Keto Bread - Non-eggy & Highly Recommended
I just started ketogenic diet not too long ago. 1.5 months to be exact. That said, I wasn't very disciplined and went on little "cheat days" so very often, like every 3 days of keto diet and a day of cheat especially when I am on business trip or lunch with colleagues at work. Then guilt will come over me and I will start again.
Nevertheless, I must say that being on this diet has kept me full most of the time and no cravings whatsoever. In fact, I feel less lethargic and have sort of a bounce in my steps. Tummy wise, it looked like it had shrunk and the bloated feeling that I used to have so often has been gone. Even when I am on this on and off, I lost 2kg in the last 1.5 months. That is quite a feat to me as I can now fit into dresses which I used to wear before being pregnant with John.
The only thing that I do felt a little temptation for is... bread. I tried a few recipes including cloud bread and some low carb recipes online. None has met my expectations of a bread. Either they are too eggy, too dense or way too bland. Until I figured out something on my own!
This bread is not only keto friendly, it does not have the eggy taste and is soft and fluffy. Unfortunately I reckoned that in keto, you can't have the soft pull apart strands of a normal bread. Hence, I would say this bread is more like a light nutty loaf cake with a tint of sweetness in it.
Try it and let me know what you think.
