Bread on a Keto diet? Sounds too good to be true to you, right? But it’s possible! However, don’t think it’s another one of those almond flour-loaded, egg-heavy recipes. It’s a gluten-free, high-fibre, low-carb Keto Ragi Bread recipe. Made from finger millet flour (Ragi) and psyllium husk, this bread is a perfect blend of Keto-friendly ingredients and Indian supergrains. It is soft and slightly nutty, making it a wonderful treat for those craving a read bread without consuming carbs unnecessarily.
I personally love the earthy flavor of ragi – a staple in many Indian homes for centuries. Ragi is rich in iron, calcium, and complex carbs. This makes it a healthier alternative to wheat flour. But the real twist in the recipe comes with psyllium husk that’s gut-friendly and aids in weight management.
Whether you are looking for a sandwich base, a hearty dinner roll, or need something warm to relish with butter and soup, bookmark this recipe to align with your Ketogenic Lifestyle.
