Right I see the problem I think.

My basic setting is just over 3 hrs so sounds right but the yeast might be the problem. Lots say ok for bread makers including the website we use but the packs from the supermarket work best for me in the silver little bags boxes of 8. I tried other yeasts and they all flopped remember although it says ok for beadmakers this is not normal bread.

I mix vital wheat gluten/oat fibre/flaxseed all together I just zero the scales each time I add, do you measure temp of water on a day like today with room temp eggs you want a water temp of 25c. You will get there but I can tell you the yeast other than the packs I buy just don't rise much. Also the X gum must be 1/2 teaspoon it is very powerful stuff you can't guess it or thereabouts it must be spot on it's important for the texture, you should have got a plastic measure with the bread maker 1/2 tsp one end and 1tsp on the other use that.

PS That is the best oat fibre you have

ok thanks for you help @Maca44
I will look at getting a different yeast then
glad I got the right oatfibre

I didn’t measure the temp of the water just made it kind of “hot to the finger“ maybe that’s my problem will have to find a thermometer before I try again

Sounds like the water was too hot and killed the yeast sorry your disappointed it's quiet an investment isn't it but I would just stick to basic recipe for now get that yeast and drop water temp a 3hr basic setting is good so you will get there I am abit obsessional with measurements and temps etc but due to the type of bread we are making the slightest error will fill the bin very quickly believe me I know.
 
Low carb bread doesn't rise as much, the basic and wholewheat knock it back, sometimes too hard.
You could try the the sandwich setting, which doesn't as much. Or the dough setting, and the separate bake setting, one after the other.
 
You could perhaps try a standard bread from something like a Wrights oat and linseed bread mix to get a feel for how your breadmaker behaves. They are pretty foolproof and a thin slice is not too many carbs.

My Keto bread does rise almost to the top of the beadmaker lid, it's just a normal loaf the only difference is I can eat this one.

That's interesting, mine consistently do better with a normal loaf mix.
Maybe it's something I'm doing, or a different breadmaker problem, but they're mostly much the same now.
 
Hi, so sorry you are having problems making the low carb bread after going to the expense of purchasing the Morphy Richards breadmaker. I purchased the breadmaker a few weeks ago and followed the instructions on You Tube, and it worked every time, rising almost to the top of the bread machine. I use Allinson's Easy Bake yeast purchased from any superstore. I think Maca has a point when he says that you are possibly using too hot water in the recipe. It needs to be lukewarm.

I, too, am intrigued by the Rye Walnut Bread. If you have any success with it please let us know.

Don't give up on making the low carb bread, the recipe really does work. Best of luck in your endeavours.
 
Thanks @AngelSprings for that tip, I’m glad to hear you successfuly baked some.
I’ve had some great advice from a few people on here, and great help initially from
@Maca44 (the keto bread guru)

I think the water was to hot, I didn’t check it properly,
just kind of cool enough to dip my finger in.

I have a thermometer somewhere I’m sure, if not I will get one and try again.
I really need this to work, because since I started eating bread again
my levels haven’t been quite as good as they were when I had completely cut bread out.

This has been a game changer for me because I loved my bread so started off buying loafs online but although nice it works out very expensive. I'm baking 3 loafs today as it happens to get me throughLoaf.jpg the week.

WoW that looks like proper bread @Maca44
Hope mine works this time

hopeful I’ve still got all the required ingredients having messed around with the unsuccessful loaves previously ..lol they were all totally un-edalbe and went in the bin,
 
You will get there just keep trying your temperature was the problem I'm now down to 26c water when it's warm weather.
