Only 3 ingredients in this keto-friendly bread recipe (1g net carbs in ⅛ loaf!). It's a basic protein bread made *without* almond flour.

Notes
Whatever you do, DO NOT substitute whey protein for the pea protein. The two types of protein powder bake very differently, and one cannot be substituted for the other. Use unflavored pea protein only.
If you don't mind cracking eggs and tossing the yolks, I suggest using fresh egg whites. The texture of the bread will be a bit lighter and less dense. But if you do use liquid egg whites, be sure to measure 528g (don't use 16x the 3 tablespoon serving they put on the carton). One large egg white is 33g, so 16 egg whites would be 528g.
I haven't tried any substitutions for the whole husk psyllium.
