Bread

  • Hello. I found this "bread" recipe on youtube. I plan on making it when I'm on maintenance and have a craving for bread.

  • I used to buy it at GNC years ago. i don't know if they still have it.
  • Thank you patns. I will look for it at GNC.
  • how many carbs are in it? I guess I missed that part.

    I found a bread from a local deli that has less than 2 carbs for 2 slices and has 14g of protein. It actually tasted pretty good while on maintenance. Nice and soft with a normal flavor.

    Hi Showgirlaz. I haven't been able to find a store bought bread that low in carb. I'll keep looking.

    How can I figure out how many carbs is in the bread recipe I posted?

    1/3 cup ground flax seeds
    1/3 cup carbquick
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 Tbsp oil
    1 Tbsp cream
  • You can use a nutrition database, figure out the ingredients individually to create a total for the recipe then divide the totals by the possible appropriate sized servings to get the individual per serving counts.

    There are a few company's that make 1 and 2 carb per slice breads. I have tried a few but, the one made by my local bakery seems the best. On a national scale some people can find and use Julian low carb bread. It is considered to be one of the best low carb breads around and they have 2 or 3 varieties. I know it is available in the USA, not really sure if it is available to Canada.

    As an FYI, another low carb bread option is to make flax foccacia bread. I am sure the recipe is in the recipes 2 thread. If you don't see it google search it. Flax is a great way to get useable fiber and by the time you take the fiber count out, a slice of the bread is about 1 carb.
  • There is a bakery here in the PNW... I believe. Its called Jullians Bakery, and they offer a "smart carb" bread, 3 different kinds... I know that they have a facebook page, so I am sure that they have a website, I just don't know what it is.
