Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bread really zero carbs?
No. There is no reliable way to make bread like this completely carbohydrate-free. Cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour all contain small amounts of carbohydrates. This recipe is lower in carbs than traditional bread, but it is not zero-carb.
Can I use another flour?
Almond flour works best in this recipe. Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid and would require adjustments to the ingredients.
