    A revised and updated verion of my healthy bread recipe.  It should be called healthy bread 2.0!  I played around with the original recipe and came up with this delicious version which personally I think it a bit more "bread like" for a low carb bread mainly due to the addition of psyllium husk powder.

    Paleo low carb bread

    This paleo bread is great sliced and toasted. The Chief Taster has been enjoying a slice every morning with his scrambled eggs each morning.  It seems to keep him going all morning as he has not been beating down the door at lunchtime with a ravenous hunger.   

    Almond flour bread

    I added chia seeds to give the bread a bit of a healthy crunch, but also for the many nutritional benefits of these little wonders.  This a great low carb bread full of all my favourite low carb flours and so easy to make too.   You could add other flavours to this with herbs and spices and not be disappointed.  My next plan with this is to probably add some seeds to it.   

    The joy that is pysllium husk powder gives this bread the dough like texture that is often missing from low carb breads.   High in fibre and low in carbs, what more could you ask for!

    • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
    • 5 large eggs
    • ¼ cup olive oil or coconut oil
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

      I just made this bread and it looks amazing, however in the 9x5 loaf pan it did not rise enough(for lack of a better term) to make sandwich size pieces. I wanted to double the recipe but remember your comment about it not cooking all the way through. I would say the height of each slice is about 1.5". What can I do achieve a larger slice to make sandwiches?

        If you double the recipe, I would reduce the heat to cook it longer.

      Hello. Can you clarify what you mean by "dough-like texture" in number 7 of your instructions? IE., as in shape like a dough ball with hands? Or, as in 'pours out like cake batter', etc. Thank you.

        Shape like a dough ball more than pour out. The psyllium husk powder will give the mixture a more dough like texture.

        It will be the brand of psyllium husk powder. For some reason, some brands will give a purple colour to it.

      A tiny tweak today was to add the chia seeds into the boiling water and let it sit 2-3 minutes. The chia seeds got more gelatin like which I preferred. Loving this bread!

      Having made the previous version of this recipe scores of times there was a reluctance to change but I had chia seeds and psyllium laying around from other experiments so decided to try this one. I thought maybe the lack of. Baking soda was a mistake and saw a comment about adding a half tspn. So, with that mod and 1/3 cup of walnuts and cranberries and a tspn of cinnamon and coconut sugar I made this today. Wow! Much moister and more flavorful than the other version. Angela - you hit a home run with this.

      I'm now on my third loaf of this bread and it is very good. Just wondering if your almond flour is made from whole almonds including skins, or from blanched skinless almonds? I have been using "natural whole almond flour" but have found flour from skinless almonds that is just over half the price of the "natural" version.

      Reply
      • Angela Coleby

        October 18, 2017 at 7:34 pm

        I use both! I've also made my own almond flour which takes a while but works out cheaper. It involves taking the skin off the almonds, drying them, grinding them a couple of times. When I don't have the time I'll just grind the nuts with their skins on.

      my loaf is in the oven so here's hoping it will be as good as it looks.... please amend the directions to include the addition of baking powder, chia seeds and salt. I'm assuming they come before the vinegar but the directions don't say anything about adding them in. I didn't notice until after the vinegar was added so I hope it still turns out. thanks Lisa

      How do you account for the differance in calories and fat in this bread recipe from the Healthy Low Carb & Gluten Free Bread that it is modeled after. The basic ingredients are the same with some additions here. This bread says it yields 10 serv. and has 156 cal and 12g fat. The other says 8 serv.and has 267 cal and 24g fat. This doesn't make sense. I need to keep the fat down so I need to be sure this is lower fat.
      Your advise please.

      I have a loaf of this bread in the oven right now. I didn't seem to get a dough like consistency with the boiling water. Is the mixture suppose to thicken up to form a dough with the boiling water? I'm sure it's going to taste just as great but I noticed on your flatbread recipe pictures the mixture seemed to thicken with boiling water. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and answering our questions! Jo

        It's tablespoons. Not sure what went wrong as the apple cider vinegar normally gives this a lift. Add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda perhaps?

        Hi Jo, yes it will. Flax comes in different colours but as long as it is ground you can use it. I use golden as much as possible purely as the husband moans about the flavour of anything darker. The lengths I have to go to at times to sneak flax into his food...:)

          Hi. This sounds crazy but I love everything about this bread . . . except for the taste! I love its simplicity, I love the smell, I love the texture, but I can't do baked ground flax - brown or golden 🙁 Is there a substitute I could try? I realise it's pretty key to the structure so I may be outta luck but thought I'd ask 😉

            You could add a bit more of the other ingredients. Perhaps replace it with more almond flour. Use almond meal to keep it a bit more "wholemeal bread-like".

        Hi Ruth. I used to buy my almond flour online from Amazon but now I made my own as it's too expensive here. I've found that even using almond chips, ground up in a coffee bean grinder works. The coconut flour that I used to use in the UK was purchased from Holland & Barrett. Holland & Barrett sometimes have special offers too, so keep an eye out for them! I totally agree with you on the different quality of baking varying between flour brands! I've had some disasters with poorer quality at times! Hope this helps!

        Hmm...fairly as it gives it a more "doughy" texture. Have a look for anything sold as "colon cleanseer" as it is often mainly psyllium husk and might be cheaper (is for me here at the moment). Perhaps some ground chia seeds but add another tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a teaspoon of baking soda to give the mixture a bit more "lift".
