Low Carb Carbalose Bread - Diabetic Chef's Recipes (2024)

Low Carb Carbalose Bread. There are many of you who don’t have the same (rather odd) size loaf pan that I used to develop the original Carbalose Flour Bread so this slightly smaller loaf of low carb carbalose bread is for you. I recently bought a standard size 4”x8” loaf pan, adjusted the ingredients, and it did indeed turn out perfectly. Do not use a larger pan for this as it will not work. As you look carefully at the pictures notice I did use my electric knife and I did get 18 slices+2 heels. Each slice weighs on average about 32g, some a little larger and some a little smaller and those heels?…I save and freeze to either make bread cubes or crumbs. If you are going to make rolls, buns, or baguettes then use the original recipe as the nutritional calculations below are for the slightly larger dough amounts.

Carbalose Bread Addendum & Update

I have wanted to write this addendum update for about 6-8 months, am finally doing it, and it will make your breads and rolls oh so much better. I have had people asking me how to get rid of the holes that sometimes end up in their bread. I set about trying to find a solution and have come up with it and all it entails is adding one whole egg in place of ¼ C water. I have also begun using butter instead of coconut oil but that is a personal preference. It is the egg that makes the difference and somehow, chemically, not only enables better stability of the dough but better keeps it from losing some of its puffiness or collapsing. I haven’t done it yet, except for many loaves of bread but I do think this change will make a big difference for you when shaping and making rolls or things like hamburger or hotdog buns and larger baguettes for garlic bread etc. This small change will work in any of the bread-like recipes using 1½ C of Carbalose Flour or more.

Don’t despair if you do not have an electric knife but you will probably not be able to make a less than ½” cut the way I can. I would think on average and if cut with a good SHARP bread knife, you should be able to get 14-15 slices which is completely acceptable.

You can do all the same things with this slightly smaller loaf that can be done with the only slightly larger loaf so have at it and have fun with it.

DO NOT USE CARBQUIK-IT WILL NOT WORK.

Nutritionals are below the recipe.

• Equipment Needed:
• Large Cuisinart or other Large Food Processor
• Electric Knife
• Small Cutting Board
• 4” x 8” x 2 ½” Loaf Pan (Non-Stick)

If you use a larger loaf pan then your bread will be longer, not rise as high, and will be wider that the picture above.

Use for Stuffed Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast and the dough for low carb carbalose bread may also be used for rolls, buns, individual baguettes, and whatever else you might imagine. Also makes great bread crumbs and yes, even Basic Pizza Crust. A roll, hot out of the oven? Slathered with butter? Heavenly.

To the left is Tara’s first time loaf and I think we should all give her a hand because it takes courage to make that first loaf and then…it’s Katy bar the door with what you can do with the basic dough after that. If you will just make 3 loaves of low carb carbalose bread, one for bread, one for croutons, and one for crumbs, I doubt you will ever want to be without them. Many other recipes are built around this basic recipe using more/less some of the same ingredients. To the right are some rolls made by Dviolette and I’ll bet they are as good as they look. Yum.

It took me many tries to get the original Carbalose Flour Bread recipe just right and I paid nearly $700.00 to have it tested through Exova Laboratories so I know all the figures are correct. The figures below are only slightly off as this recipe uses a bit less ingredients than are listed in the original and I am not going to the trouble of changing them all.
