Hi, thinking about a bread machine when the $ are there, any reccomendations?
Thanks,
Elaine

Hello. I just bought a bread machine from Amazon.com. It's the Westbend 41077 Just for Dinner Bread Maker. $31.99 makes about a half-loaf of bread in 45 minutes.

I just tried it out right now with CarbSense Harvest Wheat Bread Mix. Zero carbs per slice.

Amazingly good for lc. Nice chewy bread. I live at a high altitude so I added a little water.

The reason I picked this machine is that it got really good ratings, as well as a thumbs up from a low-carber for the bread mixes.

Wish I could do a simple cheap recipe as good as this.

Where did you find the bread mix?

Breadman Ultimate....the best!

I bought this bread mix (which you can use for either a bread machine or in the oven) at my local Vitamin Cottage at $4.19 per box (my half-loaf bread maker uses half the box to make about 6 or seven nice slices).

It's also available online at http://www.netrition.com at $5.19 per box. Their prices are usually pretty good.

Looks like there are two different labels... Mine says Harvest Wheat Bread Mix for bread machines and conventional ovens, the ones I see on line say Harvest Wheat Bread Machine Mix. I think it's the same stuff.

Here's more online sites:

GNC sometimes carries this type of stuff.

I tried it out on my husband yesterday and he was surprised how good it tasted. It had a nice bakery smell and flavor--a little chewier than regular bread but I like my bread that way anyhow.

As a side note, I use the CarbSense regular baking mix to bread fish (I add a tbsp of garlic, pepper, salt and onion flakes to this LC flour and simply dip in catfish, tilapia, etc., then pan fry it in a couple of tbsps of grapeseed oil, and it is fabulous.

CarbSense Harvest Wheat Bread Mix actually has 3 net grams of carbohydrate per serving. My mistake. Their standard bake mix has zero grams of carbs.
