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)



FLAX BREAD (VERY LOW CARB) image

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 food processor or high-powered blender: This will help you achieve a smooth and even batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes before baking: This will allow the flaxseeds to absorb the moisture and create a more cohesive loaf.
  • Bake the bread at a low temperature for a longer period of time: This will help the bread to cook evenly without burning.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

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 with a variety of dietary restrictions. With its high fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content, flax bread is a great choice for anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being.
