Low Carb Bread

As above try the sugarfreeondoner website or the lowcarbfreshwell site, both have lots of recipes including low carb/keto bread. Cheers
 
I use make bread with.

Is Canderel a good substitute for sugar?


Deliciously sweet, deliciously fat and sugar free. As Sucralose is safe for diabetics,

Just follow a normal bread recipe and substitute Canderel for the sugar.

granary bread is low in carbs takes longer for your body to processor sugar unlike white bread.

You will find there are several versions of Canderel with different artificial sweetener combinations but if you are adding it as a carbon source for yeast fermentation then it probably won't work well as the yeasts do not have the right enzymes.
Canderel website has good information about the suitability of their range of products for baking etc.

Granary flour has almost but not quite as many carbs as white flour. They are both high in carbs though.

Granary has about 65g carbs per 100g
White flour has about 70g carbs per 100g.

Yes, the granary may release slightly slower but it may still produce too much of a rise in BG for many people trying to help manage their diabetes through diet.
 
White bread processed in your body really fast as granary bread is more slower just like Basmati rice.


That the one and it does work still activates the yeast. I used it in my bread maker to make my own bread.
 
I’m slightly confused about the sugar? When I’ve made bread there was only a teaspoon’s worth (5g carbs) to start the yeast going. I’m not sure I would worry about that in the context of a whole loaf. The amount in each slice would be tiny.

Glad you’ve managed to make bread that suits you though @Totalwar

Most dried yeasts have sorbitol which is one of the sugar substitutes like erythritol, xylitol and can be used by the yeast to activate so probably no need to actually add additional sugar.
