Keto Rosemary Skillet Bread

You don’t have to be an expert to make delicious bread! And you don’t have to miss out on delicious bread just because you’re Keto! This rosemary Keto skillet bread is made with almond flour, activated yeast, and dried rosemary. After you mix together the dough, just transfer it to an oiled cast-iron skillet. Bake the skillet bread in your oven, then slice it for serving! You can eat this Keto skillet bread with extra virgin olive oil mixed with some parmesan cheese and black pepper. Even just a smear of butter is delicious on this bread.

Do I have to use a cast-iron skillet?

Using a heat-safe skillet is crucial to this recipe since you’ll be baking the bread in your oven. The most common type of skillet that fits this need is a cast-iron skillet. Not only is this type of skillet safe to use in your oven, but it will ensure your bread is baked evenly. The skillet can also handle the high heat of the oven.

What is almond flour?

Almond flour is made of one simple ingredient: almonds! Almond flour is just finely ground almonds. If you can’t find almond flour in stores, you can make your own at home. Use a food processor to grind up whole, roasted, unsalted almonds until they turn into a fine powder. Use the flour in baking, to thicken sauces, or as a healthy meat filler.

How yeast works on Keto

In traditional wheat bread, two things are needed to make it rise: yeast and gluten. You can add yeast to Keto skillet bread, but it won’t have gluten. The yeast is still alive and will grow, and you’ll see that reflected a little in your raw dough. However, any Keto dough won’t rise to double in size as other bread doughs do.

Recipe Steps

steps 5

2 h 30 min

  • Step 1

    Add warm water (not hot or cold) to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water, then gently stir it in with a fork or spoon. Leave the bowl aside for at least 5 minutes for the yeast to activate. You’ll know the yeast is activated when small air bubbles appear in the water and you can smell the yeast.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Sprinkle the first amount of almond flour across the top of the yeast water, then sprinkle the salt on top of the almond flour. Stir the ingredients into the water. Then, stir the second amount of almond flour as well as the dried rosemary into the bowl. Make sure all the ingredients are stirred together into a slightly-lumpy dough.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside somewhere warm for 1 hour. The dough may rise slightly and some moisture may appear on the plastic wrap. After letting the dough ferment for an hour, prepare an 8-inch cast-iron skillet by rubbing the olive oil into the metal. Transfer the dough to the oiled skillet.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Loosely cover the skillet in plastic wrap, and leave it somewhere warm again to prove for about 30 minutes. After proving the dough, turn on the oven to preheat to 400 F (210 C). Before putting the skillet in your oven, use a knife to score a large X in the center of the dough to divide it into 4 sections. Bake the skillet bread in your oven for 30 minutes or until done.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    For doneness, a toothpick test will come out clean and the top of the bread will have golden edges. Let the skillet bread cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting it into sections. Instead of using a knife in your cast-iron skillet, you should be able to use a spatula to cut through the scored lines you made and divide the bread into sections. At your discretion, the bread tastes best when drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
