A low carb loaf that looks and tastes like real deal! This vital wheat gluten bread is super easy to make!

Ingredients

• 240g vital wheat gluten
• 280g almond flour (fine)
• 50g inulin
• 2 1/2 tsp instant yeast
• 320ml warm water
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil + extra for kneading

Instructions

1. Add all the dry ingredients except salt to a mixing bowl for a stand mixer.
2. Stir
3. Add salt and stir again.
4. Pour in the water and olive oil. (If you are using traditional yeast – proof the yeast in this water with a tsp sugar 15 minutes prior to this step.)
5. Use the paddle attachment and turn the mixer on to the lowest setting.
6. Mix for 5-10 minutes, checking consistency of dough frequently. When the dough is stretchy, has some resistance and doesn’t break – that is when you can stop)
7. Oil the counter and your hands and knead the dough for an additional 2-3 minutes until it’s nice and smooth.
8. Place in a 9×5 loaf tin and cover with seran/cling wrap and a towel. Let rise for 2 hours.
9. Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 45 minutes.
10. Let cool, slice and enjoy!

Notes

If you’re having issues kneading by hand and it keeps tearing – let the dough sit for 5 minutes and add a tsp of water.

This makes around 25 slices.
