Learn how to turn your revived Sinless Sourdough starter into a powerhouse loaf that’s high in protein, low in carbs, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for keto bakers, diabetics, and anyone focused on blood sugar balance, this recipe transforms your sourdough discard into guilt-free goodness.

Basic Process Overview

  1. You can prepare this loaf using the low carb high protein basic biscuit recipe and add 1/4 cup of avocado oil or olive oil.
  2. Add powdered sweetener to sweet breads like banana or blueberry and lemon.  You can use a coffee grinder to powder any granular sweetener.
  3. Fold in mix-ins for flavour variations after initial mixing
  4. Fatty ingredients like cheese will weight down the dough and therefore the finished loaf won’t achieve the same height.
  5. Bake in a bread pan with a two-stage baking process (partially covered with foil)
  6. Allow to cool before slicing

Why This Recipe Works 💪

Unlike traditional sourdoughs heavy in gluten and carbs, this version relies on almond flour and coconut flour, two flours that:

  • Support blood sugar control

  • Keep net carbs low

  • Provide plant-based protein and fiber

The combination of cottage cheese, eggs, and psyllium husk helps create that classic sourdough texture — crusty outside, tender inside — without the blood sugar spike.


Troubleshooting Guide 🧠

  • Dense loaf? Add a little extra vinegar or baking powder next time.

  • Too moist? Reduce psyllium or bake uncovered longer.

  • Flat top? Avoid overmixing and use room-temperature eggs.


Serving Ideas 🍳🥗

  • Classic: Toast with butter and cinnamon

  • Hearty: Pair Rosemary & Olive variation with creamy soups

  • Sweet: Spread Pumpkin Spice slices with sugar-free cream cheese

  • Elegant: Serve Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta at brunches with eggs and greens


Storage Tips 🧊

  • Room Temperature: Up to 2 days in airtight container

  • Refrigerator: 5–7 days wrapped in parchment and foil

  • Freezer: Up to 1 month; slice first and toast directly from frozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240g) 4% fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) avocado oil (for sweet bread) or olive oil (for savory bread)

  • 1/2 cup (120g) Sinless Sourdough™ living starter
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons (18g) psyllium husk
  • (+1 tablespoon / 6g more if needed for texture)

  • (Use more if adding heavy mix-ins like nuts or seeds)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  4. To the mixing bowl add ½ cup Sinless Sourdough living starter.
  5. Your Sinless living starter (specifically the coconut & almond flour blend) will be dry and crumbly. That’s perfect. Do not add water.
  6. Add almond flour, psyllium, salt and baking powder. Mix into a moist dough.
  7. If the dough is too wet add one tbsp at a time of psyllium.
  8. If the dough is too dry add 1 tbsp at a time of milk (cow’s, almond, coconut)

  10. Whisk the egg. Brush egg wash on top of bread.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes.
  12. Add foil to cover the loaf.
