Bread question

Any palatable bread will have carbs. Look for breads that also have higher fiber. Assuming you are eating low carb or keto you would be counting net carbs instead of total carbs like diabetics need to do so the more fiber, the fewer net carbs. There are some tortillas out there with only 4 grams of net carbs and they make tasty wraps and burritos.

The only low carb bread I've tried which was remotely decent would be fathead dough flat bread. You could make foccacia, garlic knots/sticks, twists, pizza, rolls. If you're going to use it for sandwiches, remember to roll it to accommodate you ideal sandwich size or roll size. Standard recipes only accommodate slider sized servings.

Any other low carb Keto bread is either too cakey or eggy . When toasted, it tastes a lot like Cinnamon French toast, without the need to add actual cinnamon.

Flaxseed bread is delicious, only if you like high fiber breads.

Ezekiel Flax Sprouted Whole Grain Bread is great for those, "I need a low carb bread sandwich" moments.🍔

Tried Udi millet chia bread 🤢 ... I did not favour it at all.

You really have to experiment with store bought and low carb breads you bake at home to determine what agrees with your taste buds.

There are some keto breads you can make. They tend to be high in fat and calories and may or may not actually be considered bread. Store bought items in this area are very expensive. In my view the amount of energy you are getting for the high price is unjustified. It is much cheaper to just control portion sizes.

This looks interesting...

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
6 Large eggs Separated
4 tbsp Butter melted
3 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar It's ok if you don't have this
1 pinch Pink Salt
6 drops Liquid Stevia optional

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat until soft peaks are achieved.
In a food processor combine the egg yolks, 1/3 of the beaten egg whites, melted butter, almond flour, baking powder and salt (Adding ~6 drops of liquid stevia to the batter can help reduce the mild egg taste). Mix until combined. This will be a lumpy thick dough until the whites are added.
Add the remaining 2/3 of the egg whites and gently process until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix as this is what gives the bread it's volume!
Pour mixture into a buttered 8x4 loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure the bread is cooked through. Enjoy! 1 loaf makes 20 slices.

I've tried a few recipes for bread alternatives and honestly, none of them taste great to me. They never satisfy the craving.

When I'm craving some bread I just have regular bread--just a very small portion that fits into my overall goals. I opt for wheat or whole grain over white. Because I have to be concerned about blood sugar I might also do something active, like take a brisk walk, after eating bread or pasta to help control any blood sugar spikes.

If you have Pinterest you can find some great low-carb/keto recipes. I've tried some things that have been disasters (like low-carb cookies that looked terrible and tasted even worse) and some things that I've liked (like fat head crackers, egg roll in a bowl, and fried cauliflower rice).

But what others are saying is true--low-carb alternatives never (to me, anyhow) taste exactly like what you are replacing. You will flavor and texture differences in most of these switches. You have to find what you like. I could never just eat "plain" cauliflower rice. Ick. But--it really crushes my craving for rice when I make it into cauliflower fried rice and pair it with shrimp or chicken.

Experiment and get creative or low-carb isn't sustainable, and if you are low-carbing for medical reason then you need it to be a sustainable life change.

When I want bread, I go for the low-calorie stuff, which I guess would be lower in carbs than regular bread too. I like the Aunt Millie's brand of bread. I eat bread for psychological satisfaction and get the satiety from the vegetables or whatever else I eat with it, so an airy low-calorie bread works for me.

Where do you live? I absolutely love the old tiyme Schmidt 647 bread. It’s not available everywhere though. I buy it at Costco, $5.69 for two loaves. My second choice for bread is Sara Lee delightful wheat bread.
