A good bread replacement when doing a low carb diet. All of the carbohydrate in the flax meal is fiber. Plus flax is super good for you! Great as a sandwich, with jelly, or with some edamame hummus. This is adapted from a recipe found on about.com.

FLAX BREAD (VERY LOW CARB)

Categories     Bread     Egg     Bake     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield variable

Number Of Ingredients 7

•2 cups flax seed meal
•1 Tablespoon baking powder
•1 teaspoon salt
•1-2 Tablespoons sugar equivalent from artificial sweetener
•5 beaten eggs
•1/2 cup water
•1/3 cup oil (I'll try coconut oil next time)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare pan (a 10X15 pan with sides works best) with oiled parchment paper or a silicone mat. 1) Mix dry ingredients well -- a whisk works well. 2) Add wet to dry, and combine well. Make sure there aren't obvious strings of egg white hanging out in the batter. 3) Let batter set for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken up some (leave it too long and it gets past the point where it's easy to spread.) 4) Pour batter onto pan. Because it's going to tend to mound in the middle, you'll get a more even thickness if you spread it away from the center somewhat, in roughly a rectangle an inch or two from the sides of the pan (you can go all the way to the edge, but it will be thinner). 5) Bake for about 20 minutes, until it springs back when you touch the top and/or is visibly browning even more than flax already is. 6) Cool and cut into whatever size slices you want. You don't need a sharp knife; I usually just cut it with a spatula. Nutritional Information: Each of 12 servings has less than a gram of effective carbohydrate (.7 grams to be exact) plus 5 grams fiber, 6 grams protein, and 185 calories.

Tips:

  • Use a digital kitchen scale to measure ingredients for more accurate results.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Low-carb flax bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional wheat bread. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its high fiber content, low net carbs, and nutty flavor, flax bread is a great choice for those looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Experiment with different recipes to find the one that you like best, and enjoy this tasty and nutritious bread as part of your daily meals.
