Description
This is the best homemade low carb yeast bread recipe that I have found that gets great results every time. Can be baked in a bread machine or the oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package dry yeast Rapid Rise/Highly Active
- ½ teaspoon sugar see note
- 1 ⅛ cup warm water (120-130°F) 265 grams
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil 35 grams
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten flour 150 grams
- ¼ cup oat flour 35 grams
- ¾ cup soy flour see note
- ¼ cup flax meal 35 grams
- ¼ cup coarse unprocessed wheat bran 15 grams
- 1 Tablespoon sugar see note
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- NOTE: for best results, use weights as measure.
- Proof the yeast by mixing it with the sugar and water at the bottom of the bread machine loaf pan. (If it’s not bubbling, the yeast is no longer active so it should be tossed out)
- Combine the oil, vital wheat gluten flour, oat flour, soy flour, flax meal, wheat bran, sweetener, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dry mixture over the wet ingredients in the bread machine pan.
- Set bread machine to the basic cycle (3-4 hours) and bake.
- Cool on a rack then slice.
Notes
- The original recipe called for sugar which should not contribute to the total carb count since it should be consumed by the yeast. So real sugar should be used if available.
- Makes 16 slices. Nutritional data is per slice.
- Almond flour should work as a substitute for soy flour as shown in the comments.
- Proofing the yeast is optional. You can first add the wet ingredients into the pan and then add the combined dry ingredients with the yeast mixed in.
- To make by hand, just combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl instead and knead for 8-10 minutes. Cover with a dishtowel and let the dough rise for an hour and a half. Then knead 4-6 times and place dough into an oiled pan. Cover again for about an hour then bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes.
