Yesterday I had a regular come in to my work and ask which bread had the lowest G.I. rating.. unfortunately I lack the knowledge to provide him the information that he needed- so I decided since I love to make my own bread at home and experiment with new recipes, I will start posting healthy, grainy , heavy breads with a low glycemic index - I think everyone can benefit from that :) Here is a recipe I found on the internet, from:

Zero Carb Flax Bread
Ingredients:
2 Cups flax seed
5 Egg whites
2 Whole eggs
5 TBSP flax oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
1 TBSP Baking powder
1 TSP Salt
1/2 Cup of water
3 packets of stevia (If you are against using artificial sweeteners, I suggest using real sugar. They both raise your blood sugar anyways.)
Directions:
Mix all dry ingredients then add the wet. Whisk together and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. This recipe can also be made into muffins: divide batter into muffin pans and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
Since developing this recipe, I have made many different flavor varieties. A sweet chocolate bread can be made by adding Capella Flavor Drops. Some other awesome additions are pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and protein powder flavor of choice. Great topped with almond or peanut butter!
