    Once baked, should the loaf remain in the pan to cool? Or, remove immediately to a cooling rack? I will use parchment paper to bake this loaf. In the past, some breads tend to flatten quickly if removed too soon, OR, if left in the pan, they become moist on the bottom /sides.
    Clarification please.

    Guys,

    Again with loads of recipes, how can the ml to g conversion be less or more than 1:1?? Impossible to follow the recipes not knowing which one is correct!

    @steve
    ml = measure of volume
    mg = measure of weight
    They aren't necessarily the same, in fact only water has exactly the same values for ml and mg...

    As oats are a grain is there another fibre/flour you can substitute?

    Oat fiber is not part of the oat/groat itself. It is the completely insoluble outer husk and is not digested at all.

    Why baking powder instead of yeast? Just the convenience factor?

    Unfortunately there is not a good substitute for the oat fiber in this recipe.

    What kind of grated cheese?

    You can use mozzarella as it is a mild tasting cheese that melts well.

    Would this recipe work without the psyllium husk powder?

    Would this recipe work without the psyllium husk powder?

    Probably not; the psyllium gives a flexibility and good texture to baked goods.

    What a tasty alternative to all the almond flour based goods!!! They are yummy too. But I get tired of the same texture and flavour. This bread is lighter and softer and delicious warmed and topped with avocado. It will be a keeper and on regular rotation here. Thanks for this recipe!

    I've tried this recipe twice now, once using metric measures and the second time today using US measures I've been extremely careful with measures and followed to the letter. Both times the mixture has come out like BATTER not DOUGH, it rises in the oven but as soon as you take it out it sinks! When it's cooled and you slice it , the bread is till wet in the middle. I tried cooking for longer the 2nd time around. This recipe as it stands would never make a dough as long as I have breath in my body, I'm extremely disappointed 😢

    Does it have an intense egg taste?

    After seeing Frances' comment I wonder how often bakers are successful and what it takes to be successful. Thanks.

    Do you melt the cheese before adding it to the eggs? Or just add in the shredded cheese?

    You can just add in the shredded cheese.

    Love it! Best bread recipe so far!
    I follow the instructions 100%, it was not wet inside, not cheesy, was just perfect!

    Good to know that can be frozen.

    First time making any bread let alone a Keto bread and it came out perfect !! Was looking for a low carb recipe and thought it would be interesting to incorporate the cheeses to make a bread. I followed the recipe 100%. Only items i had to pre order were the Oat fiber and the psyllium. It shrunk just a tad bit while cooling but held together well. I topped only with sesame seeds as that was on hand. Toasts well and really good with butter / cream cheese. It really was quite easy to follow and the results are great.

    My question is : is the Nutrition for (1) bread loaf or for (1) slice - please clarify... If what is provided on the site and is for (1) loaf then - Ive died and gone to heaven

    I can't find oat fiber anywhere. Is there another name for it in Australia?

    Oat fiber can be harder to find in Australia, but you may be able to find it online. If you can find potato fiber, you may be able to use that instead. I know it is more readily available in Europe, but I am not sure about Australia.

    I’m in Australia and can’t buy Oat fibre . Can I substitute it with flaxseed instead?

    You can try it, but this recipe has not been tested with it and the taste and texture will not be the same.

    Many of the bread recipes on DD do not have storing instructions. If there are none can I assume - Fridge for 3-5 days, freezer for 3-6 months - is the norm? Thank you

    I love bread very much, after I started gluten free meals, I missed bread so much. I tried to make this recipe yesterday, and found that the taste is good and looks like a real bread. I tried many GF bread recipes, this one is the most tasty. Thank you .

    Hi - I am making this bread today for the first time, so I read all the comments and noticed that the very first comment/question was never answered. Cool completely in the loaf tin or on a cooling rack? Thanks for answering!

    Since the tin is covered in parchment paper, it’s fine to remove it from the tin right away and let it cool on a rack. If you keep it in the tin it can get a bit wet as it cools down.

    I made this bread yesterday. The taste was great (I used French Comté cheese since I live in France.) However the batter was runny and the loaf deflated. I wonder if this is because of the eggs. We don't have the same sizes for eggs in France, so I usually use 1/4 cup egg for each egg in your recipes. Normally works great. Do you know if this is a correct measure? Otherwise when I make it again I was thinking of adding a few tablespoons of almond flour. Can't wait to have a slice this morning with a slice of ham. Thanks a lot, merci beaucoup.
