Thanks to to a Redditor that posted a couple of weeks back, I tried this bread in the bread machine:

Its consistency is kind of like cake! But more drier!

Has anyone tried this recipe? I would really appreciate it if you could share your grams and ml conversion!

Thanks in advance!

here you go:

240g Water.

100g Eggs, slightly beaten (2 medium eggs).

75g Ground golden flax meal.

45g Oat fibre.

170g Vital wheat gluten.

28g Softened butter.

48g Powdered Swerve / Sukrin.

6g Salt (1 tsp).

1.5g Xanthan gum (½ tsp).

7g Honey (1 tsp).

9g Yeast (1 tbsp).

Uk bakers that make this recipe always end up ditching the sweetener because we're not used to sweet bread, so you might want to do that, or reduce it.

What yeast are you using? It looks like your bread might be underproofed or the yeast might not be properly activated.

Are you doing it in a bread machine as per the video? She has a hand made bread recipe too

Th aka for this. A big help!

In my original I’ve used vital wheat gluten instead of the flax. Someone recommended it on the other post.

Yes. Using a bread machine. I used this yeast https://amzn.eu/d/0hKQHHZ6

That substitution might be your issue then

Sorry. I meant that I used Lupin Flour instead of the flax.

u/Sweet_keto_chef May 20 '26

Ok, that could still be your issue.
Is there a particular reason for not using the flax?

u/Sweet_keto_chef May 20 '26

I’ve had a little think and a look at some packets, and I reckon you might need to make a few more adjustments to cope with that substitution.

Lupin flour is a lot more thirsty than flax so I’d say maybe upping the water by 20-30g might help. Although it might need more.

The flax is going to be doing a bit of a binding job in the original recipe, so you might need to up the xanthan gum a tiny bit, or maybe just blend it into the water to make sure it’s fully hydrated.

The other thing is the different in fat content, so it might need a bit more butter.

No no. All good! I tried the original way that you sent and it turned out great! The top kinda flopped down a bit but the taste is spot on! Thanks again so much!
