Keto Bread: From Bagels and Buns to Crusts and Muffins, 100 Low-Carb, Keto-Friendly Breads for Every Meal (Keto Diet Cookbook Series)

Excellent book
I started Keto early December, but decided to mix it with the Mediterranean diet as I wanted to focus on lower, quality carbs in my diet but not so restrictive I'd have to worry about some of the negative affects of Keto dieting - especially for older women. I find the two complement each other quite well - I follow the Keto bread / baking / dessert recipes mostly and Mediterranean for everything else. This is a combination I can easily maintain and hardly ever want to stray as it is very satisfying, even in the sweet departments. Anyway, this book is perfect. There is probably only 2 recipes I wouldn't normally make, but really only because I never had them before. The variety of recipes are those we all know just Ketofied. The Tips, Keto Baking Basics, explanation of alternative ingredients used, etc. is a great beginning to this book for people. I love the Nutrition facts broken down per serving after every recipe. It helps you work with your Macros for the day. I especially love that every 3rd or so recipe has a photograph - good number of photos in this book. I love that, photos make a recipe / cook book. I even appreciate the quality of the paper in this book - like smooth photo paper. I would not hesitate to purchase more recipe books written by Faith / Lara.

Very helpful
It explains a lot about the keto ingredients. I’m not doing the keto diet full on but trying to cut back on sugars and eat healthier. Very glad to get this

Tortillas more like crepes but pretty good!
I liked the book as far as recipes go but agree with other buyers that the math in the carb courts are way off in some recipes. I’ve only made the English muffins and liked them. (Nothing like a good old real muffin!) I’ve started experimenting with additives to the recipe and am pleased. Stirred pumpkin spice in 2 of my last batch and really good. I also made recipe into 5 cakes with thinner form.Update: made the tortillas today (half recipe) and pretty good. I’d add more salt and they are tricky to flip. Luckily I had a large spatula! They really are more like crepes. So next time I may add sugar and use for crepes. I’m not sure they’d be strong enough for wrappers.🤷♀️🥴

Loved this!
Loved this book! There were a lot of recipes and a nice variety of them. I love how she incorporated the bread recipes with other recipes. For example, she has an English muffin recipe that she incorporated with a breakfast sandwich recipe. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone on a low carb/ low sugar diet!

Great low carb pizza recipe
This book does a good job of explaining alternative ingredients. I have made the almond flour / mozzarella based pizza several times, with excellent results. I shape the crust on lightly oiled baking paper, and place that directly on a preheated pizza oven. Pre-baking the crust alone at about 420 degrees for 5 minutes, then adding sauce and toppings and then back in the oven for about 8 minutes still on the baking paper, then place on heavy cookie sheet for cutting into slices, and back in on the paper on the sheet on the stone for 3-8 minutes with oven off, just to crisp up a bit more. I also add garlic powder and oregano to the flour mixture. So nice to have pizza again, while avoiding sugar and carbs!

Requires Many Specialty (i.e. Expensive) Ingredients
If you have a small budget, you likely won't be making any of these recipes except as an occasional treat (I can't speak to the taste of them since I can't afford to buy the ingredients). Sadly, this seems to be the case for all keto bread products. There just isn't a good low carb substitute for wheat. (Wheat: the real reason humans gave up hunting and gathering.)(I borrowed this book from my local library.)

Very good!
I made the sandwich bread. I failed. It was my fault left out the butter… BUT I made these two pizzas followed the dough part perfectly ( which is hard for me to do) made the white cheese. Garlic sauce is sooo good! Then I added veggies to it. The other I added my own touches. The crust made it all come together. I think you do need a clay stone to brown and crisp the crust just right.

Highly recommend
So far, I've baked the bagels, English muffins, and the banana bread. Particularly LOVE the bagels, and make them frequently. They make for great sandwiches too. The English muffins are good too, but thought the banana bread wasn't quite sweet enough (although my boyfriend liked it so I gave it to him). I recommend ordering the hard-to-find items like beef gelatin and psyllium husk powder online. Save yourself from running all over town and up and down the isles of stores looking for it.

Lots of recipes
Gave a good variety of recipes. Not to hard to make them

Great book
Can't wait to try out some of the recipes. I guess it's aimed at the American market because of measures ( cups and pounds), some of the ingredients such as half and half (which I had never heard of and had to look up) and recipes such as pumpkin pie. Yes pie in a bread book ;) there is a US metric conversion chart in the back though

Not very good recipes
Most of them are not fluffy as other keto breads I’ve made. The pizza, focaccia bread recipes are ok!

Amazing Book
A big thank you to the Authors for taking the time, love and dedication to detail each bread recipe to the most fundamental detail. I have so far tried 3 bread recipes; the Pizza Base, Focaccia Bread and the White fluffy whey protein bread. All three turned out yummy. Looking forward to trying more over the coming weeks. If you are on a Keto/Low carb diet, this is your bread bible. Get it now, thank us later. Cheers

Title is misleading, only 19 bread recipes, not 101
The title is Keto Bread ‘101 low-carb, keto friendly breads for every meal’. This is not the case, one chapter is bread with about 19 ‘bread’ recipes in total (pastry is not bread) with the rest of the book full of recipes you can eat with the bread you have already made and some desserts at the end. I will be returning this.
