Bread....BREAD! It’s my biggest down full, I do love it, but it does not have the same affinity to me!
I have chosen not to find an alternative, instead I stay away from it. But I understand that does mean a huge impact on the classic picnic, or work lunch. I have read a lot about a healthy bread called Ezekiel bread, for a long time it was not available in the UK, but it is becoming more popular. It is made from sprouted grain, making it a far healthier option with health benefits. Having never tried it, I can not comment on its taste.
Isn't Ezekiel bread still grain though?
The grain is sprouted, so it takes on a whole different Set of Health benefits.
I have found that seeded brown bread makes me blow up like a balloon, I thought white bread was the worst?
White bread is like eating sugar, it has absolutely no nutritional value at all. Don’t eat it!Quote:

I’ve tried to find it in this country, it is really hard to find, I’d love to try some. I wonder if it is easier on the digestive system, with being sprouted.
Surely Ezekiel bread is not a bread alternative, which is what the OP asked for!
At least she was trying to be helpful, unlike your comment!Quote:

There are various recipes for cloud bread, but a simple version is as follows.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
3 ounces (oz) cream cheese
one-eighth of a teaspoon (tsp) sea salt
Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff, foamy mounds.
In a second bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese, and salt.
Fold the egg whites into the second bowl, being careful not to knock the air out of them.
Scoop the mixture into bun-sized dollops on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 30 minutes until golden.
Cloud bread is a versatile, simple alternative to bread that many people on low-carb diets eat every day.
Tastes delicious :jb:
Rye bread or corn tortillas are a good alternative to bread
Have you seen this super seed bread from Deliciously Ella, I haven’t tried it myself, but came across it when looking for a soup recipe.

These are acceptable alternatives, but I would urge you to read the packaging just in case, corn is a product that is heavily sprayed sugars are often added to make it palatable, like corn syrup.Quote:
