In addition to the baking mix, they also sell the flour by itself
under=20 the name "carbalose" for around 2.50 a pound.


That would be something like 2 one-pound loaves.

You may wish to offset that cost by using it in addition to flour-and
what we do here is use 8% oatmeal as a high-fiber ingredient to slow
carb uptake. You won't achieve as low a carb product as you'd wish, but
it would be lower (especially if you use reduction and cut the slices
thinner) than "normal."


Thanks for that, Brian. What kind of oatmeal do you use? All I have at the
moment is pinhead.
