1 Net Carb Bread Recipe

Instructions

1. First, place all the ingredients on the countertop because we will use them sequentially. Tip: Ensure the egg is at room temperature.
2. Bring a medium mixing bowl.
3. Crack the egg and separate the yolk from the white.
   Transfer the egg white into the medium bowl. Recommendation: To ensure proper foaming of the egg, no yolk should contaminate the white. Exercise caution during this separation process.
4. Next, take a small bowl and place the egg yolk in it.
5. Add 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda to the egg white and start whisking with a hand mixer. Key point: It's crucial to whisk the egg white for an extended period. By the end, the egg white should resemble foam. See the image:
   Tip: To test if the whipped egg white has reached the desired consistency, invert the bowl. If the foam doesn't pour out, it's correctly done.
6. Use the egg yolk set aside in the small bowl for the next step.
7. Add 1 full teaspoon of Labneh cheese to the yolk.
8. Mash the cheese and mix it thoroughly with the egg yolk. Tip: If Labneh cheese is unavailable, substitute it with curd cheese or strained plain Greek yogurt, using the same quantity.
9. Gently combine the cheesy yolk with the whipped egg white
10. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the white carefully
11. Key point: The critical aspect of this step is the method of combining. Mix gently and thoroughly with a spatula, folding from the bottom up to prevent the egg white from deflating Tip: If you enjoy spices, now is the time to add any of your choice, such as chili flakes, thyme, paprika, or black pepper. This stage is ideal for tailoring the bread to your taste. Consider adding different fatty cheeses for a cheesier bread.
12. Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F).
13. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
14. Divide the mixture into three equal portions.
15. Place one full tablespoon of the mixture on the parchment, spacing them apart.
16. This will yield three pieces of bread. Tip: For larger bread, divide the dough into two for two medium-sized loaves.
17. Shape the bread gently with the back of a spoon, avoiding excessive pressure. Recommendation: Shape carefully as the bread will bake in the form you set.
18. Sprinkle black cumin seeds to taste.
19. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Tip: You may omit black cumin and opt for sesame, oats, or other grains instead, though these may increase the bread's carbohydrate content.
