Low-carb hemp bread

Hemp foods are particularly suitable here. The hemp flour obtained from hemp seeds contains much fewer carbohydrates than wheat flour and is all the richer in fiber and protein (cf.: 100g wheat flour type 405: 72g carbohydrates, 4g fiber, 11g protein / 100g hemp flour: 1.4g carbohydrates, 47g fiber, 30g protein). This low-carb hemp bread is made without wheat flour and instead uses some nuts or seeds.

Ingredients

• 70g almond flour
• 12g coconut flour
• 30g hemp flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 25g sunflower seeds
• ½ tbsp baking powder
• 30g chia seeds
• 30g psyllium husks
• 3 eggs
• 250g curd cheese (lactose-free)
• 50g hemp seeds

Preparation

The eggs are beaten with the curd cheese until frothy. Mix the almond flour, coconut flour, hemp flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the egg mixture. Add psyllium husks and chia seeds and mix well. Add hemp seeds and sunflower seeds and mix. The dough is quite moist and is best placed in a loaf pan. Then sprinkle with seeds (sunflower seeds/sesame) and press down slightly. Bake at approx. 170 degrees convection for 50–60 minutes – done!
100g of bread contains approx. 6.45g of carbohydrates – one slice only about 3g!
