Come check out these Keto Bread recipes that will make your bread cravings a thing of the past. One of the first things most people miss when they start a Ketogenic lifestyle is bread. Unfortunately, store-bought options can be expensive and a lot of the recipes you’ll find online can be eggy tasting.
Is Bread Allowed On a Keto Diet?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. When you read the ingredients in traditional bread, you’ll find it is very high in carbohydrates. (Here’s everything you need to know about how to start on a ketogenic diet )
The keto lifestyle focuses on keeping those at a minimum. That’s why I came up with these Ketogenic Bread recipes .
What Is Keto Bread Made Of?
Keto bread recipes can be made of a variety of low carb ingredients. In a lot of the recipes I’ve found, the all-purpose flour is substituted for almond flour or coconut flour, which are low carbs.
In some recipes, flour is omitted totally and eggs, cheese, or nuts are used to make the low carb bread.
Is Keto Bread Gluten-Free?
Keto recipes are naturally very low in gluten. Some varieties may still contain ingredients that contain gluten, so always use caution.
It’s always best to read the full ingredient list before consuming any food if you have a known allergy. But keto breads are much more likely to be gluten-free than traditional bread recipes.
Can Keto Bread Be Frozen?
If you’re looking for recipes for Keto bread, they tend to produce a smaller amount of food than other bread recipes. This is because it has a shorter shelf life.
To ensure I’m not letting any food go to waste, I always like to freeze the unused bread if I don’t plan on eating it within a few days. To freeze it, I simply cut it into single portions and freeze flat in a freezer-safe baggie.
This allows you to pull it out one portion at a time. Voila! No waste, and a quick keto bread solution for when cravings hit.
The recipes below are the best easy low carb bread recipes you will find! Enjoy the convenience of a homemade keto bread. Not only are they not eggy tasting, people that don’t eat low carb will love them too.

A complete guide to making Instant Pot Yogurt. Step by step directions to use your electric pressure cooker for yogurt, greek yogurt, sweetened yogurt, yogurt tubes, and cold start yogurt, as well as a section on troubleshooting homemade yogurt.
WHY MAKE YOGURT AT HOME?
When you can buy yogurt at the store for very little money, why bother making your own? Here are a few reasons why people like home-made yogurt.
- No additives . No need to add sugar, gum, gelatin, or other additives. Milk. Yogurt starter. Done.
- Choice of milk. Whole milk, 2% milk, skim milk, goat milk, sheep’s milk, or even yogurt made with half and half–all of this is possible with Homemade Yogurt.
- Non-dairy milk yogurt. With a little know-how, you can make almond milk yogurt, soy milk yogurt, or coconut milk yogurt. If you want a dairy-free yogurt, making it at home is a fine way to do it.
- Mild or Tart. The longer you let it incubate, the more tart your yogurt. Usually, it sets in about 8 hours. If you let it keep incubating for 12 hours, you will have a very tart yogurt. So you have some control over the final product.
- Flavorings and sweetness of choice. Some of us like plain yogurt. Some of us like cardamom yogurt, or Vietnamese sweet yogurt. Some want to use a keto sweetener. Making yogurt at home lets you make any variation you prefer. You can also add vanilla extract or oddly enough, Crystal Light if you want to keep it low sugar yogurt.
- Sense of accomplishment. Honestly, this alone is reason enough to do it. It’s easy. It’s fun. Your kids will love doing it with you.
The creamy consistency of homemade Greek yogurt can be used in a variety of recipes , or you can simply add it to your morning smoothie or enjoy it by itself with some fruit , coconut and nuts garnished on top.
How to Make Homemade Instant Pot Yogurt | Hot Start Method
- Heat the milk. Pour 1/2 gallon milk into the Instant Pot liner. Place the lid and set your valve to VENTING or use a glass lid .
Pour cold milk into Instant Pot Po
- Press YOGURT until it says BOIL. You will be heating your milk to 180F. When the Pot beeps, test with a thermometer and then turn off the pot.
- Cool Milk. Place the pot in a sink of water, with the water coming up to halfway up the sides of the pot. Leave the thermometer in and when the milk reaches 110F, you are ready to proceed.
- Mix Starter. Using a whisk, blend together the warm and about 2 tablespoons of full-fat plain Greek yogurt with active, live cultures such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus . Do NOT use sweetened yogurt.
Add starter yogurt
- Incubate . Put the Instant Pot Liner back into the machine. Press YOGURT again and set it for 8 hours. Place the lid and set your valve to VENTING or use a glass lid .
- Chill . Place the yogurt in the fridge overnight. This helps the yogurt set properly without getting tart, and it gets thicker.
- Drain . Once the yogurt is set, you want to strain out the whey if you want Greek Yogurt, or you can eat it as it is.
You can use cheesecloth or a large coffee filter in a large stainless strainer, place the strainer over a bowl and let it drip in the fridge overnight.
Alternatively, you can buy a Cuispro Donvier yogurt maker which is easier to clean up. For larger quantities of yogurt, a Eurocuisine Greek Yogurt Maker works better.
Sweeten or flavor. I find it best to sweeten the yogurt after it is drained so you’re not draining your lovely honey down the drain. You can use honey, agave, or a keto-friendly sweetener. You could also consider adding sugar-free syrups .
Store . Place into individual yogurt jars and refrigerate for up to a week.
WHY HEAT THE MILK TO 180F TO MAKE YOGURT?
Many people believe that you get thicker yogurt from doing this. When you heat milk, the protein in milk denatures. This denatured protein intertwines with the casein from the yogurt and creates a thicker yogurt.
Here’s what I have found. If you use UHT milk, you can skip the heating step, and still get very thick yogurt. If you use UHT Ultra-Filtered milk like Fairlife, you can get excellent yogurt.
What is Cold Start Yogurt?
Cold Start Yogurt is when you start with room temperature milk and place it in the Instant Pot . You skip the whole first step of heating the milk, then cooling the milk, so it also referred to as the No-Boil Method.
Find the directions and video for how to make Instant Pot Cold Start Yogurt here.
Tips & Tricks for Perfect Instant Pot Yogurt
- Use HTC milk, Ultra-filtred milk or high protein milk like Fairlife for thick, yogurt especially for cold start yogurt.
- Do not use sweetened flavored yogurt.
- Use yogurt with live cultures .
- Use greek yogurt as your starter. Since extra whey has been drained out, it has more live cultures per tablespoon.
- Save 2-4 tablespoons of your yogurt as a starter before your family devours all of that deliciousness.
- If you intend to use it within a week, the starter will do fine in the fridge. Any longer than that, and you will want to freeze the starter .
- You can also make the yogurt in jars rather than the Instant Pot liner, as I did with this Vietnamese Yogurt recipe.
No Instant Pot? No problem! Find directions on how to make homemade greek yogurt in a slow cooker, in your oven, or on your countertop here.
Troubleshooting Instant Pot Yogurt
People in the Instant Pot Community WAY overthink yogurt. It’s not complicated!
But if you’ve never made it before, you may have a few questions. So here’s your troubleshooting guide with the most commonly asked questions about making yogurt.
Your starter was no good or weak. 2. Your milk was too hot. 3. You need to let it ferment longer. You can always add more starter to your milk/yogurt mixture and allow it to ferment again.
It hasn’t yet set. 2. You need to let it chill in the refrigerator. 3. The milk you used was thin. 4. You need to drain it using te methods described above.
You let the yogurt ferment too long. 2. The temperature around the yogurt was too warm, allowing the fermentation to proceed faster than anticipated. 3. Simply add some delicious sweeteners such as agave nectar, sugar or honey! 4. One way to stop yogurt from fermenting as quickly is to break up the curd. Using a spoon, stir up the yogurt. Usually, this stops it from fermenting as fast.
It is not. Ancient cultures have been making yogurt for centuries without access to refrigeration. It was in fact, a way to preserve milk without refrigeration. As long as it’s not too tart, and has no mold on it, it’s good to go.
It smells sour, and there’s a lot of extra liquid on top. Sometimes you see a visible bubbling and active fermenting. Throw it out.
Homemade yogurt usually lasts for 5-7 days with no issues. Since it’s not sealed in a plastic container, and since it doesn’t contain preservatives, it doesn’t last quite as long as commercially prepared yogurt.
Yup! Blend together 1 cup yogurt, 1 cup fresh berries or other fruit, a tablespoon or two of honey, and about 1/4 cup of milk. Make it a nice pouring consistency, and put into these refillable tubes.
