The DietDoctor.com has become the number one website for low carb resources on the internet! Their success comes well earned as they are a team led by Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt and his wife Kristin (who is so nice)!
The site is a fountain of legitimate information and thousands of recipes. Namely their most famous recipe, the keto bread. The diet doctor keto bread roll recipe made with almond flour.
This recipe originally formulated by the Keto Queen herself, Maria Emmerich has quickly become an internet sensation. Find that recipe HERE.
INSPIRED BY DIET DOCTOR
I am a new contributor to them. I have just begun creating Latin recipes for their site and will be writing dairy free, nut free and otherwise allergen-friendly recipes for Diet Doctor. They are really nice folks.
While I’m having a great time working with them, those rolls had me craving some, bad. And I still don’t do so well with almond flour based baked foods. So! I made a nut-free keto bread. A copycat version of the famous Diet Doctor keto bread. I had to tweak the recipe ever so slightly to make it work with the new adjustments, but hot damn, I nailed it!
It’s REALLY HIGH IN FIBER. ALL fiber actually! So calm down when you see the carb count. Either way, this kind of thing isn’t meant to be eaten all the time. I bet it will help move things along if you know what I mean (insert poop emoji here).
Pickle Juice
I used coconut flour, in the appropriate amount. Added a bit more psyllium husk, sifted the flour and used pickle juice instead of vinegar.
Trust me! You can use vinegar, but I love the pickle flavor. It’s subtle and REALLY drives home the bread …. er sandwich flavor! This Diet Doctor Keto Bread is legit! IF my coconut flour version came out this good, I bet their almond meal version is dreamy AF too!

Description
A nut free copycat recipe of the famous Diet Doctor Keto Bread, because us almond free folks deserve good bread too 🙂 *The original recipe was adapted from Maria Emmerich*
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 6 tablespoons psyllium husk whole or 5 tablespoons of the powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (see notes for corn free)
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 teaspoons pickle juice (or vinegar)
- 3 large egg whites, lightly whisked
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or coconut oil spray)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F, convection (or 375 F bake).
- Sift together the coconut flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Add in the psyllium husk and whisk to combine.
- Add the egg whites and pickle juice to the flour and quickly whisk in.
- Pour in all of the boiling water.
- Whisk together quickly until a lumpy almost curdled looking dough forms. Then switch to a spatula or use your hands to fold it a few times and smooth it out, so it’s like playdough.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a large scoop to make 5 buns, scooping them onto the parchment paper. Or just use your hands to shape 5 small buns, about 1/3 cup each.
- Spray with coconut oil liberally. Or gently brush with coconut oil.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, or poppy seeds etc.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes on the bottom rack, until browned on the outside and very firm and puffy. They should sound hollow if you tap on them. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, you can always crack one bun open to check before pulling them all out.
- Remove from the oven an let them cool for 20 minutes or more before handling. This is important because the rolls will finish cooking inside while they cool. IF you open them too soon they will be a little gooey in the middle.
- Last a week stored in the fridge, wrapped up. Toast to heat!
Recipe Notes:
I sift together equal parts cream of tartar, baking soda and arrowroot starch for homemade corn-free baking powder!

Cristina says
Yeahh thanks Nancy!
Nina says
Hello, Cristina. I want to thank you for coming up with a recipe that is not using Almond flour. In our country Almond flour is so expensive and hard to find. Can I replace coconut oil with olive oil? I was about to make this but ran out of coconut oil
Cristina says
Yes olive oil should be fine
Aldana says
Loved this recipe!!! I will make it at once!!! If I don’t have arrowroot starch, can I only use Baking soda plus the cream of tartar?
Cristina says
it won’t work right without a starch, do you have regular baking powder around? or cassava flour? if you can tolerate it corn starch will work too
Elizabeth says
Beautiful bread! And so easy to make ?
Cristina says
yeayy thank you so much
Kerri J says
I’m watching them bake right now and they’re not puffing up which I’m assuming these will be super dense when finished. Anyone know why this could’ve happened?
Cristina says
I hope they rose for you, baking them enough time is important for them to not be dense and fully cooked, and baking on the BOTTOM rack in the oven. other things to consider is making sure the baking powder you used wasnt expired.
Ana Martins says
A M A Z I N G! Works like a charm, tastes better than bread, way better than any other keto recipes I’ve tried.

Cristina says
YEAYYYY!! thanks so much!
Duke says
made this many times, and they always turn on excellent.
Recently, I made them in a convection oven. Temp adjusted down 25 degrees. Same time. They puffed up larger than the oven, and were hollow. Cut back baking power by 50% same result. Completely removed baking power, still large puffs.
I’d really like to use my small convention oven, but don’t understand what’s going on.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cristina says
I had to do a little digging and I found this great article on Bob’s Red Mill that might explain this… “Like anything in the kitchen, an oven with convection is better for some recipes, while it may not be the best choice for all recipes. With any recipes that require rising, such as cakes, bread or other baked goods, you may have strange results with a convection oven. The convection oven could accidentally cook the outside of the dish before the dough is through rising, which can cause strange textures and lopsided batters (no one likes a bumpy cake!). We definitely recommend using a conventional oven for any recipes that require rising, as you do not want to cook the outside before the inside is finished leavening. The convection can also dry out the inside of these recipes, such as bread, cake, soufflé, flan, or other baked goods so you want to steer clear of that setting if you want your final product to be nice and moist. Overall, the convection oven setting is a great choice if you want a crisp, quick, product, but if you want your dish to maintain moisture or rise before it is finished baking, then stick with the conventional oven.”
