Ingredients

1 cup water, warm 240 ml
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon honey, sugar, allulose or inulin **
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons allulose 45 grams (or two tablespoons of a non allulose sweetener)
½ cup oat fiber 60 grams
1¼ cup vital wheat gluten 150 grams
⅔ cup golden flax meal 70 grams
1 tablespoon psyllium (kind of rounded, so 8 grams) whole husks** 8 grams
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, softened to almost melted 28 grams (or 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil)

Instructions

Combine the 1 cup of water with yeast and honey (or allulose). Stir well and set aside to proof.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs with the whisk attachment for about a minute or until fluffy.
To the bowl with the eggs, add dry ingredients and the softened butter. Give the mixture a stir, then pour in the water/yeast mixture.
Stir by hand to make a soft dough. Attach dough hook and put bowl back on stand.
Knead for about 5 minutes or until the dough feels smooth and has some elasticity to it.
Grease an 8 ½ by 4 ½ inch loaf pan or two 3x6 inch loaf pans if making mini loaves. Press the dough into the pan, cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours. It should rise up about 1 inch over the pan (in the middle).
After your bread dough has risen, set it in a cold oven. Turn the heat to 350 degrees F and Set timer for 30 minutes. If you have an oven that preheats quickly your bread may be done. If your oven is slower to preheat, you'll need to add on another 10 minutes. To test to make sure the bread is done, poke a thermometer in it and make sure it's around or over 200 degrees F.

Notes

This bread can be sweetened with any low carb sweetener. Allulose is my sweetener of choice for this bread because it helps make the bread fluffy and it doesn't have an aftertaste. Allulose is less sweet than sugar so if using a different sweetener, you'll only need 2 tablespoons.

For the psyllium I used 8 grams. You can use it in whole husk form or powdered form as long as it is 8 grams.
