Low Carb Bread?

7 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.

LOL Kathy, I well remember those aluminum trays that the dinners came in. My mother did the same thing!! Actually I can remember doing it myself a few times. Since I'm not going by points I don't know the point conten in the soy based cheese flavored food. I'm at work so I can't read the wrappers. I will try to look tonight and give you all the low down tomorrow on this. I add the shredded mozzarella flavored cheese to my salads and it makes it so much better. There are some soy based American Cheese flavored slices that I can really sit down and eat the whole pack of them! I've bought some of the cheddar but haven't tried it yet. I will try it tonight and let you know. This stuff melts like cheese also. I have started to think that soy is wonderful and I used to think it was terrible. I really appreciate the information on Marie Callendar's stuff. I have only tried one of them and it was not good but maybe I'll give another one a try. DH has a sandwich for lunch every day so I hate to feed him a frozen dinner at night. He is such a wonderful DH and before him I had the worst so I know how to appreciate him!

Anyone here on Atkins or low carb diet???

Janet - hop aboard! Welcome! There is a post just below on Fat Flush - same idea as Atkins from what I see. I post on Diet Pals - we do EVERYTHING, anything, our own thing and basically just keep each other going. I have a friend who has been doing Atkins and has lost a lot of weight. Saw a very good health show of someone who has a lifetime of yo yo dieting and found Atkins suits her and her weight is now staying off - she loves meats, has learned to use the right types of fat (which you need) and still keeps her carbs at bay. My success has been with a more balanced diet - weight watchers. Whatever you decide to follow, feel free to make new friends, join any thread you like and ask questions. You could even start a new thread on whatever diet you choose. We love new faces around here and have lots of encouragement. I use this forum as a journal, every day to reinforce my commitment to myself, write about the bad days too - moods, foods and all - I dust myself off and try again. Whatever you decide to follow, please post no matter what. Hi ya, from Scotland! (I'm waving and yelling - youuu hooooo!) McPeg

Low carbers....

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.

What is your favorite low carb snack that isn't cold?
Q
Comments (28)
Thank you to everyone for responding. In my head I think I'm a food trailblazer - I love different cuisines, I rarely eat processed food, I try to eat plant-based. What is also true is that I am a picky eater. Sugar substitutes taste like chemicals to me, I dislike the texture of most reheated food, if I eat just a little too much cheese my stomach revolts. Crunch is extremely satisfying to me which is why I really miss my cold vegetables from the fridge. None of this is important really, it just helps to put the thoughts down in words. I will try to expand my snack horizons - broths, canned fish, crunchy chips made from cheese or vegetables, maybe a simple bean and balsamic salad that I can eat at room temperature. Thank-you!

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
