The last time there was a HP Rolls scare I decided to make my own and @AvocadoSevenfold gave me the recipe below. I make rolls by hand rather than a loaf in a breadmaker. I prefer my rolls to the Lidl ones and I must have made about 20 batches by now. I have tweaked the recipe but the one I have attached is the original.Er. Well. It came out sort of bread shaped.
Actually, appearance and flavour both good and very similar to Lidl HP BUT it is a pretty solid lump, and also had a slightly ??slimy texture - not unpleasant, just a bit odd. But it is quite edible (for a given definition of...). Did I mention that total net carbs came to 73gc? (sorry - the net carbs in the total recipe!) Will get at least 8 slices so 4.5gc per half slice. And it toasts well.
Next trial - much more water, and I think I might soak the chia seeds and the linseed for five minutes or so in half the water. Ten grams less chia, ten grams more oat bran to reduce the slipperiness. And grind the sunflower seeds & linseeds a bit more thoroughly.
Other possibilities - add in some baking powder to help aeration. Find a cheaper substitute for the soy protein, anyone know if whey protein would work as well? FYI total cost of the the loaf was about £3.50 which is too much IMHO.
I have now found a version of the same recipe with a little more information and I have added a conversion from cups to grams in case that helps.
I leave out the bran and the Splenda. I use normal porridge oats instead of oat flour. I have increased the water to about 320ml. I add mixed seeds sometimes. You don't have to knead the dough much, just enough so that it is combined. I divide the dough into 8 rolls and put them on a baking tray in a warm place for about an hour to rise, then without touching them bake at 190C for 20mins.Great, thank you. Care to share your tweaks?

I have just spoke to lidl customer services. They have been getting lots of calls from diabetics about them being discontinued. The agent thought that more feedback might help their retun to stores.

I had a look at the Gabi recipe a while back but got put off by the Splenda. Thanks for putting it up, I will have another look and try again, with "personalisation" aka tweaks. I really want to get a bread machine recipe going as it seems so much more convenient than making your actual bake-in-the-oven loaf, even if it does deprive the spiders of a home.I leave out the bran and the Splenda.

I take it you noticed that I don't add the Splenda, it's bread not cake. I make rolls as I freeze them and thaw one a day for my lunch.I had a look at the Gabi recipe a while back but got put off by the Splenda.
