Do you want to know how to bake Keto Bread?
Baking can be intimidating on the keto diet because it is not as easy as swapping high carb ingredients with low carbs. You can easily buy keto baked items from the stores but prepping them in your kitchen is more fruitful. Following are some keto baking tips that will make you confident in creating your own delicious low-carb baked goods at home.
Start with keto baking recipes that are already developed and tested. Experiment and keep improving your baking skills by using their flours and ingredients, and in this way, you will also learn how the low-carb ingredients interact. And, then move on to develop your family baking recipes into low-carbs ones.
Secondly, choosing the right keto-friendly flour is very important. For keto baked goods, you will have to replace your regular whole wheat flour with flours made with high-fat and low-carb nuts or seeds. There are so many low-carb flour choices like almond flour, coconut flour, flax meal, hazelnut flour, sunflower seed flour, and sesame seed flour, and these all choices can make you overwhelming. Among all keto flours, almond flour is the easiest of all to work with. However, each flour has its own texture, colors, and weight. Again, look for recipes that are close to what you aim to make, practice with them and then make your own collections by using your keto flour experiences.
Similarly, cream cheese and butter need to be softened. If these ingredients are too cold, they won't evenly mix into your dough and may make clumps. Therefore, properly soften the cream cheese and butter by microwaving them for 10 seconds and then add into the dough.
It is tempting to just take ingredients from the refrigerator and dump them, but it can make a big difference to the end results of the baked goods. Eggs and other refrigerated liquids like milk need to come to room temperature or else, just like cream cheese and butter, they will clump up in your dough.
Keto flours lacked gluten, and it makes them stick a little more in the bowl or baking pans. To avoid this, generously grease your baking pans with butter or spray them with oil and then add dough in them.
Last but not the least, resist yourself to add liquid to thin the batter as low-carb batters are thickener than regular batter. By adding more liquid in the batter, you may end up with a goopy mess that won't be baked thoroughly. Your batter should be thick enough to spread easily in the baking pan, and if it is too thick to spread, then there may be something wrong. Some brands of low-carb flours are less absorbent, and some are less, and it will turn your batter too thin or thick. Use your baking instinct and experiences with keto flour to find out whether your batter or dough is right, too thin or too thick. If the batter is too thick, then gradually stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or if the batter is too thin, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons flour until the batter reaches to right consistency.
