I got the old bread machine out the other week to make this bread. I had forgotten about it over the years since low carbing in the early 2000's.
I have a 2lb loaf machine so I just double the recipe to make a very substantial loaf.
As this has no preservatives in it it will not keep very well so once cooled I slice and freeze it - also a good thing as this bread has a lovely taste and I would be nibbling it all the time!
Type 1 info - this is an American recipe and fibre has always been a contentious issue! Flax has little or no soluble fibre (goes in the top and out the bottom so to speak😱) so is often counted as a free food for low carbing. As I don't have a clue on insulin I will take no responsibility for the carbs quoted!
Tested it and it has little or no impact on my readings.
Best Low Carb Bread (Bread Machine)
I found this recipe on the Low Carb Friends forum some time ago. I've baked this bread many times, and it's very good! The whole loaf only contains about 20 (? questionable) carbs, so when you slice it, divide the total carbs by the number of slices. (I usually get about 10 slices, which only amounts to 2 carbs per slice!) If the lid of your bread machine lifts slightly during the last 15 minutes of baking time, don't worry; when the bread is baked, the lid will lower.
INGREDIENTS
SERVINGS 11 YIELD 1 loaf
· 1⁄2 cup water
· 1 egg
· 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
· 1 tsp Splenda sugar substitute (I use sugar to feed the yeast)
· 1⁄3 cup ground flax seeds
· 1⁄4 cup soy flour
· 3⁄4 cup vital wheat gluten flour
· 1 teaspoon dried yeast
· 1 tsp salt (when doubling this recipe I still only use 1 tsp of salt)
DIRECTIONS
Using a 1-pound capacity bread machine, combine ingredients according to order given in bread machine manual.
Select 'light' browning setting.
Don't remove bread until it is cooled.
Cut into slices, and store, covered, in the refrigerator.
