I'm currently low carbing, started a week ago and doing a mix of Biwi's boot camp :) Atkins, brifta and IPD.
Ive ordered some soy flour and vital gluten flour and fancy baking some low carb bread.
Does anyone have any good, tested recipes...? Thanks in advance :)

Tbh I found the whole thing much easier once I just accepted that I didn't eat bread anymore.

Sorry, not particually helpful.

Flax bread? Not going to work with ketogenic diet though but much lower carb than normal bread and healthier than the soya and gluten bread you are contemplating....

ALMOND MUFFIN LOAF
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups almond flour
3 eggs
1/4-1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup dry curd cottage cheese, packed (or cream cheese made from homemade yogurt) strain the liquid from the cottage cheese.
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 180 deg. C
  1. Grease a 4 inch x 8 inch loaf pan with butter and coat bottom with almond flour.
  1. Use food processor to mix eggs, melted butter, dry curd cottage cheese, baking soda, and salt. Process until thick and resembles butter in texture.
  1. Add almond flour and process until mixed thoroughly. If too stiff for processor, remove and knead with wet hands to evenly distribute almond flour. (Mine was wetand it was great)
  1. With wet hands, shape dough into loaf and press into greased pan.
  1. Bake at (180-200 C) for about 1 hour until lightly browned on top. There will be a crack on the top of the loaf. Check doneness by inserting knife and seeing if it comes out clean.
  1. Remove from oven, loosen from sides of pan with spatula.
  1. Invert onto rack to cool thoroughly, so it will be firm enough for cutting.

I slice it, freeze it and defrost for a quick breakfast.

Gobblers, I know what you mean about just learning to live without certain things. Substitutes for man thinks are unpalatable, frankly. Just thought that maybe I could bang some soy/ almond flour in the breadmaker with some fat and yeast and stil end up with some kind of bready like product.

BettyBathroom, thanks, this sounds good and I will definitely try it. Can I ask where you buy almond flour? I can only find small, 100g bags for £2??

Almond flour is just ground almonds. You can ground your own. I get mine in Waitrose - 200g for around £2.60. I agree that's better to adjust your diet and not seek out replacements but occasionally it's nice....and that's how we use the bread.
