I put the recipe into MFP, just for the dough it is about 50gm total carbs for the whole thing. Which would be about 3-4 carbs per slice of bread or slice of pizza. Not too bad!

Yeah, thatās right! The other shocker is the amount of protein, especially from the gluten.
If you go by net carbs it is only 2gm per serving. And 6 grams of protein and fat each!!
Anyone know where I could buy the gluten. I live near Sydney Australia and donāt have access to amazon.
Check out shops that specialize in baking supplies. Gluten is often used to enhance some flours that need extra gluten boost (from a bakerās point of view). Another place to look is health supplement shops, because body builders have used it to add a non animal source protein to their protein shakes. Also, stores specializing in vegetarian or vegan foods, as this is an ingredient used to make seitan (faux meat).
I need to find a substitute for almond flour. Maybe macadamia? Im horribly allergicā¦ like hospital style.
Also,
Nope, oddly itās just specifically almonds. Iāve seen a few different powders on Amazon, but none are exactly cheap
Iāll keep an eye out for hazels though. Thanks!
I will one day repeat this recipe with coconut flour. I have to play with the ratios. Itās not straight forward.
If you can get hazelnut flour, you can substitute one for one with almond flour.
You know whatā¦Iām working on that. Thereās a ādutch wet processā Iām playing around with. Will definitely report back if I can figure it out. Itās tricky because I got to keep the yeast alive and happily feeding. Hang tightā¦
Dana Carpenderās earlier cookbooks had a lot of bread recipes using vital wheat gluten, but her later ones donāt use it. I find that my joints ache when I eat low carb bread made with it
Thank you for the recipeā¦ I have been meaning to come up with my own low carb bread recipe using Malherās ingredient list.
I even tried air tossing/stretching Carlshead pizza this weekā¦(my 1st job was in a hand tossed pizza joint), it didnāt work.
Many thanks for the pictures and recipes.
Bobās red mill vital wheat gluten is available via walmart for those that need to find some.
Tried tonight, on its second rise now, though the first time didnāt rise much. I think I used too much water and the yeast didnāt seem to really take off, so maybe next time! My yeast is a little old since I havenāt had a need for it in 6 months!
If the yeast is old, it will take more than one rise. Thereās usually an expiration date on the package. Doesnāt mean expired yeast doesnāt riseā¦it will take longer. In the photographs above, you will see how much the yeast puffed up when I mixed it with sugar and water. It almost overflowed the little glass cup.
Iām not 100% sure if I have issues with gluten, or if it is carbs only. I think this recipe would be a perfect way to test that. It looks amazing!! Thank you, @Fiorella!
Yes! I miss sourdough so much! I donāt miss bread too often but do miss that lovely sourdough flavor with lots of butter, of course.
