Sandwich Bread
I've tried a couple of different low carb sandwich breads that I've ordered online, and I don't care for them. I spent some time this weekend browsing the web and came up with one I made. It was pretty easy to make, even though I did not have a food processor (need to get one of those). I omitted the parmesan cheese though. I think it turned out good, I'm not sure I love the cheese flavor of it, but I tried it on a Turkey and Cheddar sandwich and it was good. The next morning tried it toasted in pan with butter and a bacon and egg sandwich. I'm not sure it worked as well with that one. I'll keep trying it though, as it made plenty of bread (30 slices)!

I made this last night after reading your blog; a couple things I found:
ReplyDelete1. It really tastes like a cross between a light cornbread and sandwich bread, which I found interesting.
2. In the directions she notes that it is a pretty savory bread. I'm not sure I totally agree with that. Yeah, it has 3 tbsp on Parmesan in it, but that's for 30 pieces of bread. And Jack cheese really has no flavor once it gets combined with other ingredients. Not really enough to make it savory, imho.
3. In her directions (not in yours) it says that the slices are about the size of sandwich bread. Not sure if she is a member of the lollipop guild or perhaps a lilliputian, but those slices are pretty small. That being said, this was the most filling bread I have ever had.
I made a grilled cheese with my first slice and it worked quite nicely. The bread does have more flavor/texture than normal sandwich bread, so I think you need to add more toppings than you would normally think to add, or else they will get lost in the flavor of the bread itself.
This could be a great base recipe. When these are gone, I am going to try at least three different variations:
1. Replace a the Jack cheese with an extra sharp cheddar. I think this would nicely complement the corn type taste and texture.
2. Again replacing the Jack cheese with sharp cheddar, but also adding some garlic and maybe some chives. The instead of making a sheet for slices, just drop spoonfuls onto the pan, brush with garlic butter, and bake into some nice cheddar/garlic biscuits.
3. Again replace the Jack with cheddar and then add some chopped jalapenos and really take advantage of the cornbread taste and texture.
Thanks for sharing this! It really is nice to have something satisfy the bread craving, and it is giving me lots of ideas on things to do to this recipe!
Great ideas Chris! I really love the jalepeno cheddar idea. I have another recipe I want to try one day that is a Bacon Cheddar Jalepeno bread.
