Golden. Soft. Airy. Everything you want in a keto loaf. Plus, the crowning touch — sesame seeds. Try this bread with spicy stews, gratins or why not... a quick sandwich. It's gluten-free and super easy to make!

Tips
You can store the bread in the fridge for two to three days or slice it and freeze it for later use. Reheat at low temperature in the oven or microwave. You can even use the toaster for additional crispiness.
If you are looking for an excellent dish to go with the bread, try our Turkish baked shrimp recipe. Yum!
Not a fan of sesame seeds? Feel free to sub in poppy seeds or flaxseeds.

Yes.
Also, "cream cheese" can mean very different products. Please suggest a brand name as an example.
I find it in supermarkets in France but I also use the cheaper store brand labeled as "fromage frais à tartiner" (spreadable fresh cheese) and got good results.
The stuff I bought from a major health food store goes purple!
Great for Halloween but not for any other time!
Tasted good though.

I used full fat Philadelphia cream cheese, which is salty so I decreased the salt to 1/4 tsp. I also zapped the cream cheese for 30 seconds in the microwave, since a softened cream cheese mixes easier with other ingredients; all the other ingredients were at room temperature. I will try next time to beat the cream cheese first and then add the beaten eggs little by little (cheese cake style) for better mixing. The bread had tiny pieces of cream cheese still present, which by the way was fine. The bread does not toast easily but it is good to serve with stews and soups. I hope this helps some bakers.
