Gabi's World-Famous Bread


feedback:  not great, not really a sandwich bread, may have it again someday.

Keto in Bread Machine
Gabi's World-Famous Bread
Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg dry yeast (Rapid Rise/Highly Active)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar *
  • 1 1/8 cup "baby bottle warm" water (90-100°F)
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Splenda
  • 1 cup vital wheat gluten flour
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 3/4 cup soy flour
  • 1/4 cup flax seed meal
  • 1/4 cup coarse unprocessed wheat bran

Pour yeast into bottom of bread machine pan. Add sugar and water. Stir, and let sit. (This is "proofing" your yeast to see if your yeast is alive. If it's not bubbling, it's dead and you can replace it without wasting all of the other ingredients).

In the meantime, mix all other dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add oil to bread machine pan. Add mixed dry ingredients. Set your machine to the basic cycle (3-4 hours) and bake.

Cool on a rack and enjoy.


* The sugar is totally consumed by the yeast and does not contribute to the carb count. I keep a few packets of restaurant sugar on-hand for this purpose so I never have to have a supply of actual sugar in the house.

Makes 16 slices. 3.4 grams net carbs per slice.

ADDITIONAL NOTE FROM LORA: The above basic instructions are Gabi Moeller's original ones. Please remember that your machine may require changes. Refer to the instructions that come with your bread machine — making note of any special instructions for specialty or "gluten" breads. I own a West Bend Deluxe with horizontal baking pan. To get mine perfect, I add water and oil to bottom of pan, then dry ingredients, then yeast sprinkled evenly on top. After initial kneading cycle (about 40 minutes), I stop the machine's kneading paddles so as not to over-work the dough, then finish baking in bread machine. The loaf comes out picture perfect, high and traditionally bread-like. With low-carb bread, I definitely discovered that practice makes perfect.
