

What if I have a small food processor?

If you have a small food processor, you will want to divide the recipe in half so your food processor can handle the load. Once both halves are mixed, you can combine them in a large mixing bowl.

What is the best sweetener to use in this recipe?

You will want to use a granulated sweetener for the topping, like granulated erythritol. You can use powdered or granulated sweeteners for the dough.

How long does this take to bake?

Due to this bread's gluten-free and Keto nature, the bake time is long. You will want to bake the bread for an hour or more to achieve the desired coloring with the egg wash. Then, the oven temperature is lowered, and the loaf is cooked for another hour until it is baked through.

Why apple cider vinegar?

The vinegar’s use is twofold in this recipe. First, it helps to give the “sourdough” flavor. Since wheat in prohibited in Keto diets, you cannot make a Low Carb sourdough bread without it. Secondly, apple cider vinegar creates a fermented sour taste, so be sure to use apple cider vinegar with the mother for the most authentic sour flavor!
