Hiya EmmaB thanks for the reply I appreciate it. I look forward to trying this bread out soon :)

This bread is incredible. Last night I made a pizza with it. I made the recipe and splooshed it down into a large shallow baking tray, then cooked it, then put the pizza toppings on, then back into the oven until the toppings cooked. Even the kids ate it.

Next time I'm going to make a smoked salmon and fetta pizza, and put the mixture in thinner so it's like a thin pan rather than tasting like a thick pan like it did last night.

:q: Is it really low carb? Really? Really? Really? Just seems too good to be true. And I'd hate to cheat on this diet without intentionally doing so.

Cheers

Hi Ausgirl. Here's the data I got out of Fitday a few months ago when I first made the bread. I used custom foods (details off the packages) for the LSA, the psyllium husks and the WPI (mine is 0.9g carbs per 100g).

Total Cals: 1148
Fat: 93g (840cals - 76% of total cals)
Carbs: 41g (32cals - 3% of total cals)
Fiber: 33g (0cals)
Protein: 60g (239cals - 22% of total cals)

Which means net carbs of 8g per loaf. This will be slightly higher if you use WPConcentrate rather than isolate. Even if you only get 8 servings out of a loaf (I probably get around 12 servings, it's so filling), it's still on 1g net carbs per serve. Pretty good for yummy bread.

Hope that helps!

Em, thats great. Thanks.

Will have to make another batch tomorrow.

how much ingredients to use to make LSA?
 

I called several places and cannot locate LSA (I live in San Diego, California). I am also not much of a baker or cook....Any idea what quantities of the ingredients to use to make LSA?

Thanks,

Chris Milligan

where on Sandra Cabot's website is LSA?
 

I went to Sandra Cabot's website and can't find LSA :(

Hi cgm, sorry you've been having so much trouble with this. I hadn't realised how hard it would be to get LSA outside Australia. Here's a recipe I found here which sounds right to me.


So the ratio you want is 3:2:1 of flax:sunflower:almonds

Hi

Does anyone know if this recipe could be made in a bread machine

Elkay, here's a cut and paste of something I wrote on the previous page:
Hope that helps!

Em

hi elkay... in a bread machine ...in a word ...NO...LOL

VOODALOO! You're still alive! It's great to see you posting in your thread again! I feel like a disciple of yours, I love your bread so much :)

Em

P.S. I noticed a cut of paste of your recipe had been posted on a Christian low carb board without any acknowledgement of the source at all (found it while searching for LSA ratios). It really p***ed me off but I had to register in order to post so I just let it slide.

Hi em...yeah, I'm still alive ..only the good die young..been a bit naughty this year but I'm back on the wagon again now ..thank you for your kind thoughts..I am a bit staggered at the number of hits on my thread and it is nice to know so many people have enjoyed my receipe..take care ..John..x

I have taken the liberty of recalling this post by dietcoke for I think it fits into this thread ....

hi cheryaust and others,

ok i'd tried baking fibrex with my microwave and yesss it works! i made some choco bread and they were absolutely heavenly (texture is kinda like bodhi's bread)! the best part is, it took me only 2 mins to prepare to 2.5 mins to nuke it in the microwave no way am i ever eating fibrex as a cereal ever again!

the entire bread looks like 3 slices of normal bread slices. but i ate the entire thing all by myself *rubs happy tummy*

ingredients:
50g FibreX
1/4 Tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa powder
4 Tbsp Splenda (or to your taste)
1 Tbsp Double Cream
2 eggs
20g melted butter
enough water (very little!) to mix above into a thick pourable consistency

steps:
1. mix all ingredients together (i used a blender but hand will be fine) and add a little water at a time until the ingredients turns into a normal cake pourable mixture (not too watery)
2. line a microwavable lunchbox (to save on washing and ease of removing the bread later) with gladwrap and pour in the mixture
3. nuke for 2.5 - 3 mins in microwave

i melted 2 blocks of cadbury's lite chocolates and spread over the entire mini "bread" and it was mucho-yumbo!

I make this receipe often, especially when I'm in a hurry ..I have tried a few changes ,more baking powder,only one egg,no coco,no splenda but a hand full of grated cheese..either way it hits the spot..one warning..nuke for 3 minutes max..turn out to cool then be a little piggie and enjoy ... dietcoke babe, take a bow...thanks ..John...xx

John, what do you find so amusing about my question???

Hi elkay ...didn't mean to offend but the mixture has the consistency of porridge before it's cooked and I had this vision of the beadmachine flicking it all round the kitchen and it was that that struck my funny bone ..my apologies..John..
