i read the accidental bread recipe and had to try it IMMEDIATLY.

so have just made my first "loaf"

i put salt, pepper, grated cheese and italian mixed herbs. It is cooling as we speak and smells great. Not soyish at all.

i put a little cream in the mixture as it seemed to doughy and that did the trick. What a fantastic discovery this is PJ !!!!!

hats off to you

I tried to send you a private message, but this forum still tells me I don't have authorization to do that...

Please let me know how it goes. I got sidetracked, forgot about the bread until it turned green, then had to toss it. I am getting ready to try something again tomorrow, and I'd love some feedback on how yours went!

PJ

hi pj

no doubt about it... it is BREAD !!!!!!!!!

BREAD
BREAD
BREAD!!!!!!

it has cooled down enough to eat and it tastes just like herb bread. I put butter on it and had a slice. It was so breadish that i got a shock!! i even think it will be toastable.

i used natural flavor soy protein powder. I will put a little chopped onion and bacon in it next time as well. Let me know how you get on with yours if you decide to make it.

as i said before
you are one smart cookie ( a low carb one of course)

aw shucks. Beginner's luck. I was trying for a mock danish after all, with protein, I just got a hopelessly wrong result, which struck me as having real potential! I will try this tomorrow, with the herb seasonings as you suggest, and see how it works out. I have a slightly-naughty (but still within plan in moderation) garlic-cheese "toastez" spread that I would just oooooze with joy if I could have once in awhile... but I gotta have something to spread it on! And buying the (frankly, icky) low-carb loaves could make anybody broke. So this is a good find!

Regards,
PJ

P.S. By the way, according to your stats, your goal is to weigh 60 pounds?! So.... you're not like a typing sheepdog or anything right?

hehehehehehehehe

kilograms!!!! 2.2pounds=1kg

but i have a sheepdog. His name is Jett and he is a black kelpie. He is very smart but i dont think he can type.

Sammie,
Could you send me the recipe. It sounds wonderful. I would love to have bread once in a while.

Please post it here - I tried to figure it out by going back over this thread (which I've been following) but somewhere the actual mixture you're using gets lost......

I might go to the health food store at lunchtime to buy some soy protein powder....hopefully GNC will have it!

Mind,
I go to South Point ohio and they do carry it but Walmart did have it cheaper. I would also like the recipe.

Most people I've talked with think Soy protein is yucky... and it's amazing hers turned out so well! The taste of the protein powder is pretty critical for anything you make with it. Some say eggwhite or whey is best for taste, but I think it depends entirely on the brand to be honest, there are brands that are decent or terrible for every type. Try searching on this board and at the eatprotein.com board on 'protein powder', there is a lot of discussion about it.
Best regards,
PJ

actually the "bread" has a very muffin like consistancy but it is still nice.

the protein powder i used has virtually no taste at all and i put heaps of herbs in it override any lingering taste ( i loath and detest anything soy) I use Life brand soy protein powder, it says natural on the container as opposed to vanilla etc

PJ'S ACCIDENTAL HERB BREAD

200g cream cheese (soften in micro for 20 secs)
2 eggs
beat until well no lumps
1tbs olive oil
1tsp salt
pepper to taste
chopped onion
mixed italian herbs
big handful of grated cheese
enough soy protein to make a dough
(i made the dough a little to stiff do i added some cream)
put in a small square container to imitate a loaf (there is not alot of mixture here so a small one is the best)
microwave for 4 mins or so. Mine looked slightly gluggy in the middle but after standing for about 2 mins that went.

i thinly sliced it, toasted it and had it with scrambled eggs- it was good.

i made mine quite herby as i was scared of any soy taste at all but just do the herbs as you like them in meat sauce.

Mindyd................have you tried looking at a Fred Meyers.............they carry great stuff in bulk that would otherwise cost an arm and a leg...

Marcie

Sammie,
I copied and pasted and printed it out. Thanks, I will give it a try. I do miss my toast in the morning.

WOW! I finally tried the mock danish. What was I waiting for???? Hat's off to Nat for introducing the fabulous treat! I made mine with the cinnamon and then 1/2 way through added s.f strawberry preserves and butter. again, WOW!
Can't wait to try the other variations.
Lisa

Marcie,

Thanks for trying, but we don't have any of those around here...I don't know of any place for bulk stuff like that in my area....oh well.

Haven't tried the "bread" yet - haven't had time!

Mindy

I can't figure it out. My 'accidental bread', initially, tasted rather icky/bland but I figured with herbs it'd work.

Her revision worked for her; the primary difference is she added herbs, some oil, and 'enough soy protein powder to make a dough' and I'd added just 1/4c whey powder.

Last night I tried her revised version, except I quit after 3/4c whey protein powder, even though it wasn't doughy. And I added super-fine-shredded parmesan and finely chopped pepperoni.

I sliced it, put lots of butter on it and toasted it in the broiler.

It was revolting. Honestly I don't think it tasted any better this time than it did the first time I made it.

I am wondering if this is my protein powder... or what.
