Low carb bread

 

Learn how to prepare this almond and psyllium bread easily and without complications.

We all like to have a piece of bread from time to time, if you follow a low-carb nutritional plan, this may worry you, because it shouldn’t be like that, it’s natural to crave foods that we are used to.

And not just out of habit, since that is what we want to change, also for a change, to enjoy other textures and flavors.

To begin with, when someone undertakes a low-carb plan, they progressively stop having anxiety for many of the foods they used to consume previously.

It doesn’t happen overnight, but over time, you may no longer want the breakfast bun, or the bread for lunch, perhaps the cookies with coffee will no longer be necessary.

The mechanism by which it happens covers different areas, for On the one hand, the psychological aspect, if I see that I’m improving, my brain rejects what makes me worse, and on the other hand, metabolic, my body experiences changes, receives new nutrients that make it function differently. What do I mean? Among other things, anxiety is reduced, the feeling of satiety lasts for longer hours, and your body no longer needs to eat as often. If you’re making changes to your diet, this low-carb almond and psyllium bread can help you. It’s not surprising that at first there’s a transition period, a time when your good side tells you to “stick with your plan, you’re doing well,” but your most rebellious side tells you: “come on, a croissant from time to time.” when it’s not so bad

You have to go through that period and certainly, that croissant on the weekend won’t be what ruins your diet, it will rather be what you do every day, if you are able to change your habits, things will improve and you will crave that croissant much less often.

Here, I want to make an aside, I think it is very important that after eating that bun that you wanted so much, you don’t feel guilty about it, look ahead, don’t complain, because then you may also have a problem.

 

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 low carb bread that can fulfill the functions of a conventional roll, providing greater nutritional value. In addition, this bread is much more satiating than wheat flour bread, as you know, almonds provide proteins and healthy fats, depending on your needs, let’s take a look at it calmly.

The ingredients needed 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 cooking, and that is that they do not contain gluten.

The lack of gluten is a handicap, a disadvantage, but it also makes these doughs suitable for gluten intolerant people and those with celiac disease.

This lack of gluten is a problem when making a dough, because gluten is precisely what gives doughs elasticity and, together with yeast is what makes them rise and become fluffy.

 

This low-carb bread is a perfect gluten-free bread option for those with intolerances or celiac disease.

 

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

You have probably already 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 almonds (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 we mentioned before, we need a binder, in the absence of gluten, the white is good!Baking powder, sea salt, and water are also needed. You can add spices, garlic powder, onion powder and it looks great with some sesame seeds on top.

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 (best with your hands).

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

Now you have some delicious bread rolls!

You can find this recipe at dietdoctor.com I have only made a few changes, if a recipe is good, why not take advantage of it?

 

These Bread rolls are rich in protein, healthy fats, and very filling.

 

Advantages of this low-carb bread compared to conventional cereal flour bread:

• It is more filling.
• Rich in protein.
• Provides healthy fats.
• It can help intestinal transit (psyllium)*.
• It does not contain gluten.

 

*Fiber is not the only way to regulate intestinal transit, in fact, it does not always help. For intestinal transit to improve, it is essential to take care of the microbiota by consuming prebiotic and especially probiotic foods, such such as fermented and sprouted.
