6 Low Carb And Gluten Free Bread Recipes

Bread happens to be a major part of the modern diet and is our favorite every day meal, be it breakfast or dinner, bread rolls, buns and garlic bread have to show up. However bread is considered to be high in carbohydrates and many people are intolerant to gluten. According to experts, "A gluten-free diet is a diet that strictly excludes gluten, which is a mixture of proteins found in wheat, as well as barley, rye, and oats. The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial, and may depend on the oat cultivar and the frequent cross-contamination with other gluten-containing cereals." 

Low-carbohydrate diets restrict carbohydrate consumption relative to the average diet. Foods high in carbohydrates are limited, and replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of fat and protein, as well as low carbohydrate foods so that the body starts producing energy from fats and proteins and helps the dieter to lose weight. Many bread lovers miss on their favorite bread recipes due to being on a carb free diet and intolerant to gluten.
