I know it isn't bread, but it is very low carb and can be used for wraps which you might likeIt is a video of how to make flax seed wraps. It seems like it will be similar to a thick roti. It is vegan.
Loads of us have done all that substitution thing over the years and simply don't bother now. Some of us can't limit our intake for such things, for some it's still too much like carbs and many of us simply don't eat anything unless its from an animal.
11g per slice is still pretty high for some people. Even I need insulin for that.Burgen Soya and Linseed bread is the lowest I could find for the size. ~11g carb per slice and 7g of protein.

OP can bake their own bread with a keto recipe and freeze extra portions for another day.
It's supremely appreciated because without this so many people would be in the dark.We just pass on what we discovered and I'm very happy that I make a difference.
Livlife 3.8g per slice - I buy it occasionally from Ocado. (ETA @CondorX - you beat me to it!) But if I want "bread" I make my own versions with ground almonds, or walnut or sesame meal/flour, or sometimes paleo bread with all sorts of nuts/seeds in. I see no reason why I shouldn't bake using good low carb ingredients - nuts, eggs, butter or oil. It's just another way for me to eat these and certainly never encourages any cravings for genuine high carb versions. (And I have actually on one or two rare occasions eaten a slice of husband's lowish carb wheat base seeded bread from our local bakers without any desire to scoff the whole lot!)

Waitrose do a lovely seeded low carb bread called "Livlife". Only 3.8g carbs per slice. Highly recommended. Also Hovis do a Lower Carb bread - most supermarkets seem to have it - but it is about 9g Carb per slice, so a lot more than the Waitrose one.
I have more or less kicked the bread habit, but my prediabetic partner still enjoys a bit and the Livlife loaf does well - we keep an extra loaf in the freezer as don't get to buy Waitrose that often!!
EDIT forgot to add, Lo-Dough is quite good although not really a bread substitute as such and quite pricey - makes a great low carb pizza base though, if you like thin, crispy bases.
Skip breakfast entirely and extend your overnight fast.. coffee with cream maybe instead of stodgy food?That’s why I brought it, I’ll pop into Waitrose and get a few loafs, it’s breakfast I’m struggling with as I don’t have time to cook anything fancy, at least I can have a slice of that - thanks
My "bread" recipes are similar to @Mel dCP's and don't take very long to make and bake. I now have all the time in the world, but I've had issues with my hand so Livlife is a good backup. I think both are denser and more filling than normal breads too.

Energy comes from protein and fats.. try to keep away from carbs.. hard boiled eggs or cold meats would be better than cereal of any kind for breakfast. A whole lot of people go to the gym and lift weights fasted (and get better results).I’m having whole grain cereal at the mo, I do quite a manual job so I need to keep the energy up a bit

Try it you might be surprised .... fatty coffee will give you plenty of energy.
You might be pleasantly surprised. although tea with cream is a bit of an acquired taste.Don’t drink coffee only tea, I will give it a go though
