Something that doesn't suck...

Rei1988

Hi. Does any have a recipe for a low carb bread or biscuits that don't suck? All the recipes I've tried so far either come out pretty eggy & pancake like. Has anyone found one that actually works well? or is it a lost cause?

It's a lost cause. I have learned to live without bread.

Actually, I have a few that work pretty well for me.
(Edited to add that I hate the flavor of egg, so the eggy tasting breads do NOT work for me at all).

One is a low carb bagel, one is a low carb quick biscuit (done in 2 minutes in the microwave), and the last one is a baked bread.
Its not quite the same as regular bread, but it works for me!

Plain Bagel (makes 6 bagels)

•1 cup almond flour
•1/2 cup flax seed meal
•1/4 cup protein powder
•2 Tbsp coconut flour
•2 teaspoon baking powder
•2 eggs
•2 Tbsp plain 0% Greek yogurt
•2 Tbsp olive oil
•3 Tbsp water
•2-3 packets Splenda
•1/2 teaspoon salt
If you want toppings use: Poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion or garlic flakes, etc. Sprinkle them on top before baking.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
3. Thoroughly mix all the wet ingredients together, then mix into the dry ingredients.
4. Mix well.
5. Use a donut pan to make 6 bagels or roll out the dough (it will be somewhat sticky) and punch a hole in the middle to create a
bagel shape.
6. Put each bagel on a lightly sprayed baking pan.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.
8. Cool completely and store refrigerated.



Low Carb Buttermilk Biscuit (makes 1 biscuit)

•2 Tbsp coconut flour
•1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•Pinch salt
•1 packet Splenda
•1 Tbsp psyllium husk powder (optional)
•1/2 teaspoon onion powder (leave out if you want to use for sandwiches)
•1 egg white
•1 Tbsp water
•1 Tbsp powdered buttermilk/milk
•2 Tbsp milk

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.
2. Spray a 3 inch round microwaveable container with non stick spray (I use a small pyrex). Pour mix into 3 inch container.
3. Microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds or until biscuit has pulled away from the sides of the dish.
4. Let cool on a wire rack. If the biscuit is still too wet for your liking microwave longer in 15 second increments.
5. Slice in half and use for a breakfast sandwich or eat whole.



Low Carb White Bread (makes 16 thin slices, approx. 3 net carbs per slice)
•2 tsp yeast
•1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•1/2 cup + 1/8 cup vital wheat gluten
•3/4 cup EACH of oat flour and almond flour
•4 1/2 Tbsp coconut flour)
•1/8 cup EACH of flaxmeal, ground chia seed, psyllium husk powder
•2 tsp salt
•3-4 packet Splenda
•3 1/2 Tbsp butter
•4 eggs
•1 cup water or almond milk

1. Mix ingredients by hand, pour into an 8x4 bread pan, then bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

NOTES:
You can substitute ground flax meal for the almonds to decrease the calories.
You can add garlic powder and Italian spices for a savory bread.

I could not tell where you live, but if you are near a Trader Joe's they have a bread that is pretty good that is only 5 effective carbs per slice. It is the only bread I can still eat and not a get a big bounce off of. I also think if you go to Netrition, they have lots of low carb mixes to make your own. You can also try Low Carb Friends website. Tons of LC recipes...

Good luck.

Tried the biscuit today -- forgot to add psyllium, so higher carb count, but it sure was fluffy! Also used the whole egg, so higher fat. Yum. Thanks for the recipes.
