Great blog Claire! Good find for the Atkins flour too. What is the carb content in it? Does it taste ok?
Thanks
I'll keep adding more recipes to it.
Here's the nutrition on the Atkins flour:

Like all the Atkins stuff, I think they use polyols or dietry fibre in there, because on the front of the bag it says: Only 5 net carbs per 40g, but on the nutrition it lists 11g carbs. Like everything at Atkins, there are carbs you don't count (or at least from what I gather).
I used 2 cups, so I listed it as 30g carbs for the batch, with 30g on the spelt, then I added on 10g because I like to overestimate. So overall it was 70g carbs for 10 bread rolls, estimating at 7g per roll. Without the spelt it came in at 3-4g per roll, but the spelt makes it taste like bread, so it's a personal choice on that.
The Atkins does taste okay on it's own in a lot of things, but in bread it was just lacking that bread flavour, so that's why I added the spelt. With the spelt, it's a proper bread roll. They came out really well.
I don't think they are great on nutrition or that low carb, but they're certainly low carb enough if your sandwich filling is carb free.
