New Flax Bread Recipe

[Elizellen]

I have been playing with recipes lately and as I have been trying some recipes using Vital Wheat Gluten I thought I would add some to my microwaved flax bread recipe to see if I could lighten it up a bit for a change.

This is what I came up with.

Mini flax/wheat gluten loaves
3 ounces of melted butter
4 heaped tablespoons of ground flax seed (linseeds)
2 heaped tablespoons of vital wheat gluten
1 heaped teaspoon of Baking Powder
3 medium eggs
6 tablespoons of cold water
Pinch of salt

Mix together thoroughly and spoon into a greased 6-miniloaf baking tin (has 6 rectulangar holes)

Bake in a medium oven 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) for about 15 minutes till brown.
Remove from oven and leave a few minutes then turn out onto rack to cool

It worked out well, and the texture is more open than my microwaved flax bread.

They do look a bit 'lumpy' and are about twice as high in the middle as the edges, so next time I will smooth the tops out and maybe make a dip in the centre so they rise more evenly.

Edited to add
According to my fitday for my brand of ingredients the counts for one serving (1/6th of the recipe) are:
128 calories
Fat 10 grams inc 3.5 g sat.fat/3.1 g polyunsat.fat/2.6 g monounsat.fat
Carbs 3.5 inc 2.6 fibre = 0.9 net carbs
Protein 6.3 grams

A ratio of fat 64%/protein 26%/carbs 9% for anyone keeping count of that.

I made a double quantity recipe today to try and get a loaf for making sandwiches and toast and it came out well.
I have added it to the lowcarb recipes database here

Ooooooooooo, I'm so excited to try this!!! It looks delish!!!
When you made the loaf how many carbs would you say per slice???
And the mini loafs were less than 1 carb???
I'm going to look for a mini loaf pan this week
Thanks so much, it looks wonderful
