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
Add all the dry ingredients except salt to a mixing bowl for a stand mixer.
Stir
Add salt and stir again.
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.)
Use the paddle attachment and turn the mixer on to the lowest setting.
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)
Oil the counter and your hands and knead the dough for an additional 2-3 minutes until it’s nice and smooth.
Place in a 9×5 loaf tin and cover with seran/cling wrap and a towel. Let rise for 2 hours.
Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 45 minutes.
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.
