Schizophrenis' Keto Cousine, #1 BEST Low-Carb Bread recipe

in bread •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello guys, Schizophrenis here! It's been a while since my last post. It's nice coming back for more.

These past few months, I have been following a Ketogenic diet. My physical and mental health have improved a great deal since I started, and it's something I would at least in part attribute to the diet. It's not an easy diet to follow, and due to the dietary restrictions, it can be a pain in the ass- being deprived of all those glorious high-carb foods we hate to love.

One of the things we Keto-enthusiasts frequently miss is the simplicity and deliciousness of a regular sandwich. Stuff some cheese and ham in-between two slices of bread, grill it a little bit, and dig in.

I personally have tried making many different bread recipes, both custom and stuff I have found on the internet. To be honest, everything up to this far was underwhelming. But recently I stumbled upon a relatively unheard recipe among the Keto community; Mika’s bread. And what a bread it is!

You can find the recipe here: https://mybigfatketolife.com/2016/12/16/recipemikas-bread-aka-the-best-keto-bread-ever-vegeterian-dairy-free/

Here's how my bread turned out: ^2FBF30CAD2A7CB1AD0828FBB7DEBEA48EC9EA54FBCC827E8A9^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr.jpg

I have to tell you guys, the taste is amazing. It's soft, fluffy, tastes light, and does not taste eggy for a 10 egg recipe at all.

Kudos to Mika for coming up with this great recipe!

I tried making two sandwiches earlier, just sprinkled some cheddar on 4 slices and topped one with ham, the other with chicken, then toasted them for a minute or two.

I am excited and satisfied by the result. It's nice to be able to just patch up and eat a sandwich like a normal person once in a while. Only this bread is more nutritious and healthier than regular store-bought bread. So, if you are looking for a bread alternative for your high fat diet, please try this, you won't be disappointed. Just make sure to cook it well enough so it dries up enough and loses its moisture excess.

Now, I am off to make more sandwiches. See ya all.

I eat low carb and I've seen this recipe around, I've never tried it because of all the eggs! It looks like it got nice and toasty though, most low carb breads don't, I might try this out :)

It gets relatively dry, unlike most Keto Breads around. Also the taste is not eggy at all, at least in comparison with other popular keto bread recipes like keto connect's perfect almond bread (that one is like eating egg-flavored bread haha). The only downside is that it's relatively expensive, 100 grams of Psyllium Husk is not exactly cheap where I come from, but that's the case with a lot of decent keto foods.

Next time I make this, I might go for an italian garlic-bread seasoning. Add oregano, basil, thyme, powdered onion, and garlic! I think that would make an already-tasty recipe even more glorious!

Making your own is a good choice. I haven't tried almond flour. What would be other options? Coconut?

As a general rule, coconut flour sucks 4 times more fluids than almond flour. So if you want to replace almond flour with coconut flour in any recipe, you need to use 4 times less coconut flour. The result won't be the same no matter what, as coconut flour is more "chewy" and soft, but it can be good nonetheless.

Mind you, this recipe uses neither of the two, it has just Psyllium Husks instead. The creator claims you alternatively use Fiber Mix instead of Psyllium, and in the Greek version of the blog-post also mentions you can also use Flaxseed meal. It is suggested that a mix of 50% Fiber mix and 50% Flaxseed meal might be ideal for this recipe.

Old rule of not commenting when almost asleep applies, I don't know where I took the almond flour from ;)
In that case remember not to eat too much at once and drink a lot of fluids, psyllium husks can be tricky on your bowels :) but then I guess you know it well.

That looks just like normal bread. How does the taste compare to it?

I would say it tastes as it looks! It has a relatively neutral taste. It's not spicy or salty. It's the closest keto-thing I have had that's like regular bread.
