This super easy low carb rye cocktail bread recipe is perfect for serving with my Baked Reuben Dip. Make beautiful party canapes or finger sandwiches. Or they’re perfect for a snack plate or box. Trim Healthy Mamas, these little cocktail breads are your low carb answer to your rye bread craving.
If you’ve ever wondered, “is rye bread low carb?” I sadly have to say no, it’s not. At least not unless you’re making my low carb mock rye bread anyway.
Exactly 3 years ago today I published the recipe for Mock Rye Bread. It’s a super easy, single serving low carb rye bread that’s perfect for Reubens or your favorite deli meats and cheeses.
I didn’t realize that I was creating yet another mock rye recipe on the exact same day when I set out to make low carb rye cocktail bread today!
Since I don’t have a little loaf pan with a lid for making little square-shaped loaves of bread I had to think of another way to make them.
Inspiration struck as I was testing my Low Carb Baked Reuben Dip. Make a big batch of low carb rye bread batter and spread it out on a cookie sheet.
Turns out, this was a stroke of brilliance! Not only do you end up with lovely little low carb rye cocktail bread, it also takes less than half an hour to mix and bake!
You do need to let the bread cool completely before cutting and removing from the baking sheet.
However, the bread is thin and cools quickly. So definitely well under an hour and you have low carb, gluten free rye cocktail bread just perfect for entertaining (or snacking).
What’s in Mock Rye Cocktail Bread?
I used THM Baking Blend for this recipe but you can use a DIY baking blend instead. Just be sure to read the author’s notes about how it compares to the original and make adjustments as needed in measurements.
While I haven’t tried this, the Frugal Flour Mix mentioned in Trim Healthy Table is a substitute for Baking Blend. You’ll find that on page 40.
You’ll also need eggs, butter (or a dairy free alternative if needed), caraway seeds, nutritional yeast, and baking powder.
TIP: Use a coffee or spice grinder to grind the caraway seeds into a fine powder. If you like seeded rye bread, feel free to add some whole seeds to the mixture.

Hi Dawn,
I’m really intrigued by this recipe. For the ground caraway seeds, do you measure whole first and then grind? Also, do I have to grind them? I really love caraway seeds and would love to just leave them whole and skip grinding altogether. Finally, do these freeze well after cooling and cutting?
Thanks so much for your help, I look forward to your response!
Gratefully,
Jenny

Hi Jenny! Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying. To answer your questions:
I grind the seeds first then measure. I don’t remember now how much whole seeds equals 3 teaspoons, but I’m thinking 2 to 2.5 teaspoons. I’ll have to check and update the post so thank you for this question!
If you want a darkish, rye style bread then yes the grinding is necessary. Otherwise you just have low carb bread with caraway seeds. You can try that certainly, tho! I am not a fan of whole caraway seeds so I don’t put them in whole. You can also grind some and also use whole seeds for a kind of seeded rye bread.
Finally, I have not tried to freeze them. I did try freezing my Mock Rye Cocktail Breads ( ) and did not like them, they were very dry. They are quite a bit thinner though so that may be the problem.
I’d tentatively say that perhaps freezing for a week or 2 at the most might be ok.
Hope you gave this a try and enjoyed it! I’ll also email you in case you miss this reply here on the blog.
