It adds the moisture content in the dough to prevent it from drying out and creates a creamy texture. It adds a subtle taste to fix the richness.

ALMOND FLOUR:

Utilize this flour to make the keto bread. It will help to keep the bread moist and add a light, nutty taste. Utilize the fine flour to provide a smooth texture.

EGGS:

Use the eggs to provide the shape. It also helps in binding the bread and provides the texture. Eggs also add protein content to this bread.

BAKING POWDER:

Baking powder is used to provide the rise in this focaccia bread. If we exclude this, the bread becomes slightly dense.
