:lol: I'm learning that fast. I'm on my third low carb bread attempt trying to find a really 'white' loaf that get as close to shop bread as possible.

If you come across that holy bread grail, please share the recipe :). I gave up months ago and make a great wee loaf for myself now in the microwave that takes all of 3 minutes to bake - no yeast, no errors, no waste, no hassle.

This is a recipe of my own - the result of tweaking several instant bread type recipes available on different boards. I have a link to a photo I put up on the net for a different forum and I will search it out and put it up later if you want to see what it looks like. It's very popular, though I say so myself, and works every time, unlike many bread machine recipes. It tastes a bit like Irish wholemeal bread.

Microwave Bread
Ingredients
70 gms Ground Almonds
30 gms Ground Linseeds
10 gms Bran (Jordan's is the lowest carb)
3/4 t Baking Powder
1/8 t Salt
2 crushed Splenda tablets

25 gms melted butter
2 beaten eggs
3 Tablespoons Kefir (or buttermilk, natural yoghurt or cream)

Method
Mix the wet ingredients and then add the dry. Mix swiftly, but well. Use a plastic lunchbox and cook in the microwave on high (category D) for 3 minutes - it should be dry on top. Cool on a wire rack and then slice from side to side, creating 5 thin slices or 4 thicker ones.
Delicious in a sandwich or toasted – use the grill and not the toaster for this as the slices are a bit more delicate than normal bread.

Here's the link to the photo - oh, and the entire recipe is about 11 carbs.

That looks good Babs. I've kept a note of it and will try it at the weekend.

My hubby went out of ketosis today. I'm trying to persuade him that the one slice of bread or cake (2 or 3 carbs) wasn't what did it but eating 1lb of grapes and half a lb of strawberries!

This is a Great Recipe! Contains no wheat or soy products... just nut flour.
