Thanks for tagging me,
@DJC3.
@Mrs T 123 -- Hugs for expensive baking mix, which didn't work out. Especially since you have been so much looking forward to having a slice of bread right of the oven with garlic butter to go with your lasagne. In the beginning, it took me quite a lot of attempts to get the bread right (so quite a lot of the pricey ingredients went down the bin). After a while, I started to get a feel for when it was right and it became more of a routine.
As
@DJC3 has mentioned, I base my bread on the dietdoctor keto bread recipe, however have found that no eggs whatsoever are needed to make it work. I also vary the low-carb flowers from while to while (currently using 2 quarter cups of lupin flour, 2 quarter cups of oat fiber, 1/2 quarter cup of almond flour, 1/2 quarter cup of potato fiber, 1 quarter cup + psyllium husk) plus various seeds and spices. Usually I need quite a bit more water (make sure the water is hot) than indicated in the recipe (probably due to the fact that some of the flours and seeds I use absorb more water than the almond flour used in the recipe). I also use baking powder with cream of tartar as a reliable rising agent.
@DJC3 -- Good luck for tomorrow. Can really empathize with your feeling anxious about this.
@PenguinMum -- Loved your expression "try January" (really funny) -- though I have to admit my miserable attempt doesn't even deserve this label, I've just plainly given up. I'm almost afraid, I will only have a real chance of prevailing when we finally return to real work, interacting with colleagues and students rather than being glued to the computer screen, having meetings without end on Zoom and advising students via telephone. I'm hoping for the second half of this year.
Luckily tough, low carbing (or keto) is so much of a routine now that even given these strange times, it isn't hard to stay on track.
