Ingredients
For the Keto Brioche Dough
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp xanthan gum
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- ⅓ cup warm almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp yeast (optional – for flavor only, not rising)
Egg Wash
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp water
Ingredient Notes (Why These Ingredients Work)
- Almond Flour: Creates a soft, bread-like texture resembling traditional brioche.
- Coconut Flour: Helps with structure and moisture absorption so the bread isn’t dense.
- Xanthan Gum: Acts as a gluten replacement to hold the dough together.
- Butter: Essential for that signature brioche richness.
- Eggs: Provide lift, moisture, and the classic fluffy crumb.
- Yeast: Optional but adds authentic bakery flavor and aroma.
Step-by-Step Instructions
✅ 1. Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk well to eliminate any lumps.
🧈 2. Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, warm almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or mixer until a thick dough forms. If using yeast, stir it into the dough now.
🍞 3. Shape & Rest
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the dough into the pan and gently shape it into a smooth top using a spatula. Allow it to sit for 30–45 minutes — this helps the dough relax and enhances texture.
✨ 4. Brush with Egg Wash
Mix egg yolk with water and brush the top of the dough for a glossy golden finish after baking.
🔥 5. Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the brioche for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The kitchen aroma alone will make you smile!
❄️ 6. Cool Before Slicing
Let the brioche cool completely before cutting. This step ensures the bread stays fluffy and holds its shape.
