Whole Wheat Rolls
Whole wheat rolls are a great addition to any meal, providing a hearty and nutty flavor while being more nutritious than traditional white bread rolls. Here’s a simple recipe for making whole wheat rolls that are both delicious and healthier.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F or 45°C)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the honey (or maple syrup) in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until frothy. If the mixture doesn’t foam, the yeast may be inactive, and you should start over with fresh yeast.
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the well. Add the egg and mix until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.
First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1½ hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it onto a floured surface and divide it into 12-15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have puffed up and are touching each other.
Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. They’re delicious warm and can be served with butter or used for sandwiches.

Preheat oven to 350 and spray the loaf pan with non-stick spray. Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk till smooth. Spread into the bottom of the loaf pan. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and finish cooling.
This makes a loaf about 1 inch high and the slices look like biscotti. The bread is a little dry, but good for making French toast, and toasted with a lot of butter. You can add basil or other herbs instead of the sweetener and cinnamon
Cheese garlic biscuits

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together. The dough will be almost like cookie dough. Drop by tablespoonful onto a greased baking tray. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly golden. Makes 18, 2.1 carbs each
I halved the recipe. These were good, a bit dry like biscuits normally are. We ate them with butter and enjoyed them.
Faux Pasta
Notation: Serves 2 at 4 carbs, 2 net carbs)
Ingredients:
1 pinch salt
1/2 cupful soy protein isolate
2 tablespoonfuls vital wheat gluten*
1 tablespoonful of soy flour
1 egg
1/4 cupful water
Mix the first 4 ingredients; add egg and water and mix to get a bread-type dough. Add more water if needed. Roll out and cut into strips, or pinch off into little pieces. Drop into boiling water and let boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Not too long or it will get gummy. Drain and top with sauce.
*The vital wheat gluten I use, Hodgson mill has 2 carbs and 1g fiber per tablespoonful. This was amazingly good. I used about 1/2 cupful of water, and the dough was a bit too sticky to roll out. I did not want to add any extra flour, so I pressed with my hands till it was as flat as I could get it, then cut it into strips.
A lot of the strips fell apart, but I just dumped it all into the boiling water and boiled for 2 minutes, stirring most of the time. There is very little taste, just like real pasta, but this has a great texture.
Wheat Like Crackers
Notation: Total: 34 carbs, 21 net carbs
Makes 60 at 0.4 carbs
Ingredients:
1 cupful whey protein powder
1/3 cupful oat flour
1/4 cupful wheat bran
1 egg
1 3/4 cupfuls water
1 teaspoonful salt
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients. Should be a thick but spreadable batter. Spray the 11x14x1 baking tray well with cooking spray. Pour and spread the batter onto the pan. Sprinkle with salt. Bake for 25 minutes. The batter should be “set”.
Remove from oven and use a knife or pizza cutter to “score” into whatever size crackers you want. Bake for about another 15 to 20 minutes till crispy and golden.
These were the nearest to Wheat Thins I have tried. I believe they are a little dry, but with dip or peanut butter, they are very good.
Garlic Cheese Faux-Cacia
Notation: makes 6 at 1.5 carbs each
Ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cupful whey protein powder
3 heavy shakes of garlic powder
1 tablespoonful oil
1/4 cupful of heavy cream
give a few shakes of oregano
1/2 teaspoonful of butter extract
1-ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoonful of baking powder
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together. Add a little water if needed to thin. Spray the baking tray, and drop the dough into 6 blobs, they will flatten a lot and may run together. Bake for 10 minutes till golden.
These are cheesy and garlicky. Somebody can make these by putting all the dough in a circle on a pizza stone, oiling the top, and adding extra oil and cheese on top when done. This may need to be baked a little longer.
Monkey bread recipe
Take note: Measure accurately.
Gluten yeast bread can only rise one time so don’t let it rise in the dough cycle. The dough will be sticky. You can’t shape it like a regular loaf. For best results, the loaf pan must be buttered and non-stick.
Your carb count will change somewhat depending on the whey protein you use. The one in this recipe has 0.5 per 31 g., 3/8 cup. A low carb high protein wheat bread recipe.

Ingredients:
3 eggs, room temperature, separated
1/4 teaspoonful cream of tartar
3 tablespoonfuls ricotta cheese
1 tablespoonful of soy flour
1 tablespoonful of vital wheat gluten
3 tablespoonfuls wheat bran
2 tablespoonfuls flax meal
1 teaspoonful of baking powder
2 – 3 tablespoonfuls water

– Mix yolks, ricotta, soy flour, vital wheat gluten, bran, and flax meal. Add a couple of tablespoonfuls of water to “lighten” the batter a bit, then stir in baking powder.
– Beat egg whites till stiff, then mildly and quickly fold in the yolk mixture. Do not worry if there are a couple of streaks of white, you do not want to break up the fluffy whites and wind up with runny batter.
– Make 6 buns by mounding spoonfuls of the mixture on top of each other on a greased baking sheet. Slices make for low-carbohydrate hamburgers buns
– Put in a hot oven; now cut back heat to 300 F. Bake for 20 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 250 F and bake for another 20 minutes. Buns should be glossy, golden, and firm to the touch.

Rye crisp bread recipe
Ingredients:
5 teaspoonfuls Yeast, Rapid Rise
2 teaspoonfuls of sugar — for the yeast
2 1/4 cupfuls warm water — 110 to 115F maximum
2 tablespoonfuls extra virgin olive oil, can use safflower oil or canola oil or grapeseed oil
2 cupfuls gluten, Vital Wheat, Millstream
1 cupful Rye Flour, Dark 100%, Rogers
1 1/3 cupfuls soy flour, Bob’s Red Mill Stoneground
1/2 cupful Flax Seed Meal, Bob’s Red Mill
1/2 cupful Wheat Bran Crude
1 Teaspoonful of sea salt
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Place the sugar and water into the bottom of your bread machine pan, and stir together. Add the oil. Pour the dry ingredients into the pan, load in the pan, and run on the Dough cycle.
When kneaded and risen, 1.5 hours maximum, put the dough onto a lightly floured (Atkins Bake Mix or oat flour, 2 tablespoonfuls) board, cut in half, and knead and roll the halves each lightly into a loaf shape, place in oil-sprayed loaf pans.
Lightly spray the tops, I use an olive oil pump, can use pan spray, and put a sheet of waxed paper over the top; allow to rise for another 30 minutes or so in a warmish, draft-free spot.
Preheat oven to 350F. Bake for about 35 minutes or until an internal temperature of 190F. Lay pans on their sides to cool for 15 or 20 minutes at least; then finish cooling on a wire rack, also on their sides. Best sliced when very cool. Best kept refrigerated or frozen.
Savory Spongy Loaf Bread recipe
Ingredients:
2 cupfuls warm water
1 package. active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoonful sugar
1/2 teaspoonful salt
2 tablespoonfuls Olive oil
1 tablespoonful of lemon or lime juice.
1 cupful whey protein powder (natural flavor)
1 cupful vital wheat gluten (70% protein, I used Bob’s, Red Mill)
1/3 cupful of flax meal
1/3 cupful psyllium husks (replace with flax, if allergic)
1/3 cupful almond meal
1/3 cupful wheat bran
3 tablespoonfuls Splenda
1 1/2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder
3 tablespoonfuls whipping cream
1 egg
Place the warm water in a large bowl and add the yeast, sugar, salt, and lemon or lime juice. Place in a warm oven, 100 to 150°F, till the yeast begins to foam.
Mix the whey protein, wheat gluten, flax meal, psyllium husks, almond meal, wheat bran, and baking powder. Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture then the dry ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon until smooth.
You will be using a 5-x 9-x 3-inch nonstick loaf pan for the next process. If your pan is 5 inches high instead of 3 inches, you will not have to do this. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil that is 36 inches long. Fold the strip in half longways.
Make a collar by wrapping it loosely around the pan, 1 inch below the rim. Gently but firmly press the foil around the sides pan, making a point that it is secure. Straighten out the foil so it sticks straight up and brush the inside of the foil with oil. What you’re doing is making the pan higher so the dough will not escape from the pan.
Place 3/4 of the mixture into the readied pan. The pan should be 1/4 full. Beat the cream and egg into the remaining 1/4 of the mixture. Place the two mixtures in the warm oven, 100 to 150°F, for one hour.
The mixture in the loaf pan should be at least threefold in size by this time. Take the cream and egg mixture and spread it gently and equally over the top of the mixture in the bread pan. The bread will sink a trifle, and this is fine.
The egg and cream mixture keeps the air from escaping while baking which will cause the bread to fall. Return to the oven, 100 to 150°F, and let rise once more for about one hour. With the bread still in the oven, turn the temperature up to 375°F and bake the bread for 45 minutes.
Check by sticking a small thin knife in the middle to make certain it is dry. Remove from the pan and let cool. I cut it into slices when it is still warm and set them aside to let the moisture escape. Put them in a paper bag and freeze them separately if you mean to store them for a long period. Two or three days in the fridge should be fine. The whey powder makes this bread firm and homogeneous in consistency. It should be easy to slice it into 24 to 28 slices.
Cheddar Cheese Bread recipe
Notation: This is a nicely flavored bread. Rather dense and similar to a biscuit in texture. I have also made it using cottage cheese and some herbs for another flavor.
The cottage cheese version is good for use as a true bread for a sandwich! This recipe can also be made using whey protein in place of soy protein.
I suspect you may also replace Atkins bake mix for the soy flour but your carb counts will vary depending on the products you use. Soy protein however has 0 carbs.
Ingredients:
1/3 cupful soy flour
1/3 cupful soy Protein*
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoonful of baking powder
2 tablespoonfuls sour cream
2 tablespoonfuls olive oil
1/2 cup cheddar cheese — grated
2 teaspoonfuls oregano
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Liberally butter a loaf pan, 8 1/2 x 2 1/2.
Mix the soy flour, soy protein, eggs, baking powder, sour cream, and oil in a bowl and mix well. Fold in one-half of the cheddar. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the remaining cheddar on top.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Serve right away or store, wrapped well in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to two days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Scrumptious Bread II
Can be considered a low-carb wheat bread recipe.
Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast (Rapid Rise/Highly Active)
1/2 teaspoonful sugar
1 1/8 cupful “baby bottle warm” water (90-100°F)
3 tablespoonfuls olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder
1 teaspoonful salt
1 tablespoonful Splenda
1 cupful Wheat Gluten Flour
1/4 cupful oat flour
3/4 cupful soy flour
1/4 cupful flax seed meal
1/4 cupful coarse unprocessed wheat bran
Pour yeast into the bottom of the bread machine pan. Add sugar and water. Stir, and let sit. This is “proofing” your yeast to see if your yeast is active. If it is not bubbling, it is dead and you can replace it without wasting all of the other ingredients.
In the meanwhile, combine all other dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add oil to the bread machine pan. Add mixed dry ingredients. Set your machine to the basic cycle (3 to 4 hours) and bake. Cool on a rack and enjoy. A low-carb wheat bread recipe.
The sugar is entirely devoured by the yeast and doesn’t add to the carb count. I keep a couple of packets of restaurant sugar on-hand for this purpose so I never have to have a supply of actual sugar in the house.
I have had the best results using “Bob’s Red Mill: Vital Wheat Gluten Flour. Whatever brand you use should be 6 grams (no fiber) per 1/4 cup on the label and approximately 75 to 80% protein. It works great, keeps the taste and texture just like bakery bread, and keeps the carb count very low.
Makes 16 slices. 3.4 carbs per slice.
Notice: for the machine add water and oil to the bottom of the pan, then dry the ingredients, then yeast sprinkled equally on top. After the first kneading cycle, about 40 minutes, stop the machine’s kneading paddles so as not to overwork the dough, then finish baking in the bread machine. The loaf comes out picture-perfect, high, and traditionally bread-like. With low-carb bread, you will find that practice makes perfect.
To Make Bread Without a Machine:
Follow the recipe in the same order as the bread machine.
After you mix and knead all of the ingredients together, put the dough in a clean bowl and set it in a warm, draft-free place for about 45 minutes to one hour.
One option is to turn on your oven a pre-heat for a minute and a half to get it warm, then turn it completely off before setting the dough in to let it rise in the oven. The dough should rise to about double its original size.
Later, knead slightly, do not over-knead, the gluten content will keep this bread from rising well the second time unlike “regular” bread! You will want to be cautious not to hold the dough too much after it rises the first time.
Put it in a loaf pan, cover it, and set it in a warm draft-free place for another 30 to 45 minutes, and then bake at 380 degrees till done. (35-45 minutes – depending on your oven, you may have to shorten or lengthen the time.)
