Question:
Does any of you have recipes for Low Carb bread preferably for the bread machine? I'm going to start the Atkins diet and need some recipes for bread. Other wise it's not allowed on the diet.
Answer:
This is a very old question. The best we have been able to do (IIRC) is to suggest that you try to raise the protein in the bread you bake. One way is to substitute soy flour for some of the regular flour. You can look for a recipe that has eggs in it as well. Also, I believe that you'll probably want as whole a wheat flour as you can possibly get. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Carob is a brown powder made from the pulverized fruit of a Mediterranean evergreen. Some consider carob an adequate substitute for chocolate because it has some similar nutrients (calcium, phosphorus), and because it can, when combined with vegetable fat and sugar, be made to approximate the color and consistency of chocolate. Of course, the same arguments can as persuasively be made in favor of dirt.
