Low carb flax bread.

[Pink_Minx]

I would like the recipe please

It's on page 1 of the thread - let us know how you get on - maybe we should have our own bake-off!

 

[Sutherlandlass]

Brilliant, thank you I really miss bread!

Made my loaf tonight, it's cooling under a teatowel, hopefully won't dry out too quickly?! Looking forward to having some with breakfast in the morning
It didn't rise a lot, I omitted the herbs, added a little extra water.. too hot to have a slice just now, to see the texture, but it smells lovely and looks more like a loaf than other bread recipes that I have tried will let you know what it's like after breakfast...

 

[RobPL]

Looking forward to seeing what you think.

 

[Sutherlandlass]

Turned out really well, tastes great, looks a bit dense but it's lovely and light! Happy happy happy, thanks for sharing ☺

 

[Pink_Minx]

That looks amazing - well done! What size tin did you use? It looks more "loafy" than mine!

I made some flax bread and even the birds wouldnt eat it

 

[RobPL]

It looks a lot higher than mine hehe.

I used a 20x10.5cm silicone loaf mold. As I have got further into the loaf, I can see it's not completely cooked in the middle, so I reckon another 5-10 mins, checking at 5 min intervals, should do it. I cooked this one in my fan oven at 170 degrees for 30 mins.

Hi, did you make that in a 1lb or 2lb bread tin? It looks fabulous

 

[Sutherlandlass]

@TooManyCrisps I think it's a 1lb silicone pan

Thanks RobPL ,made your bread yesterday and had 2 slices for breakfast ,delicious .Had 1 toasted and smelt a bit eggy ,so with a slice of bacon ...... Yumm.
I bought the milled flaxseed at Holland and Barnett ,buy 1 get 1at 1/2 price so will be cooking again soon

Thanks@sutherlandlass. I think I've got an (ancient, rusty) 1lb tin somewhere. If the bread works well and doesn't spike me then I might invest in a decent silicon 1lb pan! Or double the quantities and use a 2lb tin....

I just made this. It's not bad and less than 10 carbs for the whole loaf.
It's not very high so I'm going to try it next with a smaller but taller tin.
Would anyone like the recipe?

Thanks for recipe my lovely wife made this one for me but she added a cupfull of omega3 seed mix to it very nice with a slice of cornbeef

Recipe.
Most of the carbs were from the flax. Mine was 4g per 100g. If you use lower you can get this at 5-6g for the whole loaf.
I merged about 3 different recipes that I found.

2 cups flax.
1 tbsp baking powder.
1 tsp salt.
1 tbsp truvia sweetener.
1 tbsp Italian herbs (can use more or leave it out).
5-6 eggs (I used 6 medium).
1/2 cup water.

Mix all dry ingredients together.
Blend up the eggs.
Add the water and eggs to dry mix and stir well together.
Leave for 3 mins at least to thicken.
Pour into your greased / lined etc tin. I used a rectangular silicone mould and didn't use any grease.
Bake at 180 for 30 mins.

Could you roll the dough into some seeds... like pumpkin seeds, sunflower, etc before putting it into the loaf tin? And if you did how would that change the carbs content?

Its not exactly a dough mixture just add the seeds to the mixture or just springle on top once you place mixture into loaf tin

Thanks. I wondered if it might be like that.

Has anyone found eating this bread makes them run to the toilet more frequently?

I made two loaves yesterday and needed to use the toilet (urine) around 05:15 and 07:30. Thoughts?
