Soul Bread is worth the trouble

I stopped attempting to make low carb bread because of the grittiness of the finished product. Almond and Coconut flours just ruin the texture and make it too unlike wheat bread to be a satisfactory alternative. I saw several discussions about "soul bread" and decided to try it. It was great. The only change I would make is to add more salt.

The bread has a terrific texture, smooth and moist. The calorie count is a little high but there are only 1 g carbs per slice. It is even better toasted. It uses protein isolate and cream cheese as main ingredients.

Give it a try:

    Thanks! I've been meaning to give it a try. It's on my very long Pinterest Board list of LCHF tasties to make.

    i think i might go buy ingredients and try that. i have had very little success so far in making things that are "low-carb" - two things i've made that cost me ALOT $$$ in ingredients ended up in the trash because they were so awful!

    I'm going to try it. I would love to have something resembling bread to spread a little peanut butter on.

    Can't wait till I have an oven! Currently I have a Nu-Wave infrared oven and this produced some... Bizarre results. What kind of protein powder did you use?

    Well I read this, looked up the recipe and was inspired. So today on Amazon, I ordered the whey protein recommended, as well as the Xanthan gum. Should be here on Wednesday, so I'll be testing it out. My hope is that it turns out well, and I can make a bacon, avocado grilled cheese sammich with it. Fingers crossed.

    IMO the bread is best when toasted. I toasted and put PB on it. It's not real bread but the texture is right and the flavor is not bad. Looking forward to a BLT.

    It is really a great bread sub. My DH takes sandwiches to work on it all the time. It holds together very well.

    A bread machine is not necessary as there is no yeast in the recipe. It would probably over mix it as well. You'll need to find something else to do with it

    I was going to say the same as NewSue - since there's no yeast it would be pretty pointless to use a bread machine... there is a "low carb" yeast bread recipe for the bread machine out there, it is not gluten or grain free though so I don't make it anymore, but it worked pretty well.
