Low-Carb Tortillas

Tortilla bread is so delicious and the options are endless. These low-carbfriendly tortilla breads are ridiculously easy to make.
Strict low carb Easy 5 + 10 m

Ingredients

2 servings ?
2 eggs
2 egg whites
6 oz. (170 g) full-fat cream cheese
12 teaspoon psyllium husk
1 tablespoon coconut flour
teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

2. Whisk the eggs and egg whites fluffy and continue to whisk with a hand
mixer, preferably for a few minutes. Add cream cheese and continue to
whisk until the batter is smooth.
3. Mix salt, psyllium husk and coconut flour in a small bowl. Add the flour
mix one spoon at a time into the batter and continue to whisk some more.
Let the batter sit for a few minutes, or until the batter is thick like an
American pancake batter. How fast the batter will swell depends on the
brand of psyllium husk some trial and error might be needed.
4. Bring out two baking sheets and place parchment paper on each. Using a
spatula, spread the batter thinly (no more than inch thick) into 46
circles or 2 rectangles.
5. Bake on upper rack for about 5 minutes or more, until the tortilla turns a
little brown around the edges. Carefully check the bottom side so that it
doesnt burn.
6. Serve with a filling of your choice, for example tex-mex ground beef and
salsa.
Tips! If you have plenty of egg whites, you can use egg whites only, for this
recipe 5 egg whites would be appropriate.

Tortilla bread also works very well as a thin pizza bottom. Add unsweetened
spaghetti sauce, red tomato pesto or tomato paste, sprinkle shredded mozzarella
cheese, a little oregano and add what you like, for example salami and olives. Or
follow this recipe.

oil, melted
2 cups (500 ml) boiling water

4 oz. (100 g) butter
12 garlic cloves, freshly squeezed

Instructions

thoroughly.
2. Allow to rise for five minutes. The dough will turn firm fairly quickly, but
stay flexible. It should resemble the consistency of Play-Doh. If you find
its too runny then add more psyllium husk until it feels right. The amount
needed may vary depending on what brand of husk or coconut flour you
use.
3. Divide into 6 or 8 pieces and form into balls that you flatten with your
hands directly on parchment paper or on the kitchen counter.
4. Fry carefully in oil in a frying pan until they turn a nice color and have
risen enough.
5. Heat the oven to 140F (70C) and keep the bread warm while you make
more.
6. Melt the butter and stir in the freshly squeezed garlic. Apply the melted
butter on the bread pieces using a brush and sprinkle flaked salt on top.
7. Pour the rest of the garlic butter in a bowl and dip pieces of bread in it.

Oopsie Bread

Oopsies is another good low-carb bread option. Its a bread without carbs and
can be eaten in a variety of ways.
Strict low carb Medium 5 + 25 m

Ingredients

6 servings ?
3 eggs
3 oz. (100 g) cream cheese
A pinch of salt
tablespoon psyllium seed
husks (optional)
teaspoon baking powder
(optional)

Instructions

1. Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in
another.
2. Whip egg whites together with salt until very stiff. You should be able to
turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
3. Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you want, add the psyllium
seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).
4. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix try to keep the air in the
egg whites.
5. Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
6. Bake in the middle of the oven at 150 C (300 F) for about 25 minutes
until they turn golden.

Tip! You can have an Oopsie as a sandwich or use it as a bun for a hotdog or
hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking
them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used
to make a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries.
Enjoy.

Amazing Bread

http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/amazing-bread/

3 cup blanched almond flour (10 oz)
10 TBS psyllium husk powder (no substitutes) (90 grams) (must be a fine
powder, measure weight to be sure) (I use Jay Robb whole husk psyllium ground
in a blender until half its origonal volume, other psyllium may not have the same
results)
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp Celtic sea salt
5 TBS apple cider vinegar (2 oz)
6 egg whites (7 oz)
1 1/2 cup BOILING water (12 oz)

NOTE: Make sure to weigh your ingredients to ensure it rises properly and
doesnt get hallow and gummy. Also, if you do weigh and grind your psyllium
and still have a problem, try grinding the psyllium again. We have a batch of
psyllium that we ground and didnt work. Stay really wet. So we ground it again
and it works great! Also, if your loaf looks nice and big but then deflates after
removed from the oven, try reducing the baking powder to 3 teaspoons.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour,
psyllium powder (no substitutes: flaxseed meal wont work), baking powder and
salt. Mix until dry ingredients are well combined. Add in the eggs and vinegar
and mix until a thick dough. Add boiling water into the bowl. Mix until well
combined and dough firms up.

Form into a loaf and place into a greased bread pan (I used an 8X4 inch pan).
Bake for 60-75 minutes. It should be somewhat firm to the touch and have a nice
brown crust. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely.
Makes 10 servings (2 slices per serving)
