SoOo ONCE again I'm experimenting with #lowcarb breads. We're a happy family of bread eaters #welovebread 🍞 but now that the hubs @kanzacs is pre-diabetic (yay 😒 way to rain on my carb parade, babe) I'm dabbling w/subs and alternatives. . . Unfortunately, bread is one of those on the short list along w/potatoes, sugar, pasta and rice 😫😫😫 . . To be fair, the last time I tried making low-carb breads was nearly a decade ago and it was a huuuge, HUGE disaster 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮 Not to mention a waste of resources, which is a mild pet peeve of mine. . . Anyhoo, I tried 3 separate recipes tonight. As a sidenote; low-carb bread isn't like making regular sandwich bread, which I actually luv doing, but more like making quick breads, which 1) is boring, and 2) just feels like cheating, but I digress. So the last 2 pics are of the 'disasters' - one totally bland and lifeless w/an unpleasant mealy mouthfeel, one didn't rise enough to be used as sandwich bread, and the other .. it juuust missed the mark 😕 So I Frankenstein'd together my own recipe using ideas from all three, which is what you see in the first 3 photos 😁 . . It's still not 'real' bread, but it has a nice crumb - we'll put it to the sandwich and toast tests tomorrow (wish us luck 🤞😬🤞) - mouthfeel is okay (not mealy, kinda nutty/chewy, but not distractingly so - sort of like that expensive otc seed bread that's all the rage right now, but is way too freaking expensive to realistically add to ones budget), instead of that weird 'peaking' low-carb breads seem to do in the oven it rose and formed well, and it actually .. hold on to your britches .. kinda Tastes. Good 🤯 Infact I downed 2 slices, plain, just after photographing it 🤯 . . But will it hold up lightly toasted with loaded chicken salad and cheese or to a fast and dirty PB&J or grilled cheese w/tomato soup 🤔??? . . Regardless, this isn't going to fully replace the breads we already enjoy (just in way, way, waaay more moderation now), but it might .. MIGHT .. be added to the rotation. Dunno yet! Might still need tweaking🤷♀️ I just wanted to share my experiment as it stands thus far w/y'all 😜 LOL https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-MTVzHfipXdiTY-gXJrPbI62sh4wfqa5mHn40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uq13tzyd5wne
