Low Carb Bread Breakthrough!
Wednesday January 11, 2006
I'm so excited! I've been playing with flax meal a lot lately, and I've developed this bread, which can be used in a variety of ways, including sandwiches and toast. The carbs in it are almost all fiber, and flax is SO good for you. Watch for my article next week about the wonders of flax, especially for low carb eating. Until then, try my Basic Flax Meal Focaccia Bread.

Horrible!!!
the worst-I can’t believe anyone can eat this horrible, horrible excuse for bread
I love this bread! It’s very filling and a great alternative to high carb breads — perfect for Atkins induction!
Oh my gosh I can’t believe anyone could not like this bread! It is the absolute best ever! It’s so filling. So versatile! I add to cinnamon or other flavorings for a wonderful breakfast bread. Leave it just like it is for sloppy joes or roast beef. I add a few spices and use for the base for pizza. Thank you so much! Everyone in my family is nuts for this stuff and if I don’t keep it make up there are no so subtle hints it time to make more!

This bread is AWESOME! You have to love grainy bread for this to work for you and it works for me! Very filling-even my husband likes it! We have been losing weight by switching to low carb and one of the things we miss the most is bread. This bread satisfied my craving for a tuna sandwich-much better than stuffing a lettuce leaf or celery with tuna! Thanks so much !
hi, this is more like a question. i was wondering if i could eat this during my induction diet? email me at josevarela_69@yahoo.com Thanks!
This bread is great and I am eating it during my induction since it is only .8g of carbs and 0g sugar.
Keep up the good work on creating these wonderful recipes.
This bread is the most tasty and delicious meal in my Atkins diet. I offered some of my friends (without saying what it is) and they loved it too. Excellent invention
Just made the bread with a couple of changes. Used 1 3/4 cups of flax and 1/4 cup of wheat bran, used garlic salt instead of regular salt, used olive oil for the oil and added black pepper and toasted sesame seeds. It was great with Muenster cheese.
It was a little to sweet and eggy for my taste.
Next time I’m thinking of reducing the eggs to 4, increasing the wheat bran to 1/2 cup, eliminating the sweetener and maybe adding Parmesan cheese
I tried this, it was very eggy and salty not my taste at all, maybe i got it wrong with have a play around with it and see how it goes. Used LSA instead of flax meal
What is LSA? I can imagine that using something different from flax meal might get a very different outcome.
Linseed (Flax meal) Sunflower seeds and Almonds
You may notice that my recipes with almond meal contain less egg and other liquid than those with flax. Flax acts differently — it soaks up any liquid easily, including the water in the egg.
Coconut flour is even more absorbent than flax. So when cooking with the different flours, the proportions change.
Also, you mentioned salty — that’s a taste thing. Most people like some salt in their bread and find the one teaspoon to be about right, but if you have cut down on the salt in your diet, it would taste salty. Also, make sure it’s a level measuring teaspoon. (My husband once interpreted teaspoon to mean to take one out of the silverware drawer. Not good!)
All good will try again
It is pretty good..first I made a misAKE AND ONLY PUT 0NE CUP OF FLAX..BOY IT WAS OILY BUT VERY GOOD..THE NEXT i DID AS IT should be done and added a bit of caraway..Really good. Hubby is a diabetic so i hope he will like it..hey! I cant bake to save my butt either..lol
Not a bad bread, but I think the amount of carbs per slice should be re-checked. All of the pure milled flax I have seen offers about 4 grams of carbs per 2 tbsp (one serving)of flax. At 16 tbsp per cup, 2 cups of flax (as per your recipe) would equal 64 grams of carbs, or around 5.3 grams of carbs per slice for 12 servings, not .8 as mentioned…
Great Bread, this is going to make dieting a whole lot easier.
Thank you
hey Scott. The Carbs mentioned are Net Carbs. Flax seed has 4g of carbs and 4 grams of dietary fiber. Net Carbs= Carbs - Dietary Fiber.
4-4=0
This bread was YUMMY! Add a little bit of Italian seasoning!
what is flax seed meal can you get it health shops or supermarkets in england trying to follow low carb diet but mising bread
I have no idea how people can say this bread tastes great. It’s not horrible, but it sure ain’t great!
