Perfect Primo Bread

Like I’ve said before….I am a self admitted BREAD JUNKIE. I love bread. I like it toasted with butter, I like it grilled with cheese and bacon, I like it slathered with peanut butter and jelly. French toast, cinnamon toast, pizza toast. Panini, club sandwich, toasted with tuna, chicken salad. Egg sandwiches, finger sandwiches, BLT. Fluffernutter, ham & cheese, open faced turkey & gravy. Patty melt, Monte Cristo, Po’ Boy. Rueben, Sliders, & Dipped (in soup. au jus, sausage gravy)

So when I went low carb in July, giving up bread was the most difficult part.

Earlier this month I posted about my desperate search for the perfect bread recipe. The reason for THIS post….is that I may have FOUND IT!

Check it out low-carb, banting, LCHF, Paleo friends.  A delicious bread with under 2 carbs per slice!  It grills, toasts and spreads very well. It tastes as close to regular bread as it gets and it looks like white bread. Definitely worth a try!

  1. Hi Joy, the number one thing people seem to miss on a low carb plan is bread. It’s hard to believe that in January it will be two years since bread crossed my lips. Like you some bread recipes have just not been a success. This one looks great. I hope you don’t mind me reblogging this one. ;)

    • It is still a bit on the odd taste scale but I think its always going to be that way as long as you are using almond and coconut flours. However the eggs, bacon grease and butter really give it a less strong almond flour taste. Its pretty good! You can substitute the bacon grease with coconut oil also , but that gives a more coconutty flavor. :)

      • BACON!! :) Those are the magic words:) I’m going to try it just as written first, Then I was thinking hemp seed oil because it has a nutty flavor and the cooking temp is low enough to not break it down. I’ll report back after if it comes out different.

  2. This looks awesome! Bread is definitely at the top of the list for things I miss while on a low-carb diet. Just looking at that toast made me want to slather on the peanut butter or jam :). Can’t wait to try this out!

    • Joyce, I think that given the heavy egg content, you would be able ti substitute coconut oil measure for measure with no problem….the next time I make it I will try the all coconut oil and see how it comes out! I’ll let you know!
