So we bought a brand new breadmaker off eBay for a tenner (bargain!) specifically to try and make cheap low carb bread. This is the recipe we used
7/8 cup tepid water
1 egg
1t salt
1T oil (or melted butter for a breakfast loaf)
1t sugar (the carbs from this are used in the cooking process)
2T whole cream milk powder (not skim) OR 2T plain unsweetened whey protein powder
1/4 cup oat bran
1/3 cup ground LSA (my own preference) or ground golden or plain flaxseed
1/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup gluten flour
2t breadmaker yeast
1/2t caraway seeds (or 1/2t cinnamon and the grated zest of an orange or lemon for a breakfast loaf)
A bit of an outlay to start with to get the ingredients but using the ingredients and suppliers I posted about here

then each loaf is working out at around 45p. Carb wise it is 5g / 100g so one doorstop slice is around 2.5g or carbs. If you like a nice strongly flavoured brown bread that has the consistency of real bread then this is ideal. Just tried a first slice with lashings of butter. mmmmm
LSA is 50% golden flax seed 33% sunflower seeds and 17% almonds so to make 100g of LSA its 50g of flax seed, 33g of sunflower seeds and 17g of almonds (we used flaked almonds)
It's going to go down a treat with Libby's (wiflibs) homemade Chicken and Leek soup which is the soup of the gods as far as I'm concerned. One of the finest soups I've ever tasted. Bacon sarnies will hopefully now make a comeback as will cheese on toast.
