With only 3 ingredients, this bread is easy and inexpensive to make. There are a few other low calorie bread recipes out there, but they cost up to $7 per loaf and call for ingredients so hard to find, you have hot order then online.
Healthy Bread Ingredients:
- All-Purpose Flour – you can swap out for gluten-free 1:1 (one to one) flour
- Rapid Rise Yeast – make sure it’s fresh, or your bread won’t rise (there should be an expiration date on the packet)
- Salt – you can skip if you need a low sodium version
Ingredient Swaps:
- Flour – you can use gluten free 1:1 (one to one flour) or whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose.
- Yeast – if you don’t have rapid rise, regular bread yeast will work, but it might take a little longer to rise.
- Salt – if you are looking to lower the sodium, you can skip the salt or cut the amount in half.
How to Make Low Calorie Bread
If you have a standing mixer with a dough hook, you can use it here. But you won’t need a ton of kneading, so I left it out of the original recipe. This was to keep cleanup extra easy.
Tools and Equipment:
- Large bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Loaf pan
- Parchment paper
How to Make the Lowest Calorie Bread:
- Line a bread loaf with parchment paper (if you crumple it up in a ball and then smooth out first, it’s easier.)
- In a large bowl combine the water and yeast, leave it foam up for 5 minutes.
- Add in the flour and salt and mix until well combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and then a kitchen towel, and leave to rise for 1 hour.
- When the dough has doubled in size, move it to the loaf pan and cover again with the plastic wrap and towel.
- After one more hour of rising it shook have doubled in size again. At the time, preheat your oven to 450 degrees and remove the parchment paper and towel.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Slice into 22 slices, and serve.

This easy bread does take a bit of rising time, but otherwise it’s super simple and fun to make. I like to make a double batch and freeze one loaf for later.
