K-eto Life Bread

[xfieldok]

I have been in bed the last 3 days. Awful stomach ache, bloated, wanted tone sick but couldn't.
Hubby had a flare up of IBS. The only thing we have in common are these rolls. And I have 20 in the freezer

Total rip off at those prices.

I make my own. Very easy to do by hand. It's sort of like wholemeal brioche in texture and very good. Excellent sandwiches. 28g carbs per loaf.

What recipe do you use and have you also made rolls?

just took delivery of 8 myself, the greatest bacon roll in history will be made in a few hours.

Looking at the size of them I doubt I'll be able to finish a full one

My rolls are on the way

Hope you are all feeling better now....funnily enough I find I'm a bit constipated since I started eating the bread....could be it the cause as you seem to have issues too?...sorry for the too much information part. I have ordered just 4 rolls to try them....hope they don't give me any problems....

Not sure if anyone has tried this bread....available on Amazon...The Seriously Low Carb Loaf ...fast delivery and very tasty bread. 33 calories a slice and only 0.9g of carb in each. Very filling and has all but zero effect on blood sugar. Much nicer than Livlife bread and SERIOUSLY low carb

Just got my loaves and rolls!! Thanks for the tip! I made hot buttered toast for the first time since my diagnosis last Nov. HEAVEN!

Crispy bacon and avocado for me....yummmmmm to heaven and back again

Great idea - I wouldn't have thought of them together - and low carb also - do you just mash up the avocado with lemon juice and add it to the bacon?

What recipe do you use and have you also made rolls?

I've always made my own bread (until diagnosis in March) and find the "dough" fairly easy to use to make any shape needed. The main difference is that you don't get a taut skin, but it holds itself together well during proving so that's not much of an issue.

The below gives a normal sized loaf, much like a wholemeal brioche, that contains 46g of carbs.


10g Psyllium Husk
70g Flaxseed Meal
190g Vital Wheat Gluten
10g Salt
1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (optional)
8g Instant Yeast
15g Erythritol (optional, you could also add a spoonful of real sugar or honey instead if you want as the yeast will use it up anyway)
Mix those dried ingredients.

Add 250ml tepid water and one egg
30g softened Butter or olive oil

Knead for a good 10 mins. Use a machine, it's very hard to hand knead.

Shape with wet hands, or put in a greased tin.
Let rise in a warm place for up to 2 hours until doubled.

Bake c. 40 mins at 200 C

(above edited to simplify following lots of practice)

Thanks for that - I will give it a try when I get some Xanthan Gum.

I'm starting to think you don't need it, as it's usually there to make up for the absence of gluten - hardly an issue with this bread!

I'm going to make some now, without, and will report back.

 

[Gezzabelle]

Great idea - I wouldn't have thought of them together - and low carb also - do you just mash up the avocado with lemon juice and add it to the bacon?

I smash the avocado and spread it on the bread instead of butte...no lemon....is delicious....I also smash and spread avocado on to a slice of bread...bit of salt and pepper then fry it avocado side down in butter....is to dieee for,,,,Bacon and avocado are made for each other ...avocado on its own sliced and fried in butter is yummy too

RATS!

Husband has just announced that he likes it much better than his own bread and I should order more. Fortunately, we had a small chest freezer delivered yesterday supposedly for the dog food.

I missed the cut off date for ocado so beef burgers will have to wait.

Mine is due for delivery tomorrow - was yours delivered on the day it was expected to arrive?

Another great idea - frying avocado - never thought of this either. My order is due to be delivered tomorrow - did your order arrive when expected?

Looking forward to your report. I was surprised about the kneading. Normal bread requires kneading to extract the gluten from the flour but it is already extracted. The rolls I make are vital wheat gluten based and I don't really knead them at all.

I hated avocado until I fried it in butter...now I am an addict lol. My bread arrived exactly when they said it would....so now you have time to decide what you are going to have on your sandwich.....hot buttered toast....crispy bacon....endless possibilities ....

Where do you buy livlife - I have tried many different shops and can't find it anywhere?
