Oh Wow, it's bread!!!

In the ongoing quest to eliminate gluten from my life once and for all I find that sandwiches are what ALWAYS brings me back.  Bread and wheat gluten and I are like dysfunctional lovers. I know it's bad for me.  He's going to make me feel like garbage, but he's SO delicious I can't stay away... 

It's really pathetic.  

Unfortunately, in the years I've been trying to break up with gluten I've tried numerous recipes and methods claiming to replicate what I missed most.  Most we're too starchy and crumbly, and often made me feel just as bad as wheat without tasting nearly as yummy.  Others just tasted bad.  Not one recipe for bread or pizza dough lived up to the hype.

That is until now!  

Behold:  Psyllium Husk Powder!  Most people know of this lovely stuff because of it's high levels of insoluble fiber.  This is the stuff in a lot of over the counter fiber supplements.  It's a dieters dream as it keeps you regular, can make you feel full, AND now, it's magically helping GF breads to taste, well, bready!  

Last night I tried a recipe from the website: www.mariamindbodyhealth.com
It was for her "Amazing Sub Rolls".  She's not lying!  They take 10 minutes to mix up, they cook quick, and they taste awesome!  Made with either almond flour or Coconut flour they're high fiber, lower calorie and relatively high in protein.  They're ALSO Paleo and Whole 30 compliant.  

I served them with Paleo meatballs and a little Daiya dairy free cheese melted on top... Oh. My.... My meatball sub dreams were answered.  

So check out Maria's website and her other recipes too'. This one's a keeper!

(Just an FYI:  This was the WHOLE sub!  It serves 2-4)
