Keto & Gluten-Free Baguette

This recipe cracks the code for a wonderfully chewy, sandwich-ready keto and gluten-free baguette that tastes remarkably like the real thing, without all the carbs and gluten.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups / 168g (5.9 oz) almond flour
  • 5 Tbsp (45 g / 1.59 oz) psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tsp (8 g / 0.28 oz) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 2 ½ Tbsp / 37ml (1.3 fl oz) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the baguettes with a beaten egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds or coarse salt before baking.
  • Ensure you are using psyllium husk *powder*, not whole husks. The powder is much more absorbent and crucial for the bread's structure.
  • The dough will be sticky. Keep your hands slightly damp while shaping the loaves to make it much easier to handle.
  • Allow the baguettes to cool completely before slicing. This is essential for the interior to set properly and achieve the best bread-like texture.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  4. Add the egg whites and apple cider vinegar to the dry .
  5. Mix with a spatula or electric mixer until a thick, paste-like dough forms.
  6. While mixing on low, slowly and carefully pour in the boiling water.
  7. Mix until the dough comes together.
  8. Don't over-mix; it will thicken as it rests.
  9. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking and divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions.
  10. Shape each portion into a small baguette log and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  11. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the baguettes are firm to the touch and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  12. Let them cool on a wire rack before slicing. They are delicious warm but will develop a better texture once fully cooled.
