Bread and Bread Recipes

@dunelm I've heard a lot about the lidl rolls but unfortunately we don't have a,lidl here. I couldn't get the link to work but I will try and find the thread.
I was in a M&S with a bakery this weekend, and bought a rye loaf (still warm). It was lovely, I had 1 piece of toast with mackerel pate this morning, and after 1 hour my BS level had gone from 7.4 to 8.1. After another hour it had dropped to 7.1.

I'm sorry I didn't check the price.

Ps I found it on the bag; £1.70

I make my own rolls using dough made in my breadmaker. I use Stoates mill maltstar (81% extraction brown flour with added malted wheat flakes, rye flour and malt flour) to make granary rolls. I must admit these are better than any shop bought bread I've tried. I will now be trying the rye and brown flours as well
 
Got any links for the ingredients, and how about the cooking and making instructions plse?

I buy the flour locally but it is available from health food shops. There should be local millers who make something similar. The mill's web site is http://www.stoatesflour.co.uk/.
I have a Panasonic bread maker and use the wholemeal setting and the recipe provided. It says to use 2 tablespoons of oil, I use 1 of olive oil and 1 of toasted sesame oil. I also add some seed mix (from Lidls). It takes 3 hours 15 minutes to make, then I shape it into rolls (6 from a full batch), leave to prove for 15-30 minutes then bake for 15-20 minutes.
I have used a cheap bread maker in the past but the rolls are never as good.
 
What are the carbs on this flour, do you know?
 
I found a bread at 5 carbs per slice. Is that too much?
 
I don't miss bread but when husband developed NCGS he certainly did. I've never bothered to look at the carb content of Genius bread or his Amisa crispbreads but new to Ocado (and already sold out) Newburn Bakehouse (Warburtons) has a yummy looking gluten free sourdough. No info on carbs on Ocado's website though.
 
I'm not sure of the exact carb content. The nearest I can find is for Hovis Granary, which is a brand name. This contains 17% malted wheat flakes and has a carb content of 64%. The Stoates Mill Maltstar has 81% extract brown flour with rye flour, malt flour and malted wheat flakes. I would presume that it has more sugar that the 100% wholemeal flour due to the malting process
 
Cost way too much. Have tried this yet? http://www.avidlite.co.uk/acatalog/Whole-grain-Low-Carb-Bread-Mix--453g-bag-ALB065.html#SID=33
 
Carbs?
 
Hello. I've been making the Ugg foods chia seed and nut bread mix. I find that the taste of the flax seed is not too strong. I freeze 2 slices together in a packet.

Hello and thanks. Please give details on carbs and cooking. Is this with yeast?
 
This is a bread mix. I've just had a look on the ugg foods website and it does not have yeast in.

Allergy Advice
CONTAINS NUTS. Egg substitutes may be used instead of fresh eggs for those with egg allergies.

Storage
Store mix in a cool dry place away from sunlight and odours. Baked loaf can be cooled, sealed and stored in fridge for several days. To freeze (either whole or sliced) place in sealed container for up to 3 months.

I've just copied this to show you what I mean. When I study the ingredients I think the recipes at the beginning of this thread are better and don't involve ordering a mix and then adding 6 eggs.
