Low Carb Gluten Free Coconut Flour Garlic Rosemary Bread – #BreadBakers

This month’s Bread Bakers host Stacy wanted us to bake gluten free breads. As I am on low carb, gluten free diet, it was time I made a bread for myself. Usually rice flour and millet flour are used as gluten free flours, but in a low carb diet, these are out of our list. So we need to use either almond flour or coconut flour.

The group I am part of doesn’t encourage us in using almond flour in recipes. Almonds need to be consumed as it is and no other ingredient is combined along with almonds. So I usually use coconut flour in recipes. Coconut flour is a highly absorbent flour and while it is used as a substitute for flour, you need only 1/3 part of it. That is if one cup of flour is used in a recipe, then you need only 1/3 cup of coconut flour instead. And the best binding for coconut flour is egg.

Many of you will surely ask for egg free options, but I haven’t experimented on egg free recipes in low carb diet. As I am fine with the addition of eggs, I didn’t get any chance for experimenting. So if you need an egg free recipe, you need to start experimenting. Making a savoury bread has been in my to do list for long, but as I mentioned earlier, I make any recipe only if the need arises. Otherwise I stick to a very basic simple diet. Today’s bread is so flavourful with garlic, rosemary and onion flakes in the batter.  Serve it with some delicious garlic butter, I am sure you would love it. I used garlic powder and onion flakes to make it easier, but if you don’t have then, then mince fresh onion and garlic and use them instead. It would be really full of flavour. The bread is dense but absolutely yum. I loved it with the garlic butter.

Baking Powder – 1/2 tsp
