Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients for the bread, in a medium-sized bowl.
- Bring the water to a boil and remove from heat. Add the hot water, vinegar and egg whites to the dry ingredients, while whisking with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don't overmix the dough (the consistency should resemble Play-Doh).
- Moisten hands and form the dough into 10 pieces, and then roll into hot dog buns. Place on the baking sheet, leaving space between them, as they will double in size.
- Bake on lower rack for 40-50 minutes, remove from oven, and set aside to cool (they are done when you tap on the bottom of the bun, and hear a hollow sound). While the bread is baking, prepare the garlic butter.
- Mix all of the garlic butter ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover, and refrigerate.
- Remove the garlic butter from the fridge. Using a serrated knife, cut the cooled buns in half, and then spread the garlic butter on each half.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425ยฐF (225ยฐC). Bake the garlic bread on the middle rack for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Why is my bread a purple color?
Did your bread end up with a slightly purple color? That can happen with some brands of psyllium husk. The taste won't change, but if you don't like the look you can try with another brand.

We recommend avoiding snacking. If you are hungry between meals, try making sure you're getting enough food and enough fat at each meal.
Love these breads. But mine never increase in size. Using Dr Oetker baking powder.
Any help please?
Thanks

You may want to check and make sure your baking powder, or other ingredients, are not expired.
Could you please clarify? This recipe doesn't call for coconut flour.
Is a step process missing?
"Add this" is referring to the dry ingredients that you mixed in the previous step. So it would read as "Bring the water to a boil and add the dry ingredients, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl."
Is it possible you used psyllium husk rather than psyllium husk powder? It takes the husk, which are larger, longer to absorb the liquid. Low carb breads tend to rise very little.
"Bring the water to a boil and add this, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while whisking with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds."
Is it the "add this" part that's confusing? It's saying that once the water is boiling, you'll add the water, the vinegar and the egg whites to the bowl that already contains your dry ingredients. Hope this helps!
Outstanding! Thanks for your feedback, Ayden. Weighing ingredients is always good to do with baking.
