Gluten Free Low Carb Bread

🍞 Egg White Bread Loaf

This Egg White Bread Loaf is a light, airy, protein-packed alternative to traditional bread — perfect for anyone following a gluten-free, low-carb, keto, or high-protein lifestyle. Instead of relying on wheat, nuts, or heavy flours, this bread is made almost entirely from egg whites and a touch of powdered egg whites or whey protein. The result is a beautifully risen loaf with a soft crumb, mild flavour, and an incredibly satisfying texture that toasts perfectly.

What makes this recipe so powerful is its simplicity. Using only a handful of ingredients, you create a bread that’s low in carbohydrates, gentle on digestion, and packed with clean protein. It’s ideal for those who want a bread-like option without gluten, grains, seed oils, or excess calories — especially helpful for individuals focusing on metabolic health, blood sugar balance, autoimmune-friendly diets, or fat-loss journeys.

Enjoy it with sweet or savoury toppings: spread it with butter, avocado, jam, Greek yogurt, smoked salmon, nut butters, or enjoy as sandwich bread. It’s versatile, easy to slice, and becomes even more delicious when lightly toasted.

This loaf proves that gluten-free eating doesn’t have to feel restrictive — you can still enjoy bread that’s soft, nutritious, and incredibly satisfying.

Ingredient Benefits

Butter or Tallow

A small amount of butter or tallow greases the pan and adds richness.

  • Butter contains fat-soluble vitamins A & K2 and adds flavour.

  • Tallow is stable at high heat, rich in natural fats, and ideal for grain-free or carnivore-inspired baking.

Liquid Egg Whites

Egg whites are a pure, high-quality protein source with virtually no fat or carbohydrates.
Benefits include:

  • Supports lean muscle

  • Helps stabilize blood sugar

  • Low calorie but very filling

  • Gentle on digestion
    They also create the structure and rise of the loaf.

Powdered Egg Whites or Whey Protein Powder

These ingredients help strengthen the bread’s structure, giving it a better crumb and preventing collapse.

  • Powdered egg whites increase protein density and create a firmer, bread-like texture.

  • Whey protein adds softness and elasticity thanks to its amino acid profile.
    Both help the loaf rise beautifully and slice cleanly.

Sea Salt

Sea salt enhances flavour and provides trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and sodium. These support hydration, nerve function, and overall electrolyte balance — especially helpful in low-carb or keto lifestyles.

Cream of Tartar

Cream of tartar stabilizes the egg whites as they whip, helping them achieve maximum volume. It prevents deflation and creates a fluffier, lighter loaf. It also naturally supports better rising without artificial ingredients.
