I love bread. This diet has been difficult merely because of this fact. I figured, I should really spend some time experimenting with low carb bread in order to feel like I’m not depriving myself and thus, stay on track for longer. So, I did. I found a great recipe that I ended up adapting into crispy crackers. As always, thank me by checking out my music! :)

Ingredients

1¼ cups (300 ml) almond flour

5 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (I used Metamucil)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1¼ cups (300 ml) boiling water

3 egg whites

Garlic powder

Dried Basil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Bring the water to a boil (kettle is easiest) and add the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while whisking with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Don’t overmix the dough, the consistency should resemble Play-Doh. Form with greased hands into 2 pieces of bread. Lay a large piece of parchment paper down, put the dough on it, lay another piece of large parchment paper on top Grab your rolling pin and roll out the dough until it is very thin Remove top layer parchment paper. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried basil, and sea salt on top of the dough — as much as you want on it Lift dough by lifting the parchment paper and place on top of a pizza baking pan Bake on top rack in oven for about 20 minutes. Be careful, keep an eye on it, you don’t want to toast it now. It should come out of the oven soft, but fully cooked. Remove it from the oven, let cool, then cut into desired pieces with a pizza cutter. Repeat steps for the second ball of dough

Tip: you can store pieces in a ziplock bag in the fridge or freezer. When you’re ready to eat it, lay it on a non stick pan and toast it in the oven to desired crispiness. It’s excellent for dipping!

Macros

Keep in mind this is for the entire batch. To find the exact amount for each piece you made, take the totals and divide it by how many pieces you cut your batches into. ie. if you cut everything into a total of 48 pieces = 20.75 cal, .4g net carbs, etc
