Unfortunately, I love my bread although I know I can't have too much and I usually make my own in my breadmaker. However, when I was in Asda last week I saw a pack of these bagels which I bought and they are very tasty and are ready sliced so it is possible to have a half slice! Incidentally, when I bake my own bread I use wholemeal flour mixed with a nutty flour. Does anyone know of a low carb flour that I can buy?

23.5 per bagel which is half of what it in the regular white bagels my wife has.

I really want to try baking my own bread. I want to try & make a soya & linseed loaf, similar to Burgen. Soya flour is low carb but I think you will need some kind of normal flour in there as well to make it more like bread. I must experiment.🙂

You’d be hard pressed to imitate Burgen, because they use cheats to make it more like bread. E471 and E472e are emusilfiers, and help with the gluten structure of the bread to make it nice and chewy. Vegetarians and vegans should beware, because they could be of animal origin, though much of it is derived from soya (including GM soya). They don’t tell you which. They also make it more bread like with the inclusion of wheat protein, basically more gluten.
The main ingredient by weight in a Burgen soya and linseed loaf is wheat flour. Next comes linseed, then soya flour. So you will definitely need a lot more wheat flour than soya if you don’t add the ‘industrial’ additives. They’re just there to make the baking process quicker, particularly in the proving stage. But do add the Vitamin C that they do - about a teaspoon in the dough mix. I often do that for normal bread, it just improves the dough.
