Super Bread

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s SUPER BREAD! Okay so hopefully this bread isn’t flying in the air because that means you probably didn’t like it. I want to share with you a bread I recently tried at a coffee shop in Christiansburg, VA called Lucie Monroe’s.  One of my classmates told me they make a really good no-carb bread that is made out of flax seed. I didn’t believe her until I saw the ingredients myself! I wasn’t sold until I took a bite of my sandwich and thought I was in heaven. To make a long story short, I found a similar recipe online and then made some changes (replacing some of the flax with almond meal) to fit my needs. Introducing – SUPER BREAD! Perfect for sandwiches while really bulking up your daily fiber and healthy fat intake.
