Substitute for bread

[Squeekyboy]

@Squeekyboy as far as I know you can't buy it. Just throw all the ingredients in a food processor, mix, flatten on parchment paper, bake, and eat. There are recipes all over the internet.

@chalup , Hey thanks, I found the pizza bread recipe!

I think people make it their self

@Pinkorchid , hi Thanks.

 

[Squeekyboy]

fathead pizza
6oz of grated edam or mozzarella - mild cheese
3 oz of almond flour
2 tbsp cream cheese
mix together in a warm bowl
Add an egg and any flavouring you like.
Roll out quite thin between two layers of parchment paper
place on a baking tray and remove the top layer of paper, then make holes all over as for shortbread
bake for 12-15 minutes at 220 degrees C until lightly browned and as crisp as you like.
Turn the disc over, if soft, replace in the oven for a couple of minutes.
Add toppings if for a pizza - all meats should be cooked already, place in oven for 5 minutes to heat up/melt cheese

@Resurgam, many thanks to you, I'm gonna try some tomorrow!

Its really good.. the egg is kind of optional and I think you get a slightly crisper base without it.

yes, crisper but I think more brittle.

You can buy low carb high protein bread in most supermarkets now. Morrisons do a high protein high fiber bread for 8 carbs a slice.I ate a slice around 5 weeks ago, but not eaten bread since. It is still in the freezer, but I am going to have a slice a couple of times a week, and being frozen it can go straight into the toaster.

Picked up a Hovis Lower Carb wholemeal small loaf from Tescos 80p, says new on the packet, 9.8g per slice, had a slice toasted with poached eggs this morning, tasted ok.

I have small slices of whole wheat bread with one of me meals. All meals are quite small. I rarely eat pasta or rice.

If the Warburton's ones are typical then at 29g per wrap they are not exactly low carb.

I go for gluten free seeded wraps, you can spread it with yogurt, hummus (home made is best, no nasties) a sprinkle of chilli flakes (boosts your metabolism) and shove salad and feta (or other cheese) in it. I love bread but .........

Not Warburtons, BFree (BFree Foods from Dublin, found in Sainsbury's Free From shelves) wheat and gluten free, 15.1g per wrap. Never Warburtons, or any big company processed foods!

They are still 40% carbs. Why do you think smaller companies do less processing? Making breads without gluten is a much more complicated process which is one of the reasons why it costs 3 times as much. The ingredients for the BFree wraps are: Water, Mixed Wholegrain Flours (20%) (Sorghum Flour, Rice Flour, Corn Flour, Buckwheat Flour, Millet Flour, Teff Flour, Quinoa Flour, Amaranth Flour), Potato Flour, Corn Starch, Tapioca Starch, Sourdough (fermented Quinoa, Corn and Rice Flour), Thickening Agent (Cellulose, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum), Psyllium Husk, Pea Protein, Yeast, Salt, Inulin, Rapeseed Oil, Flour Treatment Agent (Ascorbic Acid), Raising Agent (Sodium Bicarbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Acids (Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid), Preservative (Sorbic Acid) - all that needs processing.

I appreciate all that, and the energy in your argument, but to me, one wrap every other day is a heck of a lot better than a couple of slices of bread every lunchtime. And my blood sugars are great. You have to find what works for you, and you have to do this yourself. I feel that my diet works for me. End of conversation thank you.

I would never touch that stuff. Yuk. Piece of lettuce please?? A spoon? Fork?

Recently we have been having a little cheese appetizer before dinner.
Brie, and some jalapeño jack. All toppled with butter and onion and melted. We have another cheese called justo, it's a fried bread cheese. That one gets butter and ontoasted pecan. We look forward everynignt. The butter while melting makes the cheese creamier and melt better.

Back to the op. Lettuce wraps. Or pick up the meat and cheese with your fingers. Forks and spoons work too.

Where do you get that jelapeno jack cheese from? I can't find anywhere

I'm in the US. We have spicy cheese everywhere. You could always make your own spice. Inabe a shaker that I put red pepper flakes, Cajun seasoning, powdered jalapeño and salt in. It can be shaken on anything.

I used to love fajitas but now I just have the filling! Onions, chicken, peppers, mushrooms. So much better for me and I don't even miss the tortillas

Ah - but bread doesn't love you back.
If you have a meter you can try a Lidl protein roll - eat it slowly or it could give you indigestion, people are so used to gulping down their food without chewing.
Everything made with wheat can cause a potential spike in your blood glucose, but people do vary. and time of day when eating and what it is eaten with all affect the impact of the carbs.

I love pure rye bread but it is high in carbs.

I love bread but now being T2 I need to cut it out, what do others eat instead? Would crackers like rivetta be okay?

No, they are high in Carbs. Make your own simple delicious seed crackers with sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Here is the recipe,below, they can be stored for up to 1 month air tight container. Put any topping LOW CARB of course, ON top, NIBBLE on if hungry, or great with scrambled eggs for example.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup natural unsalted sunflower seeds
half cup toasted seasame seeds
handful of pumpkin seeds
2 garlics chopped finely
half cup parmesan cheese
herbs of choice optional
water

METHOD
Place all seeds into a blender BLAST until it looks like flour
Tip flour mix into a large bowl
Add finely chopped garlic
cheese
Mix well with hand
Drizzle water into the mix bind it well, until it is WET AND STICKY.

Place on a greaseproof oven sheet
Place another greaseproof sheet on top
Roll out until very thin! ensure you dont have holes, but as thin as you can
Score the rolled out mix into square shapes
Sprinkle with seasame press gently into the mix
Place into pre heated oven Fan Forced 160 degrees for 15 mins.
Keep eye on crackers as they can start to get too brown on edges.

Crackers should be light golden brown.

Happy cooking in the kitchen, you will never miss bread again,even your friends will be impressed and they will all start making them bread lovers or not, I miss my Mallorcan style breads, with good cheese and glass of red, but cheddar or goates cheese on top of your Seed Crackers are just as fantastico!

Enjoy......
