Reddit mentions: The best wheat flours & meals

You can do it! And when you get even 1/4 of the way there, you'll feel like a different, healthier, more mobile person. It's amazing.

Enough motivational drivel. To your question, I'd first advise to not worry about cravings until you're through keto flu. It's hard enough to not eat carbs. Don't make it harder by trying to starve yourself as well. EAT. ENJOY SO MUCH BACON. This will not last long and will most likely reduce your lifespan less in this time than being overweight long-term will.

You will also probably have cheat days. Don't judge yourself for them. It was actually kind of eye-opening to go back and forth a bit and feel the difference in my health very tangibly.

My fave foods that I used in the beginning (and a few subsequent falls from grace) were:

Drinks:

I try to drink lots of water. Water gets really boring. Unfortunately, most of the sugar-ish drinks you find have artificial sweeteners in them. I know that these sweeteners aren't great, but I don't think they're as terrible as some folks believe. I drink them anyway, but I try to minimize my intake.

• SodaStream - This bastard is indispensible for me. I use it all the time, but I love drinking plain seltzer. You can also add...
  
  
• Sugar Free Syrup or Sugar Free Lemonade - When I do get a bad craving for a sweet drink, these are my favorites. You can add the lemonade powder to regular water. The soda...not so much.
  
  
• Coke Zero - Again, I try to limit these, but they're a solid replacement for Coke.
  
  
• Coffee & Tea - It's coffee tea. By this point in your life, you probably know if it's your thing or not, so if you like it, drink a lot more now. Just use heavy whipping cream or half and half as a creamer, as milk has a lot of sugar. Adding stevia is...okay. I usually just drink it black.
  
  Meals & Snacks:
  
  
• FatHead Crackers/Nachos - Crikey these are good. I would eat these when not on keto. They're good alone, dipped in salsa, baked with nacho toppings (shredded chicken, black olives, guacamole). Top them with pepperoni and cheese to make little mini pizza-crackers. Or you could have...
  
  
• FatHead Pizza - This is also worthy of a crikey. The crust doesn't taste exactly like bread per se, but it's fantastic. Top however you would a pizza. Make your own sauce, as a lot of the store bought brands have too much sugar.
  
  
• Pizza Sauce - This is a simple sauce that tastes pretty good. It's fairly easy to modify ratios and tweak ingredients to match your tastes.
  
  
• Low Carb Tortillas - I generally can't taste the difference because mine are filled with delicious taco fixins.
  
  
• Cookies - Cookies. Nuff said.
  
  
• Pork rind crusted chicken nuggets - These are legit. I was doubtful of the breading, but I was pleased in the end.
  
  
• Weird, not-ramen replacement - I love ramen almost as much as I love my children. To replace it, I make this abomination. I don't really measure, but I'll give rough estimates. Also, please don't judge me.
  
  
  • Asparagus stir fry - An entire bag is 10.5 carbs. I usually eat half.
    
  • 2 eggs
    
  • 2T Peanut butter
    
  • 1T Soy sauce
    
  • 1 - 2T Heavy whipping cream (or more to achieve desired consistency or nutrient content)
    
  • 1/2 - 1t chicken bouillon
    
  • 1/4t - 1/2t Onion Powder - I'm guessing wildly at this amount. I just shake it a few times
    
  • 1/4t - 1/2t Garlic powder - Same as above
    
  • A few shakes of Fish sauce
    
    

1. Add frozen veggies to water and turn on stove, set eggs aside.
   
   
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl
   
   
3. When water boils, add eggs and poach to desired consistency (boiling for 3 min gets you soft-medium boiled consistency)
   
   
4. Carefully drain the water from the pan without busting the eggs. You don't have to get all of the water, as it can add
   
   
5. Pour veggies and eggs into the bowl and mix with the sauce.
   
   Misc:
   
   

• Bob's Red Mill - God bless Bob. He should be a patron saint of keto. He has all the flours. See below.
  
  
• Bob's almond flour, Bob's coconut flour. This is basically all you need. No Hindu crickets required. You can get fancy later when you're feeling better and want to branch out.
  
  
• Pork rinds - They're weird and taste like I imagine a football would, or...a piece of rawhide. But I use these for breading sometimes (they're surprisingly good when soaked in delicious avocado or coconut oil). I also occasionally eat these to make my craving for chips, or rather, entire appetite go away.
  
  
• Avocado - The best fruit/berry ever. They're good by themselves. You can also make delicious ice cream with them. And of course, there's guacamole for the FatHead Crackers/Nachos above.
  
  Okay. I'm tired now and have to work tomorrow. I'll try to come back and add more useful things. Good luck!
  
  Edit: Links & formatting. Also, In my tired state, I almost forgot to add fat bombs. Look up lots of recipes. It's a huge help to be able to eat delicious chocolatey, doughy things.

Another edit - a step by step photo album is here: https://imgur.com/a/qfDslUR

Edit: The carbalose flour on Amazon is by Tova/Carbquick and has a higher net carb count than the Dixie brand. It will still work, but your net carbs will be higher. Tova has 19 grams net per cup vs. 8 grams net per cup for Dixie, which is the approximate amount used here. This will put your net carbs at around 3g per slice. Still keto! Just something to keep in mind.

Also, lupin flour is made from a legume. The interwebs tell me that if you are allergic to peanuts it's possible that you might have a reaction to it. Safety first!

​

I’m finally able to experiment with breads again, and I’ve branched out into different shapes, as well as feeling more comfortable with other ingredients. With a yummy taste and lovely texture, perfect for sandwiches or toast, or whatever…..this is the result.

If you are new to low-carb breads, a few things to note.

1. A high-carb syrup is used to feed the yeast. Don’t panic! This is used up by the yeast and none of it remains.
   
2. One of the many side effects of this is that low-carb breads tend to only get one good rise, so there’s no punching it down and letting it rise back up to develop texture and flavor. In this recipe I’ve created a sponge to help combat these issues.
   
   Below is the recipe:
   
   115g carbalose flour(not all carbalose flours are the same, this is the lowest net carb version I’ve found)
   
   26g oat fiber
   
   123g vital wheat gluten
   
   90g lupin flour (not all lupin flours are the same – I’ve poured several pound of disasters out in my compost. I use this one)
   
   1.5 tsp salt
   
   1 tsp xanthan gum
   
   1/4 tsp ginger
   
   2 eggs, room temp
   
   26g sour cream, room temp
   
   2 tbsp olive oil
   
   1.5c water, divided
   
   1/8 c butter, softened, cut into small pieces
   
   1.5 tsp corn syrup or honey, divided
   
   3.5 tsp instant yeast, divided
   
   The technique:
   
   Combine the dry ingredients minus the yeast.
   
   Make the sponge: scoop out ¾ c of the mixture, and combine them in a bowl with ½ c cool water, ½ tsp of corn syrup, and ½ tsp of yeast. Let this sit for 4-6 hours, or better yet, over night.
   
   When your sponge is ready, prepare a cup of warm-ish water. Mix ½ cup of the water with 1 tsp of corn syrup and 1 tbsp instant yeast. Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, mix in the sponge along with the other wet ingredients (minus the butter). Pause the machine and sift in the dry ingredients. Mix for a couple of minutes with the paddle mixer, then add in the butter, and if it seems dense or tough, add more warm water. I usually add another 1/3 to ½ cup. Then switch to the dough hook and mix on low for 10 minutes. If the dough is shaggy or sticky, try kneading for a few more minutes before adding any more flour. If you do need to add more flour, dust your work surface with carbalose, dump the dough out onto it, dust more on the ball of dough, and knead it in by hand.
   
   If it’s not shaggy or sticky, turn it out onto your work surface. No additional flour should be necessary, even for dusting. Knead it briefly to help form it into a roughly 6” ball, tucking the edges in and pinching them as you go. Using a sharp knife, slash an X in the top.
   
   Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit comfortably in your 6 quart dutch oven. Place the parchment on a cookie sheet, place the ball on the parchment, and place all of it in a warm place. Depending on your location, humidity, elevation, etc., proving time could be 30 minutes, could be a few hours.
   
   As it proofs, place a 6 quart cast iron dutch oven with a lid in your oven and preheat it to 450 degrees for at least 30 minutes.
   
   When your dough has proofed and your dutch oven is hot, take your dutch oven out, place your dough and parchment in the pan, and put on the lid.
   
   Turn the oven down to 375F, and bake for ~30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the internal temp is 190 degrees. Take it out of the dutch oven, let it cool on a rack until completely cool.
   
   I can usually get 15-17 slices out of it – I’m a weirdo who likes the end pieces. Macros per slice are: 103 calories/8.0 carbs/6.2g fiber/1.8g net carbs/4.2g fat/12.7g protein.

Going vegetarian can be an excellent choice, it considerably improves the sustainability of your lifestyle and doesn’t mean food can’t be delicious or cheap. Also, meat is often high in fat and salt content as well as being very calorie dense if you’re trying to cut back.

If you want to go the meat substitute route homemade seitan is inexpensive (wheat gluten is [~$15/4 pounds](Vital Wheat Gluten by Anthony's (4 Pounds), High in Protein (4lb) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gDvdBbNC4M863), or ~$.50-$1 per serving) and has the nutrition profile of a workout supplement with the caveat of not being a complete amino acid source on it’s own. I like to follow this recipe which is easy to make and all the spices including nutritional yeast can be changed as pleased. I have a batch in the slow cooker right now made with onion and coriander seeds.

Other options are things like burrito bowls, they can be made using black beans and optionally seitan along with peppers, onions, corn and other veggies sautéed and seasoned with chipotle powder.

Lots of Asian inspired food can be made using tofu, 1 block of tofu is ~$1-1.30 and makes two heafty meals. It can be sautéed with veggies and stir fry sauce and served over brown rice or noodles.

Another option for cooking is frozen shelled edamame, I like to sautée it with frozen butternut squash, spinach, and a spoonful better than bullion vegetable stock and then mix it with noodles like farfalle. (Note this meal is on the cheap side but not so much the healthy side if you eat a lot of noodles like I do)

A great option for on-the-go or cold meals is homemade hummus this is another one where you can change it to your mood that day, with things like removing the garlic or adding roasted red pepper or kalametra olives. It can be eaten with chips or crackers, or I like to spread it on two pieces of whole wheat bread, make a sandwich with spinach in the middle and throw it on the panini press. (Note this meal is a little less cheap)

Beyond that there is many other choices, this week I’m making stuffed peppers (with seitan) and penne á la vodka, I’ve also been eating walnut, pecan spinach salad with dog and walnut balsamic dressing. If you’re interested in more I’m sure I could write out some of those recipes or provide other tips or suggestions.

As mentioned in another comment, partial vegetarian is often called flexetarian, but the less you eat a food the less you desire long-term it so don’t be afraid to jump in and try going all the way.

Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:

• Pasta that tastes good and has good texture - Tinkyada
  
  
• Pizza crust mix that my husband likes even better than the gluten filled stuff I used to make - Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza Crust Mix
  
  
• Bread mix that we make in a dedicated GF bread machine - Glutino Gluten Free Bread Mix
  
  
• Muffins - King Arthur Muffin Mix
  
  
• Pancakes, waffles, cookies, biscuits, muffins, just all around awesome baking substitute - Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix
  
  
  If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.

Hey all,

Made my first pie this weekend. Per /u/jaaypeee very simple recipe seen below. Not the prettiest pizza, but it tasted great! I'm glad it came out a little Frankenstein-ish because it leaves plenty of room for improvements! Next time I'm making a sauce, hit me up with any simple recommendations!

I bought this flour and yeast. Baked at 550F in a cast iron that I sealed with bacon grease the night before. I couldn't believe nothing stuck! It was an AWESOME experience and I already ordered a baking steel and plan to make more pies at my girlfriend's parents place this coming weekend. A special thanks to /u/jaaypeee for the post and tips!

>I used the 48-72 Hour NY Pizza Dough recipe from the book The Elements of Pizza by Ken Forkish. This was the second time using a baking steel. I heated the oven to 550 degrees fahrenheit and let the steel come to temp for about 45 mins. The pizzas took 5-6 mins to bake.

• Take the dough balls out of the fridge 60-90 mins before baking.
  
  
• Make pizza :)

I could track some things. This is what I bought from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BR0K5DE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006XL9W7W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047YX0J8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this is the Candian flour I bought from ebay.co.uk July 2017 (not the same seller nor listing):

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marriages-Very-Strong-Canadian-White-Flour-1-5kg/253510013459?hash=item3b065fd213:g:LoUAAOSwrIlaspP3

I also bought directly from kingarthurflour.com but I didn't register so I don't remember what I bought exactly.

All those purchases were shipped to a US address (except the UK ebay purchase), the forwarding company, and from there shipped internationally to. I can't tell you exactly how much it costs because I never shipped the flour alone, I always had other items. But, 1-2 kgs would cost $27-$35 depending on the forwarder/account type etc.

Locally I think things have changed, I have seen pizza flour in Safeway (Altamimi in Riyadh). It's not as good as Caputo or King Arthur, but it is better than our local flour no doubt. So maybe that would be a first step. But /u/Complex_Magazine definitely must try Caputo/King Arthur. In the same store I have even seen dry yeast, that was a pleasant surprise.

And yes to the diastatic malt. I don't know what it does but it improved my pizza! I bought this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WGUYX96/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I make the best pizza in my town (at home), I dare anyone say otherwise, just because I bought good flour and was tutored by /u/dopnyc. The restaurants either make cakey pizza or they're pizza chains. It seems no one buys good flour. I've heared there are pizzarias in big cities who do use good flour, but they're nowhere near me.

I had the same reaction when I did that math. Eye-opening, to say the least.

For the smoothie, you can mix it up, but I go with this basic scheme every day:

1-2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder

1-2 tablespoons of ground flax meal

a handful of fresh spinach (trust me, you won't taste it, but it adds a LOT of nutrients)

a cup or so of frozen fruit of your choice. I have used almost everything I can find: pineapple, banana, strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, peaches, etc. If I can't find it frozen, I buy a bunch of whatever fruit is on sale, cut it up and freeze it myself.

Fill it up with a liquid of your choice to make sure it blends well - I use unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk because it's low calorie and I'm trying to lose weight, but I've also tried orange juice, drinkable yogurt, kefir, and other such things. You can use whatever liquid you want though.

And that's it. Blend it up into smoothie form and enjoy. One caveat: drink/eat it quickly and with a glass of water - the psyllium husk absorbs a ton of liquid and it can be a little thicker than you want if you let it sit for more than 20-30 minutes. The fiber takes up volume in your stomach as it absorbs water, it keeps you ahem regular, and everything in the recipe is so nutrient dense that it gives your body a lot to chew on, so to speak. A lot of the ingredients for these smoothies come off of this list the ANDI scale which is a rough guide to how much nutrition you get per calorie out of certain foods. Higher scores = more nutrient density = higher efficiency diet.

Disclaimer: if it works for you, awesome! If not, try something else, or meet with a nutritionist. I used the advice of a health counselor service I get through work, but if you go to any Whole Foods, you can schedule an appointment with their "healthy eating specialist" for free, and they can be remarkably helpful.

Thanks for your kind words.

I thought a bit more about the aluminum peel and how easy it is for aluminum to get banged up during shipping. If you can find the $10 peel locally, go for it, but, I think the 10" cake lifter is a better bet.

Here's the technical data on the two ways of measuring protein:

https://web.archive.org/web/20060208023504/http://www.kingarthurflour.com/stuff/contentmgr/files/15ec5c94af1251cdac2d7a25848f0e27/miscdocs/Flour%20Guide.pdf

>It is very important to note that most protein values in the US are reported on a 14% moisture basis whereas in the France and much of Europe protein (and ash) is reported on a 0% or “dry matter” basis. This is a powerful tool and allows “apples to apples comparisons” between flours that, as we discussed above, may have different moisture contents. It can, however, lead to confusion when you are talking about European flours and want to compare them to US flours. Basically, reporting on a 14% moisture basis gives you a corrected value of protein regardless of the actual moisture content. For those of you who must know here is the formula used for the correction:

>Protein 14% m.b. = Protein % as is x (100 – 14) / (100 – Moisture Content)

>This same formula is used to correct ash content to a 14% or “dry matter” moisture basis.

I used to use a spreadsheet that calculated the percentages for me, but, now I just subtract the European number by 2 to get the American one. It's very close and far easier.

For 11.5" wide pizzas, I'd shoot for dough balls around 230g. That's much more in line with the traditional thickness- and far less likely to be undercooked in the middle on a really fast bake.

To a point, proofed dough texture is typically more about the proof than the hydration. You can have a slightly wet dough that's underproofed and a bit tight/hard to stretch, and a drier dough that's properly proofed and stretches with ease. KABF has more protein than 00 pizzeria flour, so it can rise considerably more. My guess is that you might not have let it risen to it's full potential. As you said, though, lower protein flour will definitely alter the way the dough feels on future batches.

This is a very far cry from inexpensive, but, it buys you enough flour to get to know 00 pizza flour:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BR0K62E/

Once you're hooked, then you'll be a bit more motivated to look into larger quantities, like the 50 lb. GM bag ;)

Yeah for sure. I use this wakame. I rehydrate then drain squeezing out any extra liquid. Wakame is pretty mild, but I don't want the bread to be briney, I'm looking more for umami. I use 70g of rehydrated seaweed.

For my flour percentage, I do 82% bread flour to 18% rye flour (I like to use Bob's Mill Dark Rye). You can do more rye, but for me this is the perfect balance with the seaweed.

I'm planning on making some this weekend, so I'll be sure to get a good photo and post it so you can check the bread out. This bread is so incredible with eggs or to make avocado toast. Sometimes I simply toast it with butter and sea salt.

Last year I moved from a vegan-friendly city to the sticks, so I've been experimenting with alternatives to vegan prepackaged protein. I've been playing around with lots of seitan recipes and ended up combining the best ingredients from several. A friend, who is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy minus the potatoes, said it was "all right", which is huge. Also, the cost is less than half compared to frozen chicken.

If you're having problems finding vital wheat gluten, it can be found here on Amazon for really cheap:
https://www.amazon.com/Vital-Gluten-Anthonys-Pounds-Protein/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1526228474&sr=1-4&keywords=vital+wheat+gluten&dpID=41mzSF8WRxL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch








Okay, so here is the recipe:

Preheat Oven to 400 F

In a large mixing bowl. (If you have a stand mixer with a dough attachment, use it, it'll save you lots of work!)



Ingredients



1 Cup Vital Wheat Gluten


2/3 Cup Vegan Veggie Broth (Better than Bouillon works great)


1/8 Cup Tahini


1/2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika


1 Tbsp Vegan Teriyaki Sauce (I used Wegman's brand)


1 Tbsp Vegan Kansis Style BBQ Sauce (Wegman's brand)


1/2 tsp Black Pepper


2 Cloves Pressed Garlic




Knead for three minutes, rest for 5, then knead for 10. Form into 1 inch thick logs, cover the logs in more BBQ Sauce. Wrap the logs tightly in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet into the heated oven for one hour. Flip logs occasionally to make a nice crispy crust.

This is my recipe. I've been making Neapolitan style pizzas at home for years, and going to some of the best Neapolitan pizza joints in the US for "research" purposes, always in search of the perfect crust. This is it. Please rate the recipe if you try it.

Let me know if you have any questions about it. I'll be glad to answer them.

FYI, I actually use Supremo Italiano 00 flour from Restaurant Depot. You can buy Caputo on Amazon, here's one of many options:
http://www.amazon.com/Antimo-Caputo-Pizzeria-Flour-Repack/dp/B006XL9W7W

I'm glad I could help! That's a great little recipe you posted, I have never tried it with wheat flour, so I might have to give it a shot.

This is the stuff I usually use: Amazon Link

This is the stuff that is most common and at just about every walmartAmazon Link

Its getting to be summer, so one thing you can do is actually grill this stuff on aluminium foil. If you marinade it for a bit its just fantastic on burgers.

I use this for the buns by the way, and its awesome: http://www.food.com/recipe/carb-free-cloud-bread-411501

Once again, thank you very much. I promise I will do my best to develop a new starter without commercial yeast.

Unfortunately I cannot get pure Rye Flour in my country. I will buy something like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Organic-22-Ounce/dp/B004VLVFHG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381184711&sr=8-1&keywords=rye+flour) from Amazon; In order to get it shipped down to Costa Rica. If you can recommend something better than this let me know.

You don't have to eat plain to save money. Just make your own food. Making your own meat substitutes is way cheaper.

This can of vital wheat gluten is $22 for 45 servings. This four pack of beans is $18 for 64 servings. This pack of tofu is $21 for 48 servings. That's 157 servings of protein for $61. Lentils are crazy cheap as are oats, whole grain pastas and breads. Flax seed is cheap (gives you your omega-3s and works as a binder in recipes). Nutritional yeast is sold pretty cheap in bulk sections in some grocery stores as well.

Frozen fruits and veggie are sometimes cheaper than the fresh stuff. I live in CA so I can get some pretty cheap fresh produce. A lot of vegan cooking involves some planning. For example I always keep cashews soaking in the fridge for when I may need a creamy or cheesy sauce.

Hey, sorry guys. I posted this pretty late; in the midst of my food coma I fell asleep! Please enjoy the recipe.

For the seitan: I followed this recipe pretty much all the way. For convenience:

Ingredients list:

1. 2 cups wheat gluten
   
2. 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes (Note: I have purchased this 2 pack from Amazon before for less than $10. Not sure why the price increase).
   
3. 1 tsp cumin
   
4. 1 tbsp garlic powder
   
5. 1 tbsp onion powder
   
6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
   
7. 1.5 tsp sage (I used thyme because I didn't have sage. Still good.)
   
8. 1.5 cups vegetable broth
   
9. 1/2 cups water
   
10. 1/4 cup ketchup
    
11. 2 tbsps soy sauce
    
12. 2 tbsps olive oil (there are oil substitutes out there if avoiding oil. I think applesauce or mashed bananas will do it.)
    
    Instructions:
    
    
13. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
    
14. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl with a fork. In a separate second bowl, combine wet ingredients and mix well. (I recommend using a large mixing bowl for the dry ingredients).
    
15. Slowly add the wet mix to the dry mix, stirring to combine into a dough. Turn dough out onto the counter and knead for several minutes.
    
16. Shape dough into a tube and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake for 90 minutes directly on the oven rack, turning once halfway through baking. Let cool and enjoy! (While reading this, I just realized I never turned mine over. Oops. Still turned out awesome).
    
    Note: This yields ~184 grams of protein. I quartered the loaf and served myself portions of 46g protein. Also, I have tried to make seitan in the past, maybe 4 times, by boiling it and then frying it. It would always turn out way too tough and I never enjoyed it. This recipe might seem like too much liquid at first, but it is the perfect amount for tender, juicy seitan. I will be using this one for a long time.
    
    *Edited for clarity

It sounds like your looking for seitan. It has up to 20g of protein per 100 Cal. The theoretical maximum for any food is 25g per 100 Cal. You can just substitute seitan any time you would eat chicken. It even has a similar texture. [It's incredibly easy to make][seitan], and you can make it in bulk. It doesn't have all of the essential amino acids, but as long as you eat some other sources of protein, you'll get enough of all the essential amino acids. [Wheat gluten is incredibly inexpensive][gluten].

Another inexpensive source of protein you might be interested in is TVP, which is good in chili, pasta, and "meatloaf", among other dishes. You can also get larger chunks which are good in soup or stir fry. TVP has about 14g of protein per 100 Cal, all the essential amino acids, and is also incredibly inexpensive.

You can find TVP and Wheat gluten at many grocery stores, but they'll be a little less expensive if you buy them in bulk online.

Haven’t tried this one but looks super easy and good. I actually bought tipo 00 on amazon.

Good luck!

It is on Amazon with free Prime shipping or free $25 order. https://www.amazon.com/Antimo-Caputo-Chefs-Flour-Kilo/dp/B07144K4T6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19J15KIN1MKYJ&keywords=caputo+00+flour&qid=1570837110&sprefix=Caput%2Caps%2C216&sr=8-1

Thanks! We had to order ours from amazon . The only difference I noticed was it was a silkier dough and less spring back when shaping. My wife said it tasted “more like a pizza from a proper pizza place” than previously. Not sure if that’s a compliment to the flour or a slap in the face to my precious pizzas...

I just bought gluten powder from Amazon and it seems very cheap if you go the route of cooking it. I used this recipe because it was the most simple and also I wanted to use a slow cooker to be lazy, figuring if it would take time at least that is time I didn't have to be paying attention to it.

First batch came out pretty fantastic and that was with not really measuring anything well. When you compare the cost its super cheap to make yourself.

You can buy vital wheat gluten online, which is what seitan is made of. And it's a LOT cheaper than buying in stores.

Vital Wheat Gluten - 3.5 Pound Can https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006ZN52E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LXvHybPPYHME6

That's the kind I get, and it's great.

Making seitan isn't really that hard, doesn't take that long. It can be boiled, but also steamed or baked. Definitely a good alternative to tofu for variety sake.

Poor undergrad student here. To be kind to my wallet I buy a lot of beans rice and potatoes. Black beans are really good for protein. If I need extra protein I take vital wheat gluten and make seitan. There are tons of different ways to prepare this for different tastes and textures (one of my favorite recipes) and It will last a long time for what you spend on it. Also some nutritional yeast will get you that B12 without having to take any supplements as well as give you a ton of other vitamins and nutrients and it too will last a long time for what you are spending. Other than that try to buy fruits and veggies without breaking your budget and try to keep it varied. Good luck!

Sweet, thanks. I found this Vital Wheat Gluten stuff. 26 grams of protein per serving, 45 servings for $13. I'm going to get it and try it in smoothies/shakes and see what happens. It's 1/3 to 1/2 the price of everything else I have seen per serving for the same protein benefit.

If you can't find it locally, I used to get this off Amazon. It's a pretty good price and bag's resealable

edit: It looks like you can buy it directly from Anthony's as well if you're not a fan of Amazon

One of the things that has been hardest for my wife is good pizza. There’s a lot of GF options, but many of them are pretty crap. She actually likes the GF pizza from Blaze, if there’s one near you.

If you manage to find GF Ravioli let me know, I still haven’t found any.

For cooking at home, I’ve gotten to the point where I swear by this flour. I use it just like normal flower in any recipe and it has cooked normally. Many of the other GF flowers require you to modify ratios to cook right, but this stuff has been great... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CHUWQA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Amazon has a good deal on 4 x 22 oz packages from Bob's Red Mill: LINK.

You can also save a couple bucks and do the subscribe and save thing, and then cancel it once you receive the box.

Low-Carb Dutch Baby

Servings: 2*

3 large eggs, left at room temp for 30 min

1 1/2 tbsp granulated swerve (erythritol)

1 1/2 tbsp granulated splenda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2/3 cup carbalose flour

2/3 cup low-carb milk, at room temp

3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces

Place a 12 inch cast-iron skillet in oven on middle rack and preheat to 400°F.

Combine the carbalose, sweeteners, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. Set side

In a large bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract. Finally, whisk in the carbalose mixture and beat until the batter is smooth. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.

Remove the preheated skillet from the oven, put the butter in the skillet and swirl to coat until the butter is melted. Dump the batter into the greased skillet and bake in the oven until golden and the edges are browned and crisp, about 20 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve with fresh lemon, low-carb maple syrup, or sugar-free/low-sugar preserves.

This is not going to rise as high as a normal dutch baby, but the flavor is pretty great.

*This could really be 4 servings if you are having it as a side at breakfast, which would make it 5g net per serving, but it's probably 2 servings if this the main part of the meal.

I need this from my wl because I'm making our own bread, and I didn't know I needed it to use my wheat flour!! I'm going to have to wait until next month to get it.

This is great, thank you for drawing attention to the do something nice day thing. I totally missed it!

Honestly you can get wheat gluten pretty cheap. It's kind of like the idea of making your own bread. It's technically cheaper to make your own bread, but the amount of time and work that it requires, and the quality of the result, usually means it's just not worth it to make your own. I think wheat gluten is the same way. Amazon has this bag, 4 lbs for $18. This gives you 1370 grams of protein for $18, or 76 grams per dollar. I think you will be hard-pressed to find a better deal than that, even if you are making it on your own at home.

Cheers. I got on the chaffle train recently and I do love them. Great alternative but sometimes you just want bread and this is it.

Yep, 3 net carbs per 1/4 cup. It's a pretty common item at health food stores. Mine sells it in the bulk section.

This was the first time I used it, but my girlfriend and I were both really happy with it.

Yeah, I use the Uuni recipe. I come from years of oven baking pizzas, and find this simple one works the best: http://recipes.uuni.net/general/classic-pizza-dough-recipe/

A couple modifications:

• I add about 7% more water (for a total of about 320g.) I find it makes a softer, tastier dough without losing the integrity of the dough.
  
  
• I use this 00 flour. This is hands down the best 00 flour I've used, and I've tried a bunch. I wouldn't recommend 00 flour for oven baking though.
  
  
• It says to proof for 1-2 hours, but I would do a maximum of one. After two, it doesn't rise as much in the fridge.
  
  
• I also like to cold proof for 2-3 days instead of the recommended 1-2.
  
  

They also make an all-purpose flour without leaveners in it. Here’s an Amazon link. I hope this helps you make some delicious biscuits.

.

for 3 small pancakes = 159 cals, 8 grams protein

note: you can go higher protein, up to 16 grams per 3 pancake serving, but they won't be nearly as fluffy, but taste is good. Protein makes them denser.

pancakes are approx 3.4" diameter

​

ingredients, protein, cals for ENTIRE plate:

¼ cup wheat protein, bobs red mill (21 grams protein) 120 cals

1 cup bisquick (9 grams protein ) 450.00 cals

1 tsp vanilla 12 cals

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ T sweetener, no calorie

Mix dry ingedients. Add water mixed with vanilla until you get a batter like consistency. I'm not exactly sure how much water I used, but add it gradually, stir a little, then add more until you get it the way you like.

Thanks! It was delicious. I used Caputo "00" Chefs Flour (red bag) and Saf Instant Yeast

My standard is to pressure cook it, like in this recipe (just the seitan part, not the finishing portion to make them into wings).

A lot of people like baking their seitan. I like this recipe for baked seitan (I only make the stuffing for fancy holiday roasts, but I've made it without the stuffing for a quick seitan fix).

Another common method is simmering the seitan, but I suck at making seitan this way, so no good suggestions here.

I like to buy my vital wheat gluten from Amazon, since it's cheaper than what I can find in the store. [This one is my go-to brand.] (https://smile.amazon.com/Vital-Gluten-Anthonys-Pounds-Protein/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1491449731&sr=1-4&keywords=vital+wheat+gluten)

This stuff works great. Just use it like flour.

https://www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Flour-Gluten-Free-Measure/dp/B01JJ9H1Q8/ref=pd_sbs_325_3/144-2811264-5866866

What recipe are you following? the one from Vegan with a Vengeance is good and easy.

Are you trying to wash out the gluten yourself and then make seitan from that? I always just purchase Vital Wheat Gluten and use that to make seitan.

I do have a book with instructions on that at home that I can check later tonight.

I get mine at Whole Foods, and the same stuff is on Amazon.

I actually prefer bread flour, though, which is definitely easier to find.

For eggs, I usually use the same number the instruction call for, then add water until the dough is right.

I bought the Caputo in a red bag.

I guess gritty would be a better word. I just remember a few bites having a loud crunch to them, was thinking it was either the cornmeal burning or my baking stone had some burnt on crud that the dough picked up. Yes, same cornmeal and always had the same issue.

Dough was stored in sealed ziploc bags in the fridge.

Isn't high gluten white flour just bread flour?

Also, you can use all whole wheat flour if you use some vital wheat gluten.

The whole wheat flour doesn't have as much protein (gluten) as bread flour so that is why some recipes try to get you to do this half recipe.

Vital wheat gluten is basically just adding the gluten in the whole wheat flour. It makes it light and fluffy instead of dense and chewy.

I bought a pack of this stuff from amazon and it makes all my breads a lot lighter.

Ummm... Amazon is your friend.

This is the best deal I know of. $18 for enough gluten to make 16+ loafs

I get this one wheat gluten amazon:
Vital Wheat Gluten by Anthony's (4 Pounds), High in Protein (4lb) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_r4oiDbH8YJS7C

See if you can order this from amazon, it’s the one I get and make some great Seitan with it.

Vital wheat gluten

You mean something like this? Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour

I like this contest!

i have vital wheat gluten on my list because I want to start making seitan (a meat replacer bc I'm vegan). It will help me get more protein in my diet with less fat and still taste yummy. I can't find this stuff in any grocery stores around here, but I can find the ready-made seitan, which doesn't take kindly to being frozen and usually has flavorings and extra salt.

I was using the Bob's Red Mill, but ran out last week, so the ones I made tonight were using Anthony's. I have been using a Corningware Mug, but tonight I tried a new Sistema Microwave Plate -- I was hoping to cut the resulting square into four 4" x 4" bread-sized slices, but the batter came out a bit thin. Doubling the recipe would be too much.

I'm thinking I can make a "bread mix" with all the dry ingredients, so I can just pull out 1/4 cup of it with 1/4 cup of liquid and an egg, to speed up the process. Then I don't need to measure out all of the spices every time. If I drop the cheese, I may need more mix and liquid. More coconut flour might require another egg.

I've done a number "muffin-in-a-minute" recipes in the past, so I kind of winnowed them down to a generic recipe. I used to do a sweetened version using the flax meal, but they can be too much fiber. :)

This year is really my first jump into using coconut flour instead of almond flour.

Amazon link to what I buy. If you don't have amazon prime, you should be able to get Amazon Prime Student for 6 months for free.

Simple recipe: vegetable broth, wheat gluten. Mix and knead into dough and bake.

I use that stuff for baking and it also makes a good low carb pizza crust.

Lysine is cheap at Whalemart.

I got this Gluten online for a good price

https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Vital-Gluten/dp/B000EDK5LM

I'm in the same boat. I just moved to Hawaii and I swear, no one diets here at all. And they eat rice with everything. I'm afraid to say the word "low carb" around these people :)

So I have recently bought on amazon a bunch of things I USED to be able to find my local grocery stores, such as:

1. Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flour
   
2. Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour
   
3. Mama Lupe's Low Carb Tortillas
   
   I bought them in bulk and they're all going into the freezer.
   
   I will probably try this Unsweetened Shredded Coconut soon because the I Breathe I'm Hungry blogger is always using it and I can't find it unsweetened here...
   
   And I've always bought EZSweets on Amazon, I've never found it in stores anywhere.
   
   I'm having issues finding Pork Rinds in Hawaii by the way, so if you find a good spot to order them online, let me know.

Only $13.65 for a 5lb pack on Amazon.com with free next day prime shipping! http://www.amazon.com/Antimo-Caputo-Pizzeria-Flour-Repack/dp/B006XL9W7W/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?dd=uGJxKqdBNxkgPut_UbT4Pg%2C%2C&ddc_refnmnt=pfod&ie=UTF8&qid=1459375206&sr=8-1&keywords=00+flour&refinements=p_97%3A11292772011

Unless you have a health food store some where near you, the easiest thing is to order it from Amazon.

But I live in Alabama and we have it in the regular grocery store here.

It’s super easy to make yourself. I live in BFE and it’s tricky to find here too. You can get vital wheat gluten for about $8 and then follow a recipe like this one:

https://yupitsvegan.com/basic-homemade-seitan/

King Arthur Flour, Measure for Measure Flour, Gluten Free, 3 Pound (Pack of 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JJ9H1Q8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_9ek1Db88J4YE6

​

• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, to feed the yeast (NO SUGAR WILL BE REMAIN POST BAKE)*
  
• 1/3 cup waterlukewarm between 105-110°F
  
• 1 cup almond flour
  
• 1/4 cup golden flaxseed meal finely ground (or more almond flour**)
  
• 3 tablespoonspsyllium husk finely ground
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoonxanthan gum or 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 1 egg at room temperature
  
• 2 egg whites at room temperature
  
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  
  

1. Add yeast and maple syrup to a large bowl. Heat up water to 105-110°F, and if you don't have a thermometer it should only feel lightly warm to touch. Pour water over yeast mixture, cover bowl with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 7 minutes. The mixture should be bubbly, if it isn't start again (too cold water won't activate the yeast and too hot will kill it). 
   
2. Mix your flours while the yeast is proofing. Add almond flour, finely ground flaxseed meal (or more almond flour, see notes), psyllium husk, xanthan gum (more flaxseed meal), baking powder and salt to a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly mixed. Set aside. 
   
3. Once your yeast is proofed, add in the egg, egg whites, olive oil and vinegar. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer for a couple minutes until light and frothy. Add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing until thoroughly incorporated. You want to mix thoroughly and quickly to activate the xanthan gum, though the dough will become very thick by the end and form into a round. 
   
4. Line a pizza dish or baking tray with parchment paper and grease with olive oil (so the dough doesn't stick while you spread it). Dip a spatula (or your fingers) in water and spread the dough until even in thickness of choice. Fold the edges inward to create thicker edges (optional). Cover with a kitchen towel dome (don't rest the towel directly over the dough), and place in a warm draft-free space for 40-50 minutes until lighter in texture. You don't want the dough to double, but it will puff up noticeably (see pictures for reference). 
   
5. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C while the dough is proofing. And if you're baking at high altitude, you'll want to bake it at 375°F/190°C. 
   
6. Transfer the dish gently into the oven and blind bake without toppings for 10-14 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven, add toppings of choice, and return to oven for 15-18 minutes
   
   Side note. The yeast will eat any of the sugar from the maple syrup or honey. I really do suggest visiting the website for a more detailed analysis https://www.gnom-gnom.com/gluten-free-paleo-keto-pizza-crust/ .

I will echo what kane2742 said about buying things on Amazon, specifically with wheat gluten. I keep an eye on the prices because they have a tendency to fluxuate (I'm ambivalent to brands) and have been getting my wheat gluten on Amazon for much cheaper than the store. I was doing a subscribe and save for a while, until the price went up a few dollars and I de-subscribed, but I just resubscribed for this one.

Or you could buy it super in bulk for even cheaper. We just don't have the space.

I like Bob's Red Mill, which has 6g per 1/4 cup. In general, most brands I've found have roughly that amount. I would argue that it's very conservative to count 1g per egg - seems like most data I've seen suggest 4 eggs would contribute 1-2g total rather than apiece - but I can't fault you for caution against carb creep.

I find that using golden flax meal when baking cookies gives them that "oatmeal" feel! Bob's Red Mill has done me well (https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Organic-Flaxseed/dp/B001O8PRZA/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=golden+flaxseed&qid=1564402075&s=gateway&sr=8-5)

Here's Mary's Test Kitchen's seitan playlist (the playlist is ordered by date so the videos towards the end are probably better)

Making seitan from flour isn't a great idea, it's kinda time consuming, IIRC about the same price since you throw away part of the flour in the process (keeping only the gluten), you're better off getting "vital wheat gluten" from amazon

What I do is that I always have a batch of seitan in the freezer and I take from that when I need some, and make some more (of a different kind) when I'm almost out of it

OH YEAH this stuff is the jam, I find it acts and tastes the closest to real flour, pricier than red mill but so so so much better, doesn't have that gritty/sandy taste most gf flour has

I use Bob's: Bob's Vital Wheat Gluten

Add-ons are pesky

FLOUR BAM! Thanks for the contest.

There's also vital wheat gluten (1300g protein for 15 bucks) but it does take a considerable amount of time to prepare. You gotta boil or steam it for a while. Whenever I make it I always make a ton and freeze it.

My wife and I have ordered it from Amazon. I think its more expensive than you would find in a supermarket, but if you can't find it near you, this may be an option.

Here is the mobile version of your link

Try carbalose flour or Carbquik.

You can order it online or make your own from flour (never done it--but it's possible). Are you in South Africa? The latter method might be your most straightforward option.

I've made many many pizza's, but u/ThePoopSmith's pizza recipe has been my go-to for the last two years. It's phenomenal every time, and the weight-based recipe makes it fail-proof.

I use Antimo Caputo 00 bread flour but next time I'm going to give King Arthur a try.

probably not, corn starch is commonly used as an anti-caking agent, so it would probably keep the mixture from binding together. I usually get my wheat gluten online and in lasts me quite a while. Despite the social stigma surrounding gluten, it is actually an inexpensive source of quality protein. Gluten , Nutritional yeast flake

Yeah, that label is just messed up. Bob's Red Mill has 3g net per 14g (which is 2 tablespoons; I notice yours is labeled as 2tsp being 15g). I would go with this:

Vital wheat gluten = high protein, low carb.

Aka [seitan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food)

That's the problem I first had!!!!... I added dark rye flour to my starter and it made huge the difference. Actually, that's the only flour I used to feed my starter now and put some in the flour for the dough.

Nevermind my previous comment. Next time you see her throw a handful of this straight in her bitch face.
