[edit] LC Breads

[edit] Spinach bread

• 1 box chopped frozen spinach (defrosted and water squeezed out)
• 4 eggs

To your tase add...

• Parmesan Cheese
• bacon bits
• salt & Pepper
• minced garlic
• paprika
• dehydrated onion.

[edit] Mix it all together.

Grease a square pan for thick bread or a rectangle pan for thinner bread. I make mine in a rectangle pan for the thinner looking bread. Now, the trick is to really grease your pan well with butter, then with pam or it will not come out. bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until firm. Let cool and using a spatula go around the edges and start to pry it up. It will be a little hard at first but then it will get easier once you get the sides started. It will come out in one piece. I cut in half twice and make two sandwiches. I toast them on the stove and add provolone, ham, turkey and grill it like a grilled cheese. Serve with mayo and mustard and wow, you must try

[edit] Flax Bread

1 ounce of melted butter 2 medium eggs 4 tablespoons of flax 4g net carbs 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.

Mix together and put in the microwave and for 3 minutes.

This makes a fairly close textured bread that tastes to me like wholemeal bread.

You could add Parmesan or some herbs.

1 cup seeds (168 grams weight) = 48.53 carbs less 45.9 fiber = 2.63 net carbs
1 cup ground seeds (112 grams weight) = 32.35 carbs less 30.6 fiber = 1.75 net carbs

[edit] Four substitute

zero carb baking mix is a blend of soy protein isolates, oat bran, wheat protein and pinch of baking soda. What ratios?
Atkins Bake Mix uses protein rich soy flour and polydextrose, a unique carbohydrate which is minimally absorbed so it has no impact on blood sugar

Caralose flour? http://www3.netrition.com/tova_carbalose_page.html Is it an option when you're down to optimal weight?
