Preparation Metho for Low Carb Bread

1.    Preheat oven to 200^oF when you begin making the bread. Turn oven off when you begin shaping the low carb bread. Use butter to grease the nonstick bread pans that you use or the cookie sheet if making free forms.

2.    Combine the hot and cold water in the bowl of electric mixer or a large mixing bowl. Add the oil. Stir in yeast. Leave for 5 minutes.

3.    Meanwhile, put the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir together. After 5 minutes, add the dry mixture to the liquid. Set the mixer to the lowest speed to knead the dough for 5 minutes. If the dry mixture is not fully absorbed, add a tablespoon of warm water to the dough. If the dough is too loose, in which case it won't turn into a ball or at least hang together, add a tablespoon of soy protein powder.

4.    Divide the dough in 2 or 4 equal portions. Shape into loaves. Put the loaves in the baking pan. Before you put the loaves in the pre-warmed oven, open the oven for about 30 seconds. Let the loaves rise for about 60-75 minutes.

5. After the low carb breads have risen, set oven temperature to 350^oF (do no remove breads). Bake the loaves for 30 minutes for small loaves or until done and for 40-45 minutes for large loaves. The crust should be crisp, light brown, and feel hollow to the touch. Wait for the bread to cool completely before slicing.

6.    Freeze extra loaves. Thaw loaves at room temperature before serving your low carb bread.
