That period must be passed and certainly, that croissant During the weekend it will not be what ruins your diet, it will be more what you do every day, if you are able to change your habits, things will improve and that croissant you will feel like it much less often.

If you "fail" don't blame yourself, look ahead.

 

In order to better cope with those small bumps, it is interesting to have options and one of those options is this recipe, a bread low carb that can fulfill the functions of a conventional muffin, providing greater nutritional value.

In addition, this bread is much more satisfying than wheat flour bread, as you know, almonds provide proteins and healthy fats,

 

 

The almond and psyllium bread has few ingredients, although some you can replace them depending on your needs, let's see it calmly.

The necessary ingredients are similar to those of so many other low-carb doughs, if you notice, nut or coconut flour is always used.

The use of cereal flours is usually avoided, the reason is obvious, they are very rich in carbohydrates and the nutritional value of the final product is no longer the same.

When we use nut, coconut or root flours (such as tapioca starch), we have to face a handicap when it comes to cooking, and they do not contain gluten.

Lack of gluten is a handicap, a disadvantage, but it also makes these doughs suitable for gluten intolerant and celiac patients.

This lack of gluten is a problem when making a dough, because it is precisely the gluten that gives the doughs elasticity and, together with the yeast, is what makes them rise and remain spongy.

 

This low carb bread is a perfect gluten-free bread option for intolerant or celiac sufferers.

 

What can we do to improve the dough? Add psyllium, or rather, psyllium husk, because what is used is the husk of the seed of the plant known as ovata plant.

You have probably come across this plant before, it is used as a dietary supplement, especially to regulate intestinal transit.

Therefore we already have 2 of the main ingredients, the ground almond (the finer the better), and the psyllium husk, but we need something else, we add egg whites.

The use of egg white is necessary for the same reason that we alluded to before, we need a binder, in the absence of gluten, white is good!

Chemical yeast, sea salt, and water are also needed. You can add spices, garlic powder, onion powder and it looks great with some sesame seeds on the surface.

Preparing it is as simple as mixing all the dry ingredients in a bowl, adding the egg whites and mixing, then adding the very hot water and continuing to mix, (better with your hands).

Let the dough rest and cut it into equal portions, form buns, add the seeds on top and bake.

You already have some delicious bread rolls!
