Tried And True Low Carb Bread Recipe

Soul Bread uses whey protein as the low carb flour substitute. But be aware that not all whey protein powders produce a good result. These two brands have proven to work well. These brands are Nature’s Best ISOPURE Whey Protein and Hoosier Hill Farm Whey Protein Powder. If you know of another brand that works with this recipe, let us know in the comments below.

Most of the breads you buy have some sugar added for better tast. In this recipe it is optional to add some sweetener such as Stevia or liquid sucralose.
