How to Make Keto No Knead Rosemary Cranberry Bread
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, rosemary, and chopped cranberries. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Step 4: Make the Dough
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon until a thick dough forms. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so the psyllium husk can absorb moisture.
Step 5: Shape the Loaf
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle extra rosemary or seeds on top if desired.
Step 6: Bake
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The bread should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 7: Cool Completely
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use unsweetened dried cranberries to keep the recipe keto friendly.
- Fresh rosemary provides the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used if needed.
- Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to help maintain its structure.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- For a stronger rosemary flavor, add an extra teaspoon of chopped rosemary.
