  2. Hey! I've been following your site for a while now and this recipe seems awesome, as it doesn't include any protein powders or weird/hard-to-get ingredients. :)

  3. How funny...I just tried this recipe (from your recipe book) on Sunday for the first time! :) I LOVE it...it tastes so great! Question though...can you store this bread on the counter?? Or should it be refridgerated??

  4. If you add some homemade ketchup to this it would be more like a reuben. The mix of mayo and ketchup will be like Russian dressing.

  5. Is that right? A whole tablespoon of baking powder?

  6. Is that carb count net carbs, or total carbs? 4 carbs is a bit much for a slice, but .5 is awesome!

  14. Made this today... it was delicious! However mine didn't rise AT ALL... so it was a very small (short) loaf. And was kinda too sweet... stevia glycerite, is that regular stevia?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Stevia glycerite is different. One tip is to look for “stevia glycerite;” which has no bitter aftertaste as compared to plain “stevia.

    1. Because there are 92g of carbs in a cup. I don't believe in eating any grains. :)

  17. OH! Forgot in my last post!

    Mixed herbs???????? WHat is this mix?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Maria this was fantastic! Mine didnt rise but I loved it.. with avocado, goats cheese, cranberries and walnuts! I followed your recipe exact, used coconut oil instead and I watched your video on making bread - I have guar/xantham gum but the mixture was so thick I was scared to use it! Is it because I didnt use a loaf tin? I only have an open tin which food tends to stick to (I need to go shopping).

    Thinking of an assessment with you after the new year!!!!!!
