Type 2 Flour

[fati2]

Has any body tried making bread out of barley flour? I made chappatis , just had a couple will check bs and see if it's better than wheat chappati.

Not sure about barley.. how many carbs does it have..? You could try almond flour? or coconut?

no quite chappati but keto naan?

I've never heard of barley flower, How did it effect you?

Alison I had two chappati 's, blood sugar before meal was 6.4 and two after was 9.7. I should have eaten 1 chappati only . But lower than when I eat wheat chappatis . Will try 1 tmrw and check BS . But have read dr Axe review regarding barely flour good for diabetic.

Perhaps you could replace some of the barley flour with something lower in carbs such as almond or coconut flour.

Yes, I have baked with barley flour.
It was delicious, both mixed with other flours and on its own.
The loaves were nicely textured, pleasantly flavoured, and no one knew that it was barley unless I told them. They just thought it was wholemeal wheat.

Having said that, it was back in the days before I got a meter and knew what grains (any grains) did to my blood glucose levels. Since then I have given up barley bread as well as the other options, since it was sending my blood glucose much too high.
