1 Net Carb Bread Recipe

Instructions

Step 1.

First, put all the ingredients on the countertop because we will use them all in a row.

Tip: It is important that the egg sits at room temperature.

Bring a medium mixing bowl.

Crack the egg and separate the yolk from the white.

Put the egg white into the medium bowl.

Recommendation: For foaming the egg, not a drop of yolk should leak into it. Therefore, be careful to do this separation process very carefully.

Now bring a small bowl and put the egg yolk in this bowl.

Put 1/4 tbsp of baking soda into the egg white and start whisking with a hand mixer.

Key point: There is a very important key point in this step. Keep mixing the egg white for quite a long time. By the end of the process, the egg white should look just like foam. See an image:

Tip: So, how can you know whether the egg white that you have mixed and brought into a foam has reached the desired consistency? For this, turn the mixed egg white upside down with the bowl. If the foamy white is not flowing out of the bowl, you have reached the right consistency.

Step 2.

To move on to the next step, we will use the egg yolk that you took in the small bowl.

Put 1 full tsp of Labneh cheese into the yolk in the bowl.

Then mash the cheese and mix the egg yolk and cheese together.

Tip: Is labneh cheese hard to find for you? No worry. You can use curd cheese or strained plain Greek yogurt instead. You can use the same measurement.

Step 3.

Combine the cheesy yolk with the egg white to continue.

Slowly pour the egg yolk over the white.

Key point: Another key point is the way of mixing these two products. Mix completely carefully and with a spatula by folding it from bottom to top. So the foam egg white does not deflate.

Tip: We love this bread just the way it is, but if you’re a spice lover, you can add any spice you want right at this step. You can use chili flakes, thyme, paprika, black pepper, or all together.

Tip: This mixing step is the perfect stage to serve the bread to your own taste. At this point, you can use different fatty cheeses if you wish. This makes your bread quite cheesy.

Step 4.

Begin preheating your oven to 250 C degrees.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Then divide the mortar into 3 equal parts.

Put one (full) tablespoon of mortar on the parchment paper, leaving a space between them.

At the end of the process, you will get 3 pieces of bread.

Tip: If you do not want to make the bread in this mini size, you can divide the dough into two and get 2 medium-sized bread.

Step 5.

Shape the bread by smoothing them with the back of a spoon without applying too much pressure on the dough.

Recommendation: Be careful when shaping because the bread will bake the way you shape them.

Sprinkle any amount of black cumin on them.

Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: At this point, you can skip the black cumin altogether and leave your bread, empty or sprinkle them with sesame, oats, or other grains. But just remember that such ingredients (except black cumin) can increase the carbohydrate value of bread.
