    About the bread, it may not work for some if they don’t use the correct kind of psyllium because there are two different kinds and they react totally differently! There is something called psyllium husk powder and something called psyllium husk and they are not the same thing although they are similar nutritionally. The powdered one is the one you usually want to use when baking bread because it is able to absorb more liquid and faster. If you happen to have purchased the whole husk kind it’s not a problem you can grind it into powder yourself with a coffee grinder is what I find works the best. This stuff also doesn’t have a very long shelf life and it’s important to store in a cool dark place. One other thing is buy organic with this stuff because a lot of the psyllium crops are sprayed with pesticides so this is one of those times when I always spring for the organic kind…it’s important to me. Hope that helps anyone that’s tried the recipe and it didn’t quite work out for them ..I would suspect instead of bread they would end up with soup. Not sure where I got this info I just know it was a reliable source at the time. Anyone can google it to find out but something not everyone who is new to keto would know. Also I would recommend forming your loaf not quite as long as the pan and sorta rolling it on parchment paper to ensure it’s a nice smooth surface because you don’t want to mush it around or play with it too much after you have mixed it up. Because the more you press or fiddle with it the denser the loaf becomes. So I would just form the log and sorta push up the top from the sides so you have a sorta balloon effect on top and more narrow on the bottom not an extreme difference just slightly because the bread is not going to rise the way normal bread would and pretty much the way you put it in is the way it’s going to come out. One more little thing I do after I’ve let my loaf rest for 10 mins(that is a very critical step) I take my silicone pastry brush and using warm water just brush it over the top and along the sides…it just helps with the overall crust that forms…also once it comes out of the oven after baking don’t leave it to sit in the pan I found this to be a critical step as well, I lift the parchment out becareful because it’s heavy and could tear the parchment…then I sit it on my three tier wire rack and like a magic show I pull the parchment paper out from underneath it. The reason for this Is because when it starts to cool if there is still moisture in it or even the steam that’s inside it you want it to come out and not just sit against the parchment paper because it will result in a soggy bottom. So by placing it on the three tier rack which I don’t put anything underneath allows a lot of space all around it where it can air cool and not hold in any steam or moisture. Anyway those are the little tips and tricks that I’ve used and I have to tell you it’s LITERALLY THE BEST BREAD IVE EVER MADE! Including yeast breads that I’ve made! I’ve done a lot of bread making over the years and I’ve tried a ton of different recipes even the milk powder eggless bread which is pretty good but it’s very small and take a lot of milk powder which is extremely expensive. But this is similar and as close to a whole wheat bread that I’ve ever made and it is “Hubby Approved!” Lol! I’ve made it several times now and the other thing I forgot to mention is I leave it overnight to air dry and then I cut it into 16 slices and I just put them all in a ziplock bag and keep it in the fridge and then we take it out as we need it. One question I do have is if you or any of your fans have ever stopped the process after forming the loaf and then wrapped it in plastic wrap and sealed it and froze it? I’m wondering if this would be a good bread for that? It looks very similar to those loaves of bread that you purchase from the freezer section and then just pop in the oven when u want fresh bread. If that could be achieved I’d make up several loaves at once(not by tripling the recipe…make single batches each time) but while I have all the ingredients out it would be so easy to do..I’ve baked other bread and then just wrapped them individually and froze them that way but for some reason my family doesn’t like frozen slices of bread that they have to toast. Lol! So this was another way I thought of that may work. If no one has tried it I may this weekend and then bake the frozen one the following weekend. But if someone knows that it doesn’t work out please advise because I hate to waste expensive ingredients and food. Thanks again Misti, I feel so blessed to have found you in this cyber world 🌎. ❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

    Misti you are AWESOME!!! Thank you soooo much for the recipes, wow I don’t think I’ve ever hit pause so much when watching a meal prep…I was frantically typing all the ingredients into my recipe keeper and all the details so that I could make them! Seriously there is usually one or two that I’m interested in making and then I pull from my now extensive list of “hubby approved” meal rotation recipes. But I’m basically going to duplicate your entire meal prep this weekend! This came at the perfect time to inspire me for tomorrow’s meal prep!! Thank you thank you thank you! I can’t tell you how important you doing all this is to me, you are such an amazing positive and inspirational person which is exactly the type of person that I would love to hang out with IRL. But girl u live too far away! Lol! I’m sooo glad I found you on the Internet because it was right when I was really struggling with my meal planning and trying to come up with what side dishes to make. I was so used to making a protein and having the standard potatoes, rice or pasta. But on keto what do I do?! Well you have certainly solved it for me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🇨🇦

    The bread looks amazing! I saw a video that used dry fast rising yeast for flavor because you don't use sugar. I might try it for that yeast flavor!

    I keep saying I'm going to make that bread. I usually make kzoo Keto's macadamia nut bread which is tasty more like a heavy bread but so flavorful.

    Hey Misti, I'm meal prepping tomorrow. I told my family we are eating protein and veggies that included salads. Since, we can't be active and go outside. We are eating low carb to burn the fat and not gain weight. I'm very happy my daughter P.E. teacher assigns her with home workout. I'm definitely going to try it with her. How you holding down with the home workouts? Thank you for sharing. Have a great evening.💜💙

    Going to retry the bread. First time was gummy in middle; but I did cut it right out of the oven. Will cook a little longer and let it rest 3 hours this time! Can’t wait to try the scones. Gotta get some blueberries! Prayers and blessing to you and your family.

    Great ideas for meal prepping. I don't have all of your ingredients but will sure replace ingredients using your ideas. I'll have to try the bread. It's easy enough. I hope I like it.

    Hi Misti,

    Do you use vital wheat gluten in your baked goods? I just started using it and am mostly pleased with results. Its a tiny bit carby but you use a small amount so not that impactful. Helps with structure and texture better than xanthan gum imo.
