Keto Bread


This is the perfect healthy substitute for bread. It has a crispy crust on the outside and a soft centre. You can serve it warm straight out of the oven with butter, use it as bread buns for burgers or sandwiches, or even have it toasted. Not to mention it is packed with fibre! Who knew psyllium husk (the word i'm sure we all can't pronounce) has so much fibre.

With this recipe you can make 6 smaller buns or 3-4 larger buns. You could also try to bake it as a loaf if you wish (it will just take a little longer to bake).

Ingredients

150g of almond meal
5 tablespoons of ground psyllium husk
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
225ml of boiling water
3 egg whites
Sesame seeds to sprinkle on top (optional)

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 175℃.

2. Mix all the dry ingredients (except the sesame seeds) together in a large bowl.

3. Bring the water to the boil (in the jug) and add it to the dry mixture along with the vinegar and egg whites, while beating with an electric hand mixer. Only beat the mixture for about 30 seconds, do not over mix the dough, it should be still quite wet but airy.

4. Grease a baking tray.

5. Wet your hands and roll small amounts into balls and slightly flatten into bun shapes on the baking tray (it should make 6 smaller buns).

6. Place on the lower rack in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. You know they are done when you hear a hollow sound when you tap the bottom of the bun.

7. Serve how you wish! You can also freeze the buns so they keep for longer.



Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
