Tip!
You can store the bread in the fridge for 2-3 days or slice it and freeze for later use. Reheat on low temperature in the oven or microwave. You can even use the toaster for additional crispiness.

Can this bread be made in a bread maker (made and cooked)? any adjustments needed?
Unfortunately not - there is no need for keto dough to be kneaded and left to rise.
Is it possible to use Soya Flour instead of Almond flour? How would the rest of the proportions change, in that case?
We have not tested this recipe with soy flour. 1/4c is 10g carbs, which is higher than almond flour. Many people avoid soy as it can be a hormone disruptor.
I used goat cheese instand of the cream cheese. The batter was almost like dough, a little bit more running.
I made 4 servings and used a small round pan and it turned out quite nicely. The taste is great, I tasted it still warm, but it seems to be quit nice. I dont untherstand how the picture of the recepi shows us a white bread. It is more like cornbread , the psyllium husk turns mostly every bread colered (but not purple!).
I am going to expirement with different pans but not with the recepe!
Enjoy
And to my surprise, the color is golden! The first keto bread, I have made, that isn't purple LOL.
I always calculate my recipes... this one winds up 5 net carbs per slice/190 calories/15g fat/7protein/12 slices per loaf, the way I made it... not sure if it was the type of cream cheese I used, or if these slices should just be paper thin!
It's in the oven now.. smells great, had risen beautifully (make sure to use fresh baking powder!) can't wait to taste!
Unfortunately there is not a good substitute for the psyllium in this recipe.
I live right at sea level and have found that most of my baking had to be adjusted in some form - wonder if it could be anyone else's issue?
Will make again
All of our recipes have a US/Metric toggle above the list of ingredients.
That depends on how many slices you cut! If you cut 8 slices, then yes, one slice is a serving. If you cut 16 slices then 2 slices is a serving.
I also added a grated a garlic clove, dash of cayenne and Trader Joe's onion salt to the cream cheese, will add even more next time.
As someone taking the trial membership, I am disappointed that this is all for a US audience and that UK subscribers are not accounted for - cilantro is not a name common in the UK, nor flaxseed nor many of the ingredients used in other recipes.
I have a failed trial of this recipe because the measures are wrong. I am not impressed.
For most ingredients, the grams:mililiter conversion is not going to be 1:1 as different ingredients have different densities.
I’m not quite clear on what you mean. Are you saying that a pound of lead and a pound of feathers aren’t the same weight?
Not at all; I am saying that a pound of lead and a pound of feathers will have drastically different volumes. 225ml is volume; 110g is weight; they are measuring different things. If you pour out the volume of 225ml, it should be approximately 110g on a scale that displays weight if you're using almond flour. If you're using feathers or nails or sand, they will be different weight for the same volume.
The other may have a more prosaic basis - on my kitchen scales, the weight of 100ml of water is 100g. They are clearly wrong. I shall never trust them again.
At least now I think I understand the thinking behind the recipes - which is definitely non-instinctive (and confusing) for a UK audience.
So sorry it didn't work out for you! It's possible that the batter may have been over mixed. Low-carb and keto recipes will never be the same as regular bread. We've got lots of options to choose from if you'd like to try other recipes! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/recipes/bread
