I am so happy - this is fantastic, it's real bread, like a whole wheat bread and has only 1 net carb per slice.
This is the result of quite a bit of experimentation (some of it producing truly yucky results!), because my DH has been longing for an occasional sandwich and I am really, really pleased with the result. It's proper bread, tastes great, slices well and holds up very easily to having a filling when used in sandwiches.
Best of all it only takes minutes to make!!
NOT induction friendly - you need to be on the nut rung of OWL. I didn't add any sweetener, cos I don't like sweet bread, but I imagine you could add some stevia or splenda if you wanted to.
2 oz ground almonds (aka almond flour)
1 oz flaxmeal
6 tablepoons wheat bran
.5 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
.25 teaspoon baking powder
.5 teaspoon salt
2 medium eggs
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon full fat yogurt
water
.25 teaspoon vinegar
Mix all the dry ingredients together well in a bowl.
Beat eggs and yogurt together with oil in a cup. Add water - a little more than half amount of water in volume as you have in the egg mix. Add the vinegar and mix through. Add the egg/water mixture into the dry indgredients and beat together with a spoon. You end up with quite a sloppy mixture.
Scrape into an uncovered microwave proof container and flatten into it well so that there is no trapped air. I used a round plastic container about 5" in diameter and 3" deep, with straight edges. It needs to have quite high edges as the bread rises considerably.
Put into the microwave on high for 5 mins. Microwaves vary - the top of the bread should be dry.
It looks sort of grey/pale brown and, to be honest, not especially appetising when its done! It tastes fine this way, but I popped it in a medium-hot oven (after removing it from the plastic container, with great care cos its very hot!) for about 10 mins until it was lightly browned all over to give it a good crust.
Not sure how it keeps and freezes yet, but will test that over the next few days.

I'm definitely going to try it sometime soon! I need to ring the changes from flax crackers now and again!
