I appreciate how this recipe delivers the texture and flavor of classic bread while staying low in carbs. The combination of almond and coconut flour creates a unique taste and structure, and I enjoy how simple the process is. It is perfect for sandwiches, spreads, or even as a side to meals.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
200 g di farina di mandorle (sottile e di alta qualità) 100 g di farina di cocco 1 cucchiaino di bicarbonato di sodio 1 cucchiaino di sale fino (o sale marino) 5 uova grandi (a temperatura ambiente) 60 ml di olio extravergine d’oliva (o olio di avocado) 120 ml di acqua calda (non bollente) 1 cucchiaino di aceto di mele
Directions
I start by preparing the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, I sift together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. I mix everything well to ensure there are no lumps and the ingredients are evenly combined.
In another bowl, I whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Then I add the olive oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar, mixing until the liquid mixture is smooth.
I pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix everything together using a spoon or spatula until I get a thick and slightly sticky dough.
I divide the dough into three equal portions. On a lightly greased surface or parchment paper, I shape each portion into a baguette form, about 20–25 cm long. I gently flatten them slightly if needed.
I preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and place the shaped baguettes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. I bake them for 25–30 minutes until they are golden brown and firm on the outside.
Once baked, I transfer them to a rack and let them cool completely before slicing. I find this step important to help the texture set properly. I like serving them with butter, spreads, or as a base for savory toppings.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 3 servings. I usually spend about 15–20 minutes preparing the dough and shaping it, then bake for 25–30 minutes, bringing the total time to around 55 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add seeds like sesame or flax for extra texture and nutrition. When I want more flavor, I mix in dried herbs such as rosemary or oregano. I also like brushing the top with a little olive oil before baking for a richer crust.
Storage/reheating
I store the baguettes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, I freeze them and thaw before use. To reheat, I warm them in the oven to restore their crispiness.
FAQs
Can I replace almond flour?
I find almond flour essential for this recipe, but I can experiment with other low-carb flours, keeping in mind the texture may change.
Why is my dough sticky?
This is normal due to the coconut flour and eggs. I handle it with slightly oiled hands to make shaping easier.
Can I make smaller portions?
Yes, I divide the dough into smaller pieces to make rolls instead of baguettes.
How do I know when they are done baking?
I look for a golden brown color and a firm outer crust.
Can I toast these baguettes?
Yes, I slice and toast them, and they become even crispier and more delicious.
Conclusion
I find this keto baguette to be a fantastic alternative to traditional bread. It is simple to make, flavorful, and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy bread while keeping things low-carb.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to help it firm up.
