Wow after being on plan with Trim Healthy Mama for over 2 years we finally have a Low Carb Yeast Bread!!
That is a big deal!!! This Loaf is a Fuel Pull unless you brush it with butter like I did so that it would take a pretty picture.

Most of the time when you try to use yeast with alternative flours it doesn’t work all that well because there is nothing to hold the CO2 in to help the bread rise. I’ve tried this not only with this recipe but also with my Simple Soda Bread recipe.
This recipe works the best for texture, I will say that if you decrease the yogurt in the soda bread it will also work well with the yeast, but that’s another blog post.
Adding Yeast to My Trim Healthy Mama Breads
I’ve been wracking my brain and trying many things to get yeast into some of my Trim Healthy Mama baking. Yes I know I do use it in my E baking, but the breads that are used in S meal settings just didn’t taste right to me or to my husband.
Personally I’ve been able to sub without an issue but he has not, until now. Let me tell you the smile on his face when he ate this was worth all the headaches and loaves that had to be thrown out, and yes there have been a few of those.
Using Other Baking Mixes to Make Low Carb Yeast Bread
Yes this Low Carb Yeast Bread works with RunAmok Mama’s Quick Mix. and my Low Carb Bakers Blend. I’m sure it will also work with Briana’s Baking Mix and with MamaShire’s Gluten Free Blend. I have not tested it with any of the other homemade baking blend recipes.
About Using Vital Wheat Gluten
I did add vital wheat gluten to this to help with structure, it is an optional ingredient so if you are gluten intolerant don’t worry this recipe will still work without it. (The photos are of my loaf without added gluten).
Vital Wheat Gluten is a wonderful tool if you can tolerate it. It is the protiens that help add structure to baked goods and allow them to rise properly. The Trim Healthy Mama Plan does not recommend the use of it in large quantities because the carbs in it can add up quickly.
Alternatives to using this ingredient include psyillium husks ( 1 tsp per 1 cup of flour) xanthan gum (1/4 tsp per 1 cup of flour) or unflavored protien powder ( in equal measurements). Using an alternative can change the texture of this basic low carb yeast bread so use caution when trying to sub with these ingredients.
If in doubt just leave it out.
Why I Use Silicone or Glass Bakeware to Make Low Carb Yeast Bread
I will say that I love using Silicone Loaf pans like these for these types of breads, it really cuts down on the possibility of the loaf sticking if you are using metal pans I would suggest lining them with parchment.
These are 8×4 loaf pans which make the smaller loaves but allow for a better shape to your loaf.
Glass bakeware can be your best friend in recipes like this low carb yeast bread. The rigid sides allow your bread to rise evenly and cooling the loaf in the pan for a bit helps it to keep it’s shape as it cools.
