That would be something like 2 one-pound loaves.
and some change. Depends on the usual weight of your cup, and 2 cups to
a pound loaf.
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."
For specialty diets, the rules to achieve a "just-like" are simple..
either dilution or reduction. In this case, I'm advising both. Dilute
your regular flour with whatever the lower-carb stuff is, and eat less.
Thanks for that, Brian. What kind of oatmeal do you use? All I have
at the moment is pinhead.
Just oatmeal. I don't use "gourmet" products in every day foods.
