I used this flaxseed bread recipe. It turned out as dense as a brick! I had to add 100ml more water just to form it into a shape and not crumble apart. It didn't rise at all. Recipe says to use golden flaxseeds and to grind them yourself. I don't have a grinder so I have to use ready made flaxseed flour which apparently doesn't work as well because they are defatted. Has someone had success with this recipe using ready made brown flaxseed meal? Would adding some oil back into the recipe solve the problem?
My sole goal is to get more fiber in this way.

I have to say, that is a VERY impressive bowel movement though.
Was this before or after eating it?
Ah the good ole self defense brick. Made them myself.
Iâve never made bread with it. If you use flax seed you only want preground golden. Brown is a cardboard box.
you need to eat more fiber

yeah don’t make bread like that. I recommend the method with lots of mozzarella and some almond flour. The only keto bread that I think works is the stuff made mostly from cheese. It’s also the hardest recipes to physically make.
I gotta be honest – I saw the picture without reading the text, and my first thought was that “add more fiber to your diet” was going to be the solution to your, um, problem.
Your issue likely is the exact thing you identified. I was around during the early early days of gluten free, when everything tasted like cardboard. These alternate recipes have a thousand failed attempts behind them.
You can likely do a good job grinding flax seed in your blender by just pulsing until you get a nice meal texture. I’ve done this with other grains before. A cheap coffee grinder would also likely get the job done.
Good luck!
Could try using yeast to make the bread rise.
I make a lot of nut bread but haven’t gotten around to it yet but yeast is a great way to make bread rise and give it a more soft/fluffy texture.
(I haven’t gotten around to using yeast yet as it’s more than just “add yeast”)

Just my two cents: I was keto for almost a decade. Every single time I attempted to bake keto bread, I was disappointed with the final product. I eventually learned that the products for sale were superior go anything I could make on my own.
There’s the cow dung thief!!!
At least 7.5 courics
Looks like you over kneaded it. I havenât made keto bread, but my attempts at making normal bread that came out super dense was because worked the dough too muchÂ

Well you tried at least! The recipe does say, “Do NOT use pre-ground flaxseed meal, as that wonât work since some brands are defatted.”
I would add a cup of almond flour to it. Plus an egg to bind it. I also add some Xantham Gum to my bread recipes.
My fav keto bread recipe to make: https://youtu.be/OHJdHPKAMXg?si=cu2C2JZFqw7ux-8J
I thought this was super dry meat loafâŠâŠ
Put it in the toilet while pretending to poo, maybe some farr spray and scream, and yell then fall on the ground in the same building you are in with someone you love, but like to prank.
Use some red food coloring too. Don’t record it. Just say “I GOT YOU GOOD, FUCKER!”
All I have to say is r/eatityoucoward
Slice it thin and use plenty of butter.
I’ve had lots of success with this site https://sugarfreelondoner.com/low-carb-bread-chia-almond-bread/#recipe
I don’t have the answer.
I’ve been eating “Daves Good Seed bread” for exactly the reason you specified. Definitely NOT KETO.
But definitely works for resolving constipation.
Mainly, I’m pretty convinced, due to flaxseed. Most of which seems to be in there whole, not ground.
I’ve been tinkering with ideas, to make bread like you. The Daves is very high carbs even for a normal meal, not a keto meal.
Any way you can consume the flaxseed might help.
Okay I can relate to this. Let me guess it came out like a brick but was almost gooey in texture? I have just given up on making a dark flaxmeal loaf. I have however had success with flaxmeal flatbread and microwave single serve bread. I also had success in the oven with smaller portions in a baking mould for bars. About the size of a Weetbix. Look on YouTube for the flaxmeal microwave bread and wraps. There’s some good cottage cheese and almond flour bagel recipes on YouTube and I’ve also seen 2 ingredient bagels with almond flour and Greek yoghurt. Use the flaxmeal for microwave bread and crackers. It just does not work as a loaf. I bake a lot and I have tried and tried and when you have a large amount like that it just won’t cook properly. You could break it into smaller portions and try buns but even that doesn’t always work. The microwave bread will. Somewhere on YouTube there’s a recipe for flaxmeal and coconut flour buns. They work as long as you keep them small. It’s much easier to just make the microwave bread and toast it though.
Look for quality finely grounds golden flaxseed meal and buy that. Then, use this bread to remove dry skin on your heels and elbows until it’s the approximate shape and size of a puck. Invite a bunch of Canadian kids over, and play street hockey until the street lights come on. CAR!
Everyone thinking it looks like poo. My first thought was daaaamn that’s a lot of hash.
