I also made some sliced keto bread for the first time last night. While cooking it smelt eggy as has 7 eggs in, and also contains coconut oil so when I tasted it straight out of the oven the coconut was quite over powering. However, after cooling down the coconut taste wasn’t as strong and I was quite impressed had a spongey texture to it.
This got me thinking I wonder if adding a bit a cinnamon to the mix it will taste like a spicy fruit loaf with lots of butter and some nice thick cream. Recipe below:
I have to say, on the rare occasions I feel like bread, I just eat bread. I'm a bit of a food snob and I reckon there's no such thing as an accurate substitute. But it's fun to play with things that can stand in their own right as tasty food, even if they're not technically bread. Those do look as if they'd be nice with a good chunk of butter.
Unfortunately, I can’t tolerate gluten so the delicious tasting breads are out for me, and it’s the gluten free breads which don’t taste that great, but I don’t have them and stick to my keto rolls.
I have to say since starting LCHF my taste buds have changed.
I had some chocolate the other day and I picked up the wrong bar in the fridge, so ended up with my hubbies, oh my word the artificial sugars or perhaps the higher content of sugar was awful I spat it out.
Oh ... that sucks. I don't eat much of it, for obvious reasons ... but I do like proper bread.
I'm back in the UK tomorrow so I might have a look around for some of these keto ingredients (eg., flaxseed. coconut flour) that you guys are mentioning. They're impossible to get where I live.
I know what you mean about sugary "ordinary" chocolate ... not nice at all.
Go to Holland and barrett (health shop chains in town) or some supermarkets sell it.
Buy yourself some chocolate as well
I highly recommend this, Montezuma very low carb and delicious. They also do almond bits or orange bits. Not all supermarkets stock it, but Sainsbury’s do.
Thanks for sharing! I had bought the ingredients a few weeks ago for keto rolls but hadn’t tried them yet. I’m reinspired! I will definitely be trying them in the next few days.
I've never been brilliant at cooking, but, they tasted lovely and I was so happy with them.
Nice to have cheese sandwich or bacon butty, yummy.
I passed the recipe to my friend and she said that hers came out purple, I don't know if that is to do with the Psyllium husk, but, mine have always been a normal bread roll colour.
Purple!! Ha! Yesterday at a pub I was attracted to the “baguette with rump steak and blue cheese” but knew I couldn’t have the bread. I usually order and leave the bread but hate to waste it, so I cheekily asked if they could just give me the fillings with no bread. I guess they get that request a lot and didn’t give me any weird looks. And it was delicious. Now I wonder what they’d think if I sneaked my own keto roll out of my bag and used that????😊
Hi Peanut31, I have made these rolls quite a few times for my husband. They have always worked 'well' except once. I do not know what I did differently that time. Anyway, my question is about what brand of ground psyllium husk powder do buy? And where do you buy it from? The reason I ask is that although I said that my rolls came out 'well', they look good and are good in some respects, but they have a grittiness. Which I think ruins them. I am quite sure that since theses rolls are so highly regarded on the Dietdoctor website and of course, by you, other people are making them without the grittiness that mine have. I actually don't eat them, but my husband does. ( I like this nutty 'bread' called Paleo Bread
I am fairly convinced it is my ground psyllium husk powder that is causing the problem and I have just about finished our current bag. The brand we have is NKD Living and my husband ordered it online. I am really hoping I can improve my rolls and make them as nice as you find yours! Hope you can help! Thank you!
Thank you very much for the link. I have just been reading around some of your previous posts and wonder how you are getting on with Keto/LCHF now? I wonder whether you have found what works for you?
I have been losing very slowly, then even a gain which I now think is linked to not going to the small room! I seem to be, distended! Oh dear this LCHF isn't as easy as Dietdoctor makes it seem, is it? Psyllium Husk is useful for the rolls, but I gather it is also a laxative, so I'm trying that now.
Thank you again for the link and I do hope you are finding what works for you.
What I’ve learned since starting LCHF eating, is I still have to watch my calorie content.
I can’t eat freely as obviously the food is high fat, and I gain weight, but, maybe it’s because I’m not overweight.
I didn’t necessarily eat unhealthy before, or so I thought, but, I was having lots of diet fizzy drinks, and loads of fruit, bowls of grapes, apples at night not realising they contained carbs, you just think of bread, rice etc.
I’ve become more educated on food and the effects it has on our body.
I’ve learnt i’m best not buying cream, dark chocolate as I have it all in one go, I thought it was just me, but it appears that I’m not the only one that can’t just have one square.
My skin is so much better, I noticed that straight away, I no longer suffer with spots and no bloating either.
I am the same about not being able to eat too much. My husband says that I have a faulty fuel gauge and don't realise when I'm full. Although I am not over weight I have unwanted mass around my middle so trying to lose that. I weigh in on the Monday Mass Movers on the weight loss forum, all new to me, but it is really good to read of everyone's journeys. I am losing at a rate of 0.4 lbs per week, so very slowly and that is the average so as it was faster to start with, it is even slower now. LCHF has definitely helped me weigh less than I have for 48 years! So although it is slow, it has been good and we like the food too. All the best to you and thank you again for the link. 😊💐
