Why Carnivore Bread Keeps Failing (And How to Fix It)
Carnivore bread keeps failing because most recipes ignore how bread actually works.
In this video, I break down the three pillars that fix it: rise, structure, and moisture.
If you’ve tried carnivore bread and ended up with something dense, eggy, dry, or disappointing — you’re not alone.
Most carnivore bread recipes fail because they skip the fundamentals of bread science.
This recipe works because we solve the real problems, not the symptoms.
In this video, I walk you through:
• Why carnivore bread struggles to rise (and how to fight gravity)
• How protein structure determines whether bread holds together or collapses
• Why fat is critical for moisture without making bread soggy
• Why gelatin works here — and collagen doesn’t
• How to fix dense or eggy bread if you’ve failed before
This isn’t a gimmick.
It’s not “good for being carnivore.”
It’s bread that actually eats like bread — without the plants.
Here’s the recipe card for you:

If you’ve tried carnivore bread before and it was dense, dry, or eggy, read this 👇
This recipe is adjustable — bake time, air, and structure all matter.
The video shows how to avoid the most common mistakes, and the recipe card includes extra tweaks if you still need to fine-tune it.
I’ll watch the video, try it out and pray it passes muster. So, far, majority of the carnivore substitutes, for me, have failed on one way or another. God bless
Your Facebook post about the rude comment made me come watch this video. I guess proves the algorithm can't distinguish rude comments and positive comments 😂. Loved the video and your explanation of each ingredient.
You went to all this trouble, and it looks like you really did put in a lot of effort, to come up with recipe for a loaf the size of a Twinky. Why didn't you go the last ten yards and come up with a recipe for a real man-size loaf???
Looks delicious!
QUESTION: I am really bad at separating eggs – do you think reconstituted dried egg yolks will work? I have liquid egg whites and dried, so I am good to go with the rest of the ingredients.
EDIT: The powdered yolks were not a good choice – made the bread taste like scrambled eggs!
DID SOMEBODY SAY BREAD???/
Thanks Chris! Going to try to make some today!
The bread pan link goes to a 3 pack of silicone pans, 10.25x5x3. Is this the correct one? You kept saying it made a small loaf, not this large size.
TY for including weights in the recipe card
Can't wait to try this
Well done!!! God Bless!!!!
I just attempted this today. I will have to try again because my gelatin mixture seized up as soon as I put it in the soft whipped cream. Please update your instructions to say all of the ingredients need to be room temperature
I'm in Iraq; I don't have access to egg white powder. What's the best carnivore bread recipe that doesn't require egg white powder? 🙏 Would love to try this… hopefully next time I'm back in the States; probably not for a couple of years at least though, and would love to have something "bread"-y before then 😄
Chris, you're looking fantastic 🎉❤🎉
Thanks for all your recipes!!!
Your next or future challenge: Long John Silvers carnivore chicken/fish, that delicious salty tempura like crunchy awesomeness! Maybe?
Every time i make this it shrinks and keeps on shrinking untill it becomes like Styrofoam.
Thank you ❤️
This is crazy! Earlier this evening, the ladies in my husband's family were discussing making sourdough in a text message group. I told them I would just have to let them enjoy their sourdough. But now? Oh, yeah! I gotta make some bread! Oh, and I know it's not sourdough, but even the fact that you mentioned it seems providential! 😉
Thanks for all your great recipes, Chris!
добавьте в сухую смесь ещё 1 чайную ложку сухого лука и 1 чайную ложку сухого чеснока – будет бомба!)
а соль я добавляю именно в белки, они лучше взбиваются
и ещё, лимонную кислоту 1 чайн ложку в белки, а соду 1 чайную ложку в желтковую смесь, тогда время реакции оттягивается
и ещё, в белковую смесь при взбивании кладу 1 гр ксантановой камеди,тогда перевзбить белки невозможно, и это дополнительное удержание влаги
хлеб- ПРОСТО СУПЕР! мои все в восторге) спасибо огромное, Крис!)
Will definitely be trying this bread recipe this week! Have been searching for one I actually enjoy, haven't found one yet, this recipe just might be the one! Love how you go into detail in your videos. Any chance I could use this recipe to make burger buns? Thanks again for all you do for us! ❤
Chris, could some shredded cheese be folded into the batter before it goes into the pan, to make a cheese bread?
Your breads always seem to turn out great for me, but it is true that mixing just enough is the answer. I am excited to try this one out! I was wondering if you ever thought about a wood-fired pizza crust? I just feel that if anyone can magically make something like that, it would be you!
Love how you show the consistency of the mixture at each step. This is very helpful! You're a wonderful teacher!👍
Vegan meat, Carnivore bread,… oh my. How about sprout the grains, grind the grinds with added water (food processor in the modern age), with that grind with water put in bowl and let ferment as a gruel,…. after a couple or more days it should sufficiently soured (you can put it in the fridge if to suspend the souring), then cook in a double boiler (with stirring to distribute the heat well) as porridge. Eat, … with truly raw cheese.
