Everyday Low Carb Bread
Description
This Everyday Low Carb Bread recipe uses quark or Greek yogurt combined with eggs, almond and coconut flours, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Psyllium husks and chia seeds add fiber and help bind the loaf, contributing to structure and moisture retention. Optional sunflower seeds provide a nutty crunch on top or in the dough.
The dough rests for 15 minutes before baking at 170°C (340°F), allowing the psyllium and chia to absorb liquid and thicken. Baking for about 45 minutes completes the loaf with a lightly browned crust and moist crumb. The small loaf pan size suits denser breads that are more satiating compared to wheat bread.
This bread is suitable for those following low-carb diets and offers an alternative to traditional wheat bread. It is filling enough that 1 to 2 slices can suffice per serving. Seeds can be substituted or omitted without affecting the bread's essential texture.
Quark is a German soft cheese similar to Greek yogurt, and either works in this recipe. Use a small loaf tin around 450 ml volume to match the recipe proportions.
Ingredients
- 250 g / 1 cup quark (use Greek yoghurt as an alternative)
- 3 egg
- 1 cup / 100g almond flour or ground almonds, or almond meal
- 2 tbsp / 12g coconut flour
- 3 tbsp / 18g psyllium husks 1 ½ tablespoon if using psyllium husk powder)
- 3 tbsp / 30g chia seeds
- ½ tbsp / 6g baking powder
- ½ tsp / large pinch salt
- 2 tbsp / 15g sunflower seeds optional
Instructions
- Line a small loaf tin (450ml capacity) with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the eggs and quark with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add the almond flour/ground almonds, coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until fully combined.
- Last, add the chia seeds and psyllium husks. Add the sunflower seeds if you're using them.
- Fill the dough into the loaf tin and let it rest for 15 minutes so the psyllium and the chia can absorb the liquid. Sprinkle sunflower seeds on the top.
- Preheat the oven to 170 Celsius / 340 Fahrenheit.
- Bake for around 45 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Substitute quark with Greek yogurt if quark is unavailable.
- Use a small loaf tin (about 18 x 9 cm, 450ml volume) for best results.
- Sunflower seeds on top are optional and can be replaced with sesame or pumpkin seeds if preferred.
- Nutrition calculations are based on 12 slices; 1-2 slices are a filling serving.
