I started a low carb, keto-derived diet back in July of '22 - it is now February of 23 and I have lost 85 lbs. I was pretty heavy before the pandemic overtook us, and gained almost 40 lbs. during that period. Something had to be done so I chose Keto. Of all the sacrifices one makes, the most difficult for me is good bread (like baguette - you can get decent enough things like hot dog and hamburger buns and basic loaf bread for toast or simple sandwiches from the grocery store to solve for that) and, or course, noodles. You can make a pretty decent pizza from this, but it makes very good baguette style loaves.
I use 1.5 cups of 110 degree F water to which I add 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbs of the flour mixture and the yeast packet. Put the rest of the dry ingredient packet into the bread machine, add a tsp salt and 6 tbs oil (I use avocado). After the yeast slurry is frothy (about 10 minutes), pour into the dry ingredients. Run the machine on dough mode - takes about 90 minutes for the mix, kneed, rise cycle. Dump the dough out onto a well oiled surface, cut in half, take each half and spread it out with your fingers (if it sticks to your fingers, get more oil your fingers) to form a rough rectangle about 5" by 13". Roll the dough lengthwise into a log about 1.5" in diameter by 13". Place seam side down on well oiled baguette pan (like: https://www.amazon.com/KITESSENSU-Nonstick-Baguette-Perforated-Baguettes/dp/B0912CCQSN/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1MBKO7NJL7CUB&keywords=baguette+pan&qid=1677423342&sprefix=baguette+pan%2Caps%2C343&sr=8-5). Repeat for second half of dough. Preheat to 400 degrees F for extra long - that is, after the oven preheats let it continue for 15 or so minutes to get all the oven surfaces good and hot. In the mean time, brush the top of the loaves liberally with oil or melted butter. I sometimes sprinkle the top with sesame seeds, everything bagel seeds or just leave it plain. Put the pan in the oven on the center rack and toss a handful of ice cubes into the bottom of the oven (important; makes the crust wonderfully crispy in just the right way). Close the oven quickly and bake for 40 minutes. It won't remind of that summer you spent in Paris, but damn is it satisfying.
King Arthur makes a Keto flour they sell by the pound. I tried the same recipe with that and it doesn't work. Doesn't rise right, and tastes bitter. NOT the same. The Keto pizza box provides 2 decent sized baguettes for around $3.50 each. I think that is worth it - and they are delicious. If you need to store it, let it cool, put in a bag and refrigerate (no preservatives) or freeze. When you take it out, it will be damp/moist - re-bake at 400 deg. for 10 to 15 minutes and viola!
Oh, by the way. That King Arthur Keto Flour (which does not make the best bread to be sure), makes WONDERFUL NOODLES! One cup flour + 4 egg yolks + dash of salt. Kneed until smooth (can be very sticky), wrap in plastic wrap, put in fridge for an hour. Use it with a pasta machine as normal. The noodles come out with a slight al dente mouthfeel. What I mean by that is that if you boil them for 10 minutes or for 45 minutes they are al dente. Period. I make lasagna and reheat in the oven the noodle consistency remains the same. I don't know why, but consider it a fringe benefit.
For those who bemoan the "non-Keto"-ness of the presence of flour in the KA pizza mix I can only reply with: a.) my starting weight (335), b.) my current weight (248 and falling) and my pronouns, which are "Jimmy" and "Crackcorn".
A successful diet has much less to do with rule following than it does successful, healthy weight loss combined with *sustainability*. With access to a decent bread and a palatable noodle recipe I can be on Keto literally forever.
Long live the King.
