Keto Coconut Flour Bread#BreadBakers

In: Bread, Bread Bakers, Coconut Flour

Making Keto or gluten free breads is tricky and after a lot of trials one succeeds in making a perfect bread. The same was the case of this bread, made this three times, in the first attempt the bread recipe was not quite right after some tweaks made this again the second time the bread was good but I had not lined the tin and also used a small tin so the bread was perfect but overflowed and got stuck.

But I did not give up, made a third attempt and as you can see the bread was successful. The taste is too good and got baked perfectly.

In keto breads the bread rises beautifully but once cooled it does tend to sink a little so do not worry if that happens if you to try this bread. This gluten free and nut free too. Give it try and you will love this bread.

This gluten free and nut free bread is free from flaxseed meal, the coconut flour has no coconut aftertaste. So fluffy and soft that it reminds me of the regular store bought white bread. The yeast in this bread will not give the rise as a normal bread, added it for flavor only.

Ingredients
4 Large Eggs or 5 Small Eggs - separated
A Pinch Salt
½ Teaspoon Stevia or Powdered Erythritol
45 Grams Coconut Flour
25 Grams Psyllium Husk Powder - weigh it after you powder the psyllium husk
8 Grams Baking Powder
15 Ml Apple Cider Vinegar
15 Ml Keto Approved Oil
120 ML Warm Water
¼ Teaspoon Instant Yeast
1 Yolk For Egg Wash
1 Tablespoon Sesame seeds

Method

Sieve the coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, salt and baking powder.
In a bowl mix in the warm water, sugar and yeast, leave it aside.
Beat the egg white till light and soft peaks are formed. Add in the egg yolks two at a time and continue beating for a second or two then add the the other egg yolks beat till incorporated. Add in the sieved flour and beat it till the flour is just mixed then add in the apple cider vinegar and yeast mixture and beat till well combined.

Pour this into the loaf pan greased lined with parchment paper. Level it nicely and brush it with egg wash, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 55-65 minutes. Mine was done in 40 minutes.

Protein Sparing Tortillas With Egg White Protein Powder

In: Egg White Powder, Egg White Tortillas, Homemade

I have made PSMF Egg White Wraps using fresh egg whites ( recipe will be posted soon). These Egg Wraps are make with Egg White Protein Powder. Can use these for the gyros or as tortillas, lasagna sheets etc! They are so quick to make and also delicious! These freeze very well. I make a big batch and freeze them. When required just defrost and use.

Ingredients
550 grams Water Or Beef broth - I used water
80 Grams Gelatin - see notes
120 Grams Egg White Protein Powder
½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt

Method

In a blender jar add the water and sprinkle the gelatin over it and let is rest for a few minutes till it blooms for about 8 to 10 minutes. Then blend it well so that gets is mixed and well incorporated. Then add rest of the ingredients, purée until smooth and a bit frothy. Do not make the batter very frothy, it should just be mixed, even if there are lumps no worries they will smoothen when you make the wraps.

Heat a large 12 inch non-stick scan pan to medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil spray and dab it with a paper towel. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter all over the pan in and so it is a very thin crepe.

Once the batter has set and is almost cooked through, gently flip the crepe (I used my fingers but be careful to not burn yourself). Cook another 30-45 seconds. Make sure the crepes do not brown at all.

Remove from pan and repeat with remaining batter.
Nutrition
Carbohydrates: Zero

My Notes

Let the gelatin bloom or else it will no be incorporated well, when you make the wraps they will remain grainy. When you eat them you can feel the grains/crunchiness as you eat and you will not like the taste of it.

Eggless Brookies /Brownie Cookies#SundayFunday

In: Biscuits & Cookies, Brookies, Chocolate

Brownie+ Cookie = Brookies, yes that excatly what Brookies are... a combo of brownie plus cookie which divine..hmmm.. soft & chewy. If you are craving for rich brownie or cookies for your tea, then should make these brookies which are so satisfying. Prefect for a tea party.

These are so quick to make, if you have all ingredients in the pantry they just take from start to finish 20 to 25 minutes that's it.

Make these and give them as a gift whenever you visit your friends or relatives or take them for a picnic. They will never ever believe that they are homemade. So let's make these divine Brookies...

Makes: 12 Brookies
Ingredients
½ Cup All Purpose Flour
¼ Cup Dark Cocoa Powder
¼ Teaspoon Level Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Level Baking soda
⅓ Cup Sugar powder
¼ Cup Butter - softened
½ Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
2 Teaspoon Milk or a few drops more - to make a smooth dough.
¼ Cup + 1 Tablespoon Chocolate Chips

Method

Sieve the flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in the sugar. Mix well until combined.

In a big plate cream the butter with your palms for a minute then add vanilla essence and cream it till mixed. Add the flour mix and 1/4 cup chocolate chips, mix lightly with your fingers till it forms bread crumbs. Then add milk a teaspoon at a time and bring it together to form a smooth dough.
Place the dough on a cling flim and chill the dough in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.

In the meantime preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Take the dough out make even sized balls and place on the parchment paper, at least 2 inches apart from each other as the brookies will spread. Press the brookies with a fork lightly then place the remaining chocolate chips on it so they can be seen on top once baked.

Bake for 12 minutes only. Switch off the oven. The brookies will be soft or seem undone, but don’t bake longer or they will burn or turn crispy. Leave them in the oven for 5 minutes then take them out and keep them on the tray for another 10 minutes until fully cool and immediately transfer to an airtight container.

My Notes
I used just 2 teaspoons milk to make the dough since the butter used was absolutely soft, used the butter that is always out, kept my on the breakfast table.
To make them vegan, replace milk with almond or soy milk.
If you are using unsalted butter then add a pinch of salt.
