Low-Carb Bread Recipe - To Die For

I’ve finally found it… an awesome low-carb bread recipe that’s super easy to make and tastes delicious!   Now I have something that I can spread all those wonderful wurst spreads on.

This is the original recipe link: How to Make Low-Carb Flax Bread.  However, I made only half of the recipe to try, with 3 eggs and no sunflower seeds.  Here’s how I did it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flax seed meal
• 1 1/2 tsp baking power
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 packet of Splenda (2 tsp)
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 Tbsp oil (flax if you have it)

Directions:

1. Turn on your oven to 325 degrees F and preheat for at least five minutes. Put some parchment paper on baking pan or spray with cooking spray.
2. Blend the wet ingredients together in a bowl – eggs, water and oil.
3. Whisk together the dry ingredients in another bowl – flax seed meal, baking powder, salt and Splenda.
4. Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix well.  Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes to let the flax thicken (but don’t leave it too long or it will be too hard to spread).
5. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread out toward the sides of the pan. The nice thing about this batter is that you can shape it on a larger pan and it will hold together.
6. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the bread spring back when you push it.
7. Cut into 8 pieces (or cut off edges & eat with butter, and then cut the rest into uniform squares)
8. Each slice is about .58 net carbs per fatsecret.com, where I typed in the recipe.
9. Use this low-carb flax bread to make your favorite sandwich, warm out of the oven with butter or alone as a snack.
