This bread mix is very good. The bread is a little chewy, but has a good flavor. I have to use the manual cycle and bake it in the oven in two pans, as my bread machine has only a 1-1/2 lb. capacity. The first time I used it, the bread rose so high it popped the top off and didn’t finish baking. So if you don’t have a 2 lb. machine, you’ll have to bake it in the oven.

Being a Bob’s Red Mill fan, I bought Bob’s Red Mill Low-Carb Bread Mix, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) on a whim to try it. I have a bread machine, but hadn’t used it it a long while (like many folks, I suspect). Plus, I have been watching carbs but I love bread. If you are a fan of low-carb bread (if it’s possible to be a fan of anything low-carb), I think you will enjoy this product. It produces a large loaf of fluffy, light but a bit chewy bread — great for slicing or tearing up by hand. It has a nice wheaty taste and doesn’t have that cardboardy consistency/taste that many low-carb products have. It uses half-and-half as one of its ingredients, which I think makes it fluffy. My only quibble: I have a two-pound bread machine and the bread consistently overflows the top of the machine at the end of the baking cycle — creating a mushroom-like top to the loaf. So, the top is a bit underdone. I am going to try baking it in the regular oven the next time and see if that is better. Again, Bob’s Red Mill products aren’t cheap, but they are very high quality and the four packages produce four large loaves of bread that stay fresh for quite a while and travel well. (I often tuck one into my suitcase when I travel.)

This stuff is a bit tricky to get to rise correctly… but it tastes as decent as any low-carb bread I’ve ever had. Perfect for a diabetic or low-carb dieter.
