Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients for the bread, in a medium-sized bowl.
- Bring the water to a boil and remove from heat. Add the hot water, vinegar and egg whites to the dry ingredients, while whisking with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don't overmix the dough (the consistency should resemble Play-Doh).
- Moisten hands and form the dough into 10 pieces, and then roll into hot dog buns. Place on the baking sheet, leaving space between them, as they will double in size.
- Bake on lower rack for 40-50 minutes, remove from oven, and set aside to cool (they are done when you tap on the bottom of the bun, and hear a hollow sound). While the bread is baking, prepare the garlic butter.
- Mix all of the garlic butter ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover, and refrigerate.
- Remove the garlic butter from the fridge. Using a serrated knife, cut the cooled buns in half, and then spread the garlic butter on each half.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (225°C). Bake the garlic bread on the middle rack for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Why is my bread a purple color?
Did your bread end up with a slightly purple color? That can happen with some brands of psyllium husk. The taste won't change, but if you don't like the look you can try with another brand.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Gee quite a few of these recipes just don't work, but I am still trying
Hi Ann!
Unfortunately I don't think so but I haven't tried it. Please let us know how it worked out if you give it a go. Good luck!
No-one here knows what Psyllium is for or even IS! They've even told me it's dangerous as it's known to be a laxative.
Hi Analees!
Yes, you can, if you grind the almonds very finely. This can be done in a coffee or spice grinder. The meal should be finely ground when you're done.
Good luck!
Turn your oven up to 425°F (225°C) and bake the garlic bread for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Hi Samantha!
Exactly! You add the wet ingredients to the dry ones. Good luck!
However, when I came to make this 'garlic bread' the end results went in the bin.
All ingredients measured out perfectly and mixed up great, but it all went downhill from there!
The texture of the mixture really felt awful, like a kind of rubber goop..... but I formed it into roll shapes and popped them in the oven. I really didn't like the smell of the 'bread' cooking, and although the outside of the rolls looked tasty and bread like the insides were grey and still gooey. I cooked them for extra time but even so they still felt kinda wrong to me.
However the good news is that I had made the garlic butter in readiness, and I can use it on tonights veg!

Any serving size.
Thank you so much!
" it stayed gooey"
"gooey after 55 minutes in a 350°F
"outside of the rolls looked tasty and bread-like the insides were grey and still gooey"
My experience after 50 minutes at 350°F (175°C) was the same: Bread-like but gooey and grey so I put them back in the oven at 425°F (225°C) for 10-15 minutes and they were really crispy but still a slightly gooey interior.
I wonder if an increase in temperature to 425°F right from the start would help.
I really like the Soft Low-Carb Loaf of Bread so probably will not try this Keto Garlic Bread again.
One question I have though, how does everyone store these after they've been made?
Some brands of psyllium turn purple when baked - it doesn't affect the taste.
