1 pkg dry yeast (Red Star for Bread Machines is good)
1/2 tsp sugar (so the yeast has something to eat)
1 1/8 cup water
(warm, but not too hot, or you'll kill the yeast - baby
bottle warm is best)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp artificial sweetener (Sugar Twin works really well)
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour
1/4 cup oat flour
3/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup coarse unprocessed wheat bran
Pour yeast into bottom of bread machine pan;
add sugar and water, stir and
let sit
(this is a yeast starter to see if your yeast is alive if it's not
bubbling,
it's dead and you can replace it without wasting all of the other
ingredients).
In the meantime
Mix all other dry ingredients together in a bowl
Add oil to bread machine pan
Add mixed dry ingredients
Set your machine to the basic cycle (mine is a Panasonic and that's four
hours) and let 'er rip.
Cool on a rack and enjoy
As for carbs, here's the low down:
The whole loaf this way has 72.5 carbs
and 24.25 g's fiber,
subtract the fiber and you end up with 2.99 carbs per
slice (16 servings per bread).
Now if you want to cut those carbs a little,
then substitute the oat flour with soy flour
and the bran with flax seed
meal.
That will give you a loaf that has 64 carbs with 24 g's fiber, and
that works out to 2.5 carbs per slice
now I won't be held responsible if
your slice has the thickness of two.
Now, if you can't do soy,
substitute the soy with oat flour and use only the
flax seed meal (or the bran if you want to).
The loaf with all flax will
have 72.5 carbs and 14.75 g's fiber.
That works out to 3.6 carbs per slice
(16 servings).
