Keto / low carb
This is an easy and very tasty bread recipe without hard-to-find ingredients.
It's a low-carb bread, which has the texture and taste of a village rustic bread.
It has only 1.5 g of carbs in each slice and it's a great accompaniment for lunch or for breakfast.
It's texture is quite compact, with the appropriate moisture like a conventional bread, and it's so tasty!
Always keep in mind:
Low carb breads are high in fiber.
For each slice of bread you should drink at least a glass of water.
Keto Flaxseed Bread
Servings: 18
• Ingredients:
85 g / Golden flaxseed flour* (reduced fat) 15 g / Baking powder 1 tsp / Salt 5 g / Guar gum* 15 g / Psyllium Hask* 7 / Large eggs ( about 390 g) 80 ml / Olive Oil * 100 ml / Almond milk* 2 tbsp / Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp / Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
1 Preheat the oven at 180°C (fan assisted).
2 Prepare a small, elongated baking form (11x20 cm).
3 Mix all the dry ingredients.
4 Beat all the other ingredients with a hand mixer for about 3 minutes and then add the mixture of dry ingredients.
5 Continue beating for a while to incorporate (but not too much).
6 Let the dough rest for 10 minutes and then place in the baking form.
7 Optionally sprinkle the dough with sesame seeds.
8 Bake for about 30 minutes at 180°C
and thereafter low the temperature at 170°C and continue baking for another 40 minutes.
9 After baking let the bread for 5 more minutes in the form.
10 Then put the bread out of the form and place on a baking rack. It has to be completely cool before sliced.
Store in the fridge for about 3-4 days or in the freezer for much longer.
* Notes:
• I use reduced fat flaxseed flour for this recipe but this bread can also be made with 120g golden (or brown) fine grated flaxseeds.
• Psyllium husk and guar gum are good for the texture of the bread but you can also skip those.
• Almond milk can be replaced with heavy cream (diluted 50/50) with water, or with coconut milk or just water.
• Olive oil can be replaced with coconut oil (preferably unflavoured) or with 90g of melted butter.
I have not tried all the alternatives.
As you understand it is very difficult to try each version.
But, from what I know so far about these ingredients, I think there will be just fine.
• Serve and enjoy!
