Low Carb Bread?

6 years ago

I have not yet tried this recipe, I am waiting for the xanthan gum and flaxseed. I recently bought coconut flour. Cup for cup, coconut flour is not that low carb but one uses a LOT less of it to make a loaf of bread. Of course I will have to wait and see for myself, but the comments describe it as having a breadlike texture and not dense. Will update the thread once I get everything together and bake it.

Keto Low Carb Coconut Flour Bread

The BEST Low Carb Bread for sandwiches!

1/2 cup coconut flour

I am on a low carb and gluten intolerant. I use this and it works out good and you don't need all those extra expensive ingredients. It makes a brown bread not a white one. I triple the recipe to make 8 buns or a loaf of bread.

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon flax seed meal

1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder (opt)

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

drop or 2 of stevia. ( I use about 1/2 teaspoon of powdered splenda in mine)

3 eggs

1 1/2 tablespoons water

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Mix all ingredients together. I let side for 5 min for the flax seed to soak up some of the liquid. Pour the batter into greased muffin top pans for hamburger buns filling 3/4 of the way up or into bread pan.

Bake 325 15-20 minutes.

I usually bake the buns because I put them in individual zip lock bags and freeze. I just pull one out of the freezer when I need one.

PS If there is a Chinese grocery store near you, they carry a lot of different kinds of alternate flours.

PSS Ground up pork rinds makes a good binder in meat loafs and if you add parm cheese and seasoning salt it makes a good breading for chicken.

I think there must be something missing because that amount would probably not make a loaf of anything even with the egg whites beaten to full fluff.

Millie, I think there's a Mennonite community in Sarratoga just a few miles up the road from me but if I can find a good recipe,I can make it myself. EP, forecaster say we can possibly have up to 45 miles an hour winds after Rita hit landfall. I'm stocking up at the grocery store,getting out watercans and ice chest. Hub's job said there'll be no gas come Monday(due to offshore oilwells shutting down getting ready for Rita)so I have to get some cans of gas for generator and carosine(sp?) for lamps.Check on supply of those little cansiters of propane for our little camp stove. We may get nothing more than some bad storms but I don't want to get caught out like the ice storm of 2000. We managed but that was a little too much "roughing" it. Wind gets to bad I may have to move all my renters in with us until it passes. They're in trailers and I wouldn't trust them in winds that high to stay on their foundations. It'll be a little crowded with six extra people but you do what you have to do. PP

Get a referral to a dietitian who can interact with the physician and clear things up, and then sit down with the woman her her companion. The dietitian will have enough credibility to calm things down. Medicare Part B may cover some limited medical nutrition therapy services by aMedicare-certified nutritionist, registered dietitian, or other Medicare-approved nutrition professional as part of doctor-prescribed diabetes care. Her medical clinic may offer some relatively "free" services to help her, too. Perhaps they hold a class for newly-diagnosed diabetics and pre-diabetics. Or maybe there is one at a nearby hospital. I took a class at the local hospital (not the one affiliated with my clinic) because it was available, and it was free, right after I was diagnosed. The one at my clinic wasn't offered until several months later, and I was a bit impatient. Check with the Medicare folks, too, as the meeting with an RD might cost just the co-pay. The American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org) has some marvelous information. Perhaps someone could print out things for her or the companion to read. As far as white bread vs wheat bread, white rice vs brown rice, the glycemic index and the carb counts are exactly the same. However, the body will process the white stuff a lot faster than it will the brown stuff. The RD that taught the two classes I took, both said the same thing. Keep both types to a small amount, "everything in moderation". That said....I'm with those that say, "hey if you got to 94 without being diagnosed, keep up whatever it is you're doing!" Donna T2D

I eat non-soy fake meat and dairy. Some of the fake meats are being made with better ingredients than even a few years ago but they still all have some carbs. I try to limit tofu. I did keto for a month but stopped when I realized how unbalanced my diet was. I was existing on cheese and fake sausage and just didn't feel good at all. I get sick of eggs easily, unfortunately. I would have killed for some fruit. I was very strict. The good news is I tend to get into ketosis very easily (like 12 hours) and it's always the darkest purple so I have hopes I can increase my carbs a bit. I need a more balanced approach where if I'm craving fruit, I can have a little bit sometimes. The problem is when I do fall off the keto wagon, I go crazy and binge on all the carbs.

Maifleur, that is what I think as well. Although the author says her loaf pans are only 4x8, that is pretty small.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out. To me it seems it will be dense and heavy.

The flax and xanthan gum should arrive tomorrow, if they do I will bake Tuesday.

If it is a disaster, it won't be my first or my last. I am going to substitute Splenda for Swerve.

These are good to use for sandwiches or burgers. Just make sure that what you put between them isn't too wet or they start to dissolve. For instance, if I use them as hamburger buns, I make sure the burger patty is dry or put lettuce leaves next to the buns to protect them from wet condiments. I sometimes jazz them up by adding dried ground chili peppers, cumin, garlic, dill, whatever sounds good at the time.

Let us know now your bread turns out, Lucille. I love to hear about adventures in cooking and baking!

i have never tried to make lo-carb bread, but i would not substitute Splenda for Swerve. splenda is fake sugar. you can use Swerve, Truvia or Pyure or Stevia. these are a lot more healthier.

there are conversions charts for these sweeteners...

I do see your point but I do use Splenda as my sweetener of choice anyway.

Dawn those rolls look good for hamburgers. I might experiment seeing what they would be like with a little coconut flour since I bought a lot of it, to see if that might increase their sturdiness to handling as my burgers are always juicy with tomatoes and sauce and so on.

Lucille are you used to eating high fiber? Otherwise flax can cause bloating and intestinal distress.

I think that it is messing several cups of sifted flour, but then, it wouldn't be low carb.

I got the flax seed yesterday. Opened it and the seeds were sticking to the side of the bag and look like they might be webby. Did not want to use them. Amazon refunded my $ but I am losing some momentum here.

I ordered some wheat flour and am going back to making regular bread. I have a bunch of coconut flour which so far has not been made into anything, but I do plan on further experiments
