Low Carb Bread Recipe

I found this delicious low-carb bread recipe online. Its a focaccia-style flax bread.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2C flax seed meal {good stuff found @ CVS by the pharmacy}
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-2 tbsp splenda (or any other sugar substitute)
5 beaten eggs
1/2C water {room temp}
1/3C oil

Preparation:

preheat oven to 350F, prepare pan ( a 10x15 pan with sides works best) with oiled parchment paper or a silicone mat.

1) Mix dry ingredients well --- a whisk works best
2) Add wet to dry and combine well. make sure there aren't obvious strings of egg white hanging out in the batter.
3) Let batter set for 2-3 minutes to thicken up some (leave it too long and it gets past the point where its easy to spread)
4) Pour batter onto pan. because it's going to tend to mound in the middle, you'll get a more even thickness if you spread it away from the center somewhat, in roughly a rectangle an inch or two from the sides of the pan. (if you want thinner, spread it all the way to the edges).
5) Bake for about 20 minutes, until it springs back when you touch the top and/or is visibly browning even more than flax already is.
