It's because so few really compare with real bread that I have found it really quite easy just to not to try to replace, or when I do, think "bland" or "savoury" or "soaks up stuff" or "crunches like toast"... in fact think anything else except "bread"!Like others, I haven't found any other low carb rolls or pizza bases that I really like, "rubbery" or "ginger bready" sums up all the competition I've tried.
Agree with this. I got to this point with pasta, rice, and noodles very quickly. There are no great genuine alternatives I've found so far (in my opinion, at least), in fact most are disgusting. Cauliflower rice is decent, I like it a lot, but you're not fooling anyone that it could be real rice. It's a separate product in my mind, that I use slightly differently to real rice, but I enjoy it in its own right.It's because so few really compare with real bread that I have found it really quite easy just to not to try to replace, or when I do, think "bland" or "savoury" or "soaks up stuff" or "crunches like toast"... in fact think anything else except "bread"!
Summed it up perfectly!That's what made LCF Co products great. My wife and kids couldn't distinguish the pizza base from a regular supermarket pizza. The rolls weren't perfect replacements for the real deal, but they made a really good burger.
Ketoroma seem to do pizza bases and rolls though, very good for carb stats, so I'll give them a go. They also do low carb carrot cake, so that could be my Christmas day treat sorted. Thanks for the link!
Interestingly, the low carb rolls on the Greenhalghs site say that they "worked with" the Low Carb Food Co. Looks like they had a supply deal, so it all depends on whether the LCF Co are still fulfilling these supply deal orders for other suppliers they had a relationship with.I used to buy from https://www.greenhalghs.com/low-carb-keto-range/ and interestingly the bread always came wrapped in Low Carb Food Company wrapper, so perhaps this company did the bread baking for the LCF company. I just checked the web site and they still selling the bread.
Me too and I am irrationally thrilled to see scones. My mum is in her eighties and has dementia, tea and scones is/was our secret treat when we could sneak an afternoon together. i'm tearing up thinking it might be back on the agenda.Yes indeed, just looked at the website.
Is the Greenhalghs site the same company as the Hand Crafted Real Bread Co does anyone know? They also have the pizza bases the rolls and the 400g loaf.

As with all cases where companies go under, I'd say it's a "buyer beware" situation. Might be delivered, might not, and refunds aren't always straightforward if not.
I'm very glad you posted that @lovinglife I was so excited I never even looked at the nutritional info but yes I could do a quarter or even a half with lots of butter and or cream and call it a meal. Thank youI’ve ordered a few packs of the bases and a couple of the scones though I wouldn’t consider them low carb at 12g carb per scone but they look very big and will do cut in 1/4 for an keto afternoon tea I make in the run up to Christmas
You beat me to it - I was just coming here to post that I'd found them on that site too. It seems to suggest there's probably a baking supplier, who then supply all the others. If the baker is the Low Carb Food Co, that'll be a problem, but we'll be able to tell if these other sites stop selling the products.Is the Greenhalghs site the same company as the Hand Crafted Real Bread Co does anyone know?

I’m beginning to think that they were “supplied” rather than being the producers as a couple of times when I had a problem with a product they referred to “our supplier” in the email. (Had first class customer service from them on the issues by the way)You beat me to it - I was just coming here to post that I'd found them on that site too.

I had those too, didn’t red flag for me personally it’s how a lot of start ups operateI think I got a few emails asking for investing in the company which rang alarm bells for me. Only used them on the odd chance but was impressed by some of the stuff, shame.
Perhaps I was just being over cautious, bit cynical, time of yearI had those too, didn’t red flag for me personally it’s how a lot of start ups operate
Always pays to be cynical- wish I could teach my hubby that - the phrase “Facebook made me buy it” was written for him lolPerhaps I was just being over cautious, bit cynical, time of year
