Low carb bread recipe using chicory root inulin?

Does anyone have a low carb bread recipe using chicory root inulin?  Also willing to look at other recipes, but so far the companies bread that I have tried using chicory root has been the best so far.

When I enter "low carb" in the search box I get a lot of posts. Chicory also has many but not so many for inulin.

Is your goal a low carb bread or a high fiber bread or possibly a bread that has a low glycemic index? Real sourdough is supposed to have a lower glycemic index than other bread but it is not low carb. Are you trying to ingest inulin? I believe the clear fiber supplements are inulin but I don't know if they are chicory derived. More information would be helpful.

Any bread can be made high fiber by simply adding inulin and adjusting the liquids according to need. Low carb bread recipes are usually available on Atkins or South Beach sites. I'm not sure if they use chicory inulin but look through some of the blogs on low carb eating. It could be that gluten free recipes might be helpful. Many nut flours are used which are naturally lowcarb.

What bread are you trying to emulate?

Please take a look at the results of using the search box. You may find your answers there.

Just add chicory inulin and probably some additional liquid.

Trying to emulate ThinSlim low carb bread.  I will try the search engine and see what I can find.  I already bake with nut flours and eat low carb for the most part.  Just cant find a good bread recipe up until I tried the ThinSlim bread (1 net carb).

Ingredients in ThinSlim low carb bread:

Non-GMO Kosher Parve Ingredients: wheat protein isolate, vital wheat gluten, oat fiber, modified wheat starch, almond flour, flax seed meal, olive oil, chicory root, high protein patent flour, apple cider vinegar, yeast, salt, stevia

These ingredients are available to you with a little effort. You will need to experiment a bit with amounts/ratios. I believe there was another thread I responded to you and provided a link to a post that had similar ingredients.
