| Bread Machine Low Carb Breads These recipes are for a 1 pound bread machine. I use these recipes all the time. I also add 1/2 tsp sugar to help the bread to rise better. The sugar is totally consumed by the yeast and does not contribute to the carb count. So here are my favorite recipes that I bake all the time:

1 tablespoon soft butter
1 egg

1/4 cup psyllium husks unflavored ( I get this at the health food store)
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup vanilla-flavored whey protein powder ( I get this at WalMart or at the health food store)
2 teaspoons yeast
1/2 tsp sugar to feed the yeast so the bread will rise better.
Put the indredients in your bread machine in the order given and run the machine . I like to use the whole wheat program cycle.
