Made this for the first time today. The delicious smell got the vultures circling before the loaves were out of the oven - I had to fight for the crust - but it's again a diabetic success as well as a culinary one, blood glucose has stayed in non-diabetic range : )

2.25 cups vital wheat gluten (get it from www.flourbin.co.uk) 1.5 cups oat bran (Holland and Barrett) 1 cup ground almonds 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder 1 cup ground walnuts (grind yourself in food processor, or more gorudn almonds, or use ground seeds) 3 Tb flaxseeds 4 envelopes easy-blend yeast 3 Tb walnut oil 1 Tb salt - add a bit more if you like 3 eggs 1.5 cups double cream 1.5 cups warmish water
Mix dry ingredients, then add liquids, including eggs and oil. Mix - it's too wet to knead, more like cake mix, but a dough hook in a mixmaster will do it if you have one - until well blended. It will be very sloppy. Oil two 2 lb loaf tins thoroughly. divide mixture between them Let rise in tins in a warmish place for around 1.5 hours, till dough crests top of tins (don't cover with clingwrap for this reason - I use an upturned plastic box. Bake at 200 C for 20 minutes, then lower temp to 180 and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Rest intins for 10 minutes after baking, then cool on racks.
Hi, I reposted this plus all my other lowcarb recipes below under a heading about substitutes.

My yeast says it is 'active dry yeast' I have also seen 'rapid rise' yeast in the store. Is one of those the same as easy-blend yeast? what is double cream?

You need the kind of yeast you use in a breadmaker - or I guess you could activate the yeast first. Double cream is just a bit thicker than half-and-half.

US whipping cream is closest. Active dry yeast is fine.
