▢2 teaspoons instant dried yeast (7g) See Note 3
▢2 eggs room temperature large eggs, See Note 4

Instructions
CONVENTIONAL METHOD
Combine inulin and yeast with water; cover with cling film and a silicone mat and leave in a warm place until yeast activates and almost doubles with foam. This can take 20-40 minutes.
Add all ingredients to mixer, including activated yeast. Using dough hook attachment knead dough for minimum 5 minutes (dough will be smooth, soft and supple but not wet)
Stretch dough out to large rectangle roughly as wide as your loaf tin. Roll dough over lengthwise to form a roll. Place into loaf tin seam side down.
Cover loaf with clean towel or silicone mat and leave in warm place for approximately 1 hour until loaf has risen.
Preheat the oven to 170℃/350°F. Line a 25.5cm x 13cm loaf tin. Bake 40-45 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
THERMAL METHOD
Add inulin, yeast and warm water to mixer; heat 2 min/37°C/speed 1. Leave lid on and leave for 10-15 minutes or until thick and foamy.
Place all ingredients into mixer; knead 5 min/dough setting. Follow from step 3 above.
Notes
Tips for the lowest carb bread.For yeast activation, the water should be warm but never hot.Inulin is a prebiotic fibre that can be used to activate yeast. Other keto sweeteners do NOT activate yeast. If you do not have inulin sugar or honey can be used (just 1 tsp) in its place. The yeast will consume the carbs of the sugar so don’t stress.Instant dried yeast is yeast powder that is available at most supermarkets. I do recommend using yeast for good rise in my low carbohydrate breads.I recommend milling golden flax seeds (also known as linseeds) before baking. I buy whole flax seeds and mill as needed. Using golden flaxmeal results in a nut free keto bread. A nut free low carb bread is also awesome for kids lunchboxes where nuts are not allowed in certain schools.Eggs should be large eggs and at room temperature. Refrigerated eggs will give the bread an eggy flavour. You can substitute just 3 egg whites if preferred. This will add protein to the bread without the added fats of the yolk.
