Atkins Diet Recipes: Fast Low Carb Cheese Bread
In a search for a good low carb bread alternative that I can make easily without a bread machine, I found this great recipe by Jennifer Eloff (www.sweety.com It’s best toasted, but also makes a mean french toast as well. It holds up well to being dunked as well as holding your sandwich together. Fast Cheesebread low-carb-news.blogspot.com 1 cup ground almonds 2/3 cup gold flax meal 1/3 cup vital wheat gluten 1/3 cup vanilla whey protein 4 tsp baking powder 1 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup heavy cream/water mixture Mix Dry ingredients together in large bowl. Cut in the butter. In a separate dish, beat eggs and then add the heavy cream mixture. Stir egg/cream mixture into the dry ingredients just until mixed. Scrape into 8×8 well-greased baking pan. Cook at 350 for 35-45 minutes until inserted knife comes out clean. Once done, let cool, and cut the bread into quarters. Each quarter is further cut into 3 slices. Yield: 12 slices, 1 slice: 152 calories: 10g protein; 12 g fat; 2.25 g carbs

@qasion You can use? oat flour if you are sensitive to the wheat gluten.
Could you? make the same bread without the gluten and wheat?
@bowulf It came out OK, it was VERY chewy!! but toasted up good. I have a TJ where I live, so I will check it out.. Right now I eat Ezekiel bread. I have tried, 2 times, to make my own Ezekiel by sprouting the 8 kinds? of seeds they use, then dehydrating them.. It is tough to replicate..
@savgal1211 I am somewhat spoiled now with Trader’s Joe in the area. They have a commercial loaf of bread that only 4g of carbs. Yours does sound good though. ? Thanks for sharing!
I have 2 loaves of 1970s Vital wheat Gluten bread rising right now! I added 2 tbsp yeast and i tsp honey ( just atouch), I also now sprout my own spelt and wheat and millet, then dehydrate it and grind it to make a? low carb bread!!
oh, you have? a lightsaber oven.
Food & Drug Administration in Denmark advises against high intake of Flaxseed. Do not crush? flaxseed and consume them in large quantities. Flaxseed has high content of cadmium, which eventually can damage the kidneys .Flaxseed also has content of natural toxins (cyanogenic glycosides). These can decompose to hydrogen cyanide (prussic acid) by enzymes released by grinding. You risk damage to the nervous system consuming large amounts. There is not the same risk by consuming whole seeds
@bowulf? I would actually love you to try this also to see if it you feel that it works the same.
@SkeeterN I actually have some in my cupboard, but I haven’t made anything with it. Thanks for? the feedback and suggestion to get to using it.
There is a product called wheat protein isolate 8000 I? buy from Netrition that does what Vital wheat gluten does without carbs. Have you ever tried it? I make a similar recipe to this one using WPI 8000 and make cheesy bread that is awesome. I was using the vital wheat gluten till someone told me about the WPI 8000
@openuniverse2003 I not much of a baker, but there is not much of the carbs in the first place to get the yeast activated. So it my opinion, you just be left with a bunch of undigested yeast in your mix. Yeast depends on the easy, simple digested carbs of the flour — not the carbs? of cheese or almond meal. You can certainly try it, but that’s the reason behind the baking powder. It creates the carbon dioxide that creates the leavening in the recipe.
@bowulf Excuse me, I? replied to your reply, but it seems to have vanished. I had asked that, given that your recipe does n fact include some carbs, wouldn’t the addition of yeast remove them from the mix? Please advise. Thanks.
@bowulf Right, and your recipe does contain some carbohydrates. Wouldn’t adding a bit of yeast, and allowing the dough to “rest” for a bit? before baking, drive the carb content down even further, along with resulting in a somewhat fluffier bread?
@openuniverse2003 Yeast requires glucose (carbs) to eat to create leavening through its off-gassing. This? recipe without the carbs wouldn’t give the yeast molecules anything to eat.
No yeast??? What would happen if? you added yeast?
