Guys, I just made TOAST! Carnivore TOAST! There's a whole story about it on my site (link below) but if you're like me you'll skip to the recipe anyway - hahaha - so here it is, copied & pasted:
"I don't measure anything. I rarely follow recipes. I go by the seat of my pants when I cook. So I can share the approximate amounts of each ingredient that I used. But it's only a guide and certainly not written in stone. Feel free to use your own pants if you try this!
"I have a limited selection of baking dishes so I just chose a regular (Pyrex) loaf pan and buttered it, then set it aside. And I preheated my oven to 350°F.
"In a bowl I mixed together thoroughly about 1/3c of egg whites, 2T of full-fat Greek yogurt, and a Tbsp of oil (avacado in this case). When it was smooth, I added about 1/4c of chicken flour, 3 turns of pink salt, 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum, 2 tsps of beef gelatin, and 2 tsps of yeast (for the scent), and mixed it all until very smooth and creamy. Finally, I added a rounded teaspoon of baking powder from which I'd smashed out the clumps; mixed that into the batter quickly, scraped it into my loaf pan (it was only about an inch high), and put it in the oven.
"20 minutes later it was done and I put the whole pan on a cooling rack; about 20 minutes after that I was able to easily and cleanly lift the loaf out, cut it in half across the middle, then slice each half through the center to create 4 slices of more-or-less square bread."
(which I then toasted, the way my Gram taught me!)
@ChiaChatter@KetoPlus I had never heard of meat flour... Wow apparently you can make it with multiple passes in a food processor and a microwave?? 🤯
As for the "bread", I'm feeling like its sort of like a crisped chicken meatloaf texture-wise? I mean chicken flour is chicken striped of fat and moisture. Then the egg whites, yogurt and oil make a creamy mayo like substance, xanthan gum and beef gelatin gives it some resiliency? Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, I make my chicken flour using my food processor and air fryer. And it actually has no chicken flavor at all, no meat flavor, and a definite bready texture. I know that many recipes use pork rind flour but that DOES have a definite flavor to it. The yogurt adds fat and interacts nicely with the baking powder for rise! And yup, xanthan gum (common gluten replacement) and gelatin are for the texture and chew.
I was quite surprised, expecting it to be more similar to the others I've tried!

Of all the carnivore bread replacements I've tried this was definitely the best!
Though carnivore isn't for everyone, and the same can be said for the replacement foods that are used :). Stick with what works for you, as always...and thanks for your thoughts!

Mainly because it has resolved so many of my physical issues. I have had multiple disabilities for many years, and using food to reduce their impact is giving me my life back.
I appreciate your concern for a complete stranger, and your caring heart! Thanks for writing back!
