Instructions

CONVENTIONAL METHOD

Place the bread mix, yeast sachet and warm water into a mixer bowl. Mix with dough hook for 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a silicone mat or towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
Transfer the dough to workbench or silicone mat. Gently knead the dough to expel some of the air. Divide the dough into quarters and shape each quarter into a ball.
Cover a ball of dough with a large sheet of baking paper and press down. Using a rolling pin roll out into a large oval shape about 10-15 mm thick. Using a dough scraper or knife cut a slit through the centre, careful to not go all the way to the ends of the dough. Cut 3-4 slits on either side of the centre cut creating "leaf veins". Gently stretch open each of the slits. Place the flatbread onto a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with each quarter. Cover and leave in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
Brush the bread with avocado oil and season well with ranch, rosemary, lime zest and chilli flakes.
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and lightly golden. Leave to cool on baking trays. Serve with your favourite dip, soup or stew.

THERMAL METHOD

Place the bread mix, yeast sachet and warm water into the mixer, mix dough setting/5 min. Leave in the mixer covered for 1 hour.

Notes

The Atkins Bread mix only requires warm water for it to be made as per the package instructions. This low carb focaccia style flatbread uses just a few more ingredients to make it incredibly delicious. You will need;

Atkins Bread Mix - available in most supermarkets. The bread mix is a seedy mix using flour that is low carb, high in protein and fibre. It is suitable for the Atkins Diet and for a low carb diet. It does contain wheat gluten and is not suited to a gluten-free diet.

Avocado Oil - I use avocado oil for most of my keto recipes. You can however use any oil you prefer. Extra-virgin olive oil would be a great alternative.

Ranch Seasoning - I use my simple homemade Ranch Seasoning recipe to make my own. However, any store-bought ranch can be used. Alternatively, use any seasoning you prefer. Italian Seasoning is also very delicious!

Seasoning - I like to use fresh rosemary, lime zest and chilli flakes. Use what you love the most, but these together are amazing. Another great alternative is Tajin seasoning.

Is there a substitute for the bread mix?

You can use our Low Carb Bread recipe for the dough if preferred.

Is the Atkins Bread Mix gluten-free?

No, it isn’t. It contains low carb, high protein wheat flour.

Can I freeze the bread?

You can freeze both the bread unbaked and baked. If you freeze the dough after mixing you will need to defrost and place it into a warm place for an hour before baking.

Can I make the Atkins Bread Mix in a breadmaker?

Yes, you can! There is instructions on the packet for you. It suggests using a 500g weight for a multigrain loaf.

The bread mix is really seedy, is there a way to reduce the seeds?

Yes, you can. Sieve the mix to remove some of the seeds or alternatively quickly mill the mixture in a high-speed blender to reduce the seeds a little.
