How Miss Britt Makes Low Carb Bread: A Bedtime Story

by Miss Britt on April 28, 2008

I’ve been trying to eat healthier and force feed my family more nutritional stuff as well. Part of this involves me buckling down and getting back on my low carb diet. Part of that involves me running all over hell and highwater (where is highwater, exactly?) in search of all the ingredients needed for various low carb recipes. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to find soy flour?)

That’s the preamble. Now, let’s get to making “Low Carb Quick White Bread“, shall we?

recipe

husband

ingredients

Officially: whey protein powder*, egg white powder*, baking powder, Splenda, salt, heavy cream, eggs, water, and olive oil.

*Will require a body part (preferably an arm or a leg) in exchange for.

dry

wet

THEN! You mix the DRY! with the WET!.

likeso

handmixer

pour

oven

Then you wait for 15-20 minutes. I recommend you pass the time having a cigarette. Because this is all about getting healthy.

    And THIS is why Crys swears that low carb is a joy-less diet.

    There is no joy in that. There is only…
    “Wow, I need to drive to the store and buy some fucking Rainbo White Bread!”

    And… you can’t, because you are low carb dieting.

    And yet, there is joy in a smaller ass.

    If only I could reconcile those two.
    *sigh*

    :blush:

    Upside! Your ass is WAAAAAAY smaller than mine!

    Mmmmm, half-risen eggy goodness. I made a similar thing once and it puffed up like a big souffle and was raw in the middle. Good thing was, it put me off bread for a few days!

    I’ll let you know how my next effort in the bread machine goes.

    NYCWD: I SHOULD try Orange. Why do I always forget that?? Oh… and I don’t really “do” chocolate, so :nana:

    CharlieDaniels: my kitchen must photograph well. LOL

    Ok… I think it is time to have a heart to heart talk with your oven. You didn’t cook the bread, the oven did. You just put the ingredients together. Apparently your oven does not know what team work is. If it doesn’t shape up soon. I think you should fire it!

    themuttprincess: no, it’s really not – but after three years you start to look for some new things to add to the diet.

    Lisa: I’ve been on a low carb diet (mostly) since my daugther was born three years ago. I lost about 40 lbs doing it. Problem is, I haven’t been paying attention to what I eat at all for about 2 months.

    And I love banana bread!!

    Ok, I’ve just made this same recipe, but big difference in the results. I didn’t mix the dry, mix the wet, blend with mixer. I threw it all into a bowl, mixed with a spoon, “whipped it real good”, threw it into a loaf pan, and 17 minutes later, it was a loaf, and a decent one. The whey makes it dry tasting, but works well. Give it another try, it’s not too shabby.
