*Low Carb Bread* Ingredients:
1 pkg dry yeast (Rapid Rise/Highly Active)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/8 cup warm water (90-100ーF is optimum)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Stevia
1 cup Wheat Gluten Flour (what I use)
1/4 cup oat flour
3/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup coarse unprocessed wheat bran
This *Low Carb Bread recipe* is very easy to make! Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add warm water, oil and stevia to bread machine pan. Then add mixed dry ingredients. Sprinkle yeast over the top. Set your machine to the basic cycle (3-4 hours) or rapid basic cycle and bake.
Cool on a rack before slicing.
* Slow-digesting (low-glycemic) carbs have a lower effect on insulin levels. Low Carb Bread is a great way to keep your insulin levels from jumping.
* Low-glycemic choices include rye, oat, soy and wheat gluten flour as in the recipe above.
* I remove my paddle after the initial kneading and before the
rising cycle so I don’t get a big hole in the bottom of the loaf.
* “I’ve had best results using +low carb+ Bobs low carb baking mix
.
* Look for bout 6 grams (no fiber) per 1/4 cup on label and approx. 75% – 80% protein. It works great, keeps the taste and _texture just like bakery bread_, and keeps the carb count very low.”
