You know that heartbreak when you spot the last slice of cake… only to realize someone else took it? Yeah, that was life without brioche for common folk in 17th-century France. While the rich feasted on golden, buttery loaves, everyone else chewed on dry, sad bread. If I had lived back then, I’d 100% be sneaking brioche under my coat, Robin Hood-style.
Brioche’s Secret Black Market…?
Imagine bakers whispering in alleyways, “Psst… I’ve got the good stuff—soft, buttery, fresh.” Would I have traded my shoes for a slice? No doubt. But today, we don’t need to strike shady deals for Keto Brioche—we get all the flavor, none of the carbs. A win-win!
The Sweet Taste of Victory (and Butter!)
And now? We eat buttery brioche without guilt. If I could time travel, I’d tell those 17th-century nobles, “Not only do we have unlimited brioche, but we made it keto!” They’d probably gasp in horror.
So go on—toast it, butter it, and take a bite. We’ve officially made history delicious.

Tips & FAQs
How do you make brioche bread in a breadmaker?
Making Keto Brioche in a breadmaker is easy and hands-off! Just add ingredients in the correct order: milk, eggs, flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and butter. Let the bread machine knead the dough, rise, and bake. For a rich, fluffy texture, use the “sweet bread” setting if available. Adding butter gradually during the kneading process helps achieve the classic soft crumb. Want a deeper golden crust? Brush the top with an egg wash before baking!
What can you make with brioche bread?
Brioche is incredibly versatile! Here are some delicious ways to use it:
French Toast – Its dense, buttery texture soaks up custard perfectly.
Bread Pudding – Cubed brioche makes an ultra-rich, decadent dessert.
Gourmet Sandwiches – Perfect for grilled cheese, ham & cheese croissants, or even Nutella-filled sandwiches!
Brioche Burger Buns – Shape into buns and use for juicy burgers.
Strawberry Shortcake Base – Use brioche instead of biscuits for a soft, cake-like twist.
Keto Version – Try making a low-carb brioche loaf for a keto-friendly alternative!
How many carbs are in a brioche bun?
A standard brioche bun contains 25-30g of carbs per serving, making it higher in carbs than regular white bread due to its sugar and butter content. If you’re on a low-carb or keto diet, opt for a Keto Brioche recipe that replaces flour with almond flour or whey protein to keep carbs low.
Is brioche bread high in carbs?
Yes! Regular Keto Brioche is high in carbs, typically 30-35g per slice. Since it contains added sugar and enriched flour, it has more carbs than most other breads. If you’re watching your carb intake, consider a gluten-free brioche alternative or a Keto Brioche recipe that swaps high-carb ingredients for low-carb substitutes.

Note
I’ll be honest—when I first made this Keto Brioche, I was nervous. My husband is a bread purist, and my kids? Well, they think anything keto is an undercover veggie. But the moment this golden beauty came out of the oven, the smell alone had them circling the kitchen like hungry little sharks. One bite in, and boom—gone! My husband even said, "Are you sure this is keto?" (which, let’s be real, is the ultimate compliment). Now, it’s a household staple. If my picky crew approves, trust me—you’re gonna love it too!
