Quick Low Carb Onion Bread

Nothing tastes or smells better than fresh warm bread straight from the oven! This rustic onion bread with bacon is not only delicious, but also low carb and naturally gluten free! It also makes a great party snack with a tasty dip or spread.
Brotgewürz is a variety of bread spice mixtures often used in German bread making. It usually contains anise, caraway, fennel and corainder seeds, with the other additions or changes in amounts depending on tradition, taste, and the type of bread. If you can't find it, just grind 2 tablespoons of each anise, caraway, fennel and corainder seeds in a coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle.


2-3 Red onions, peeled and chopped 120 g Bacon, cut into smaller pieces 30 g butter 100 g Ground hazelnuts or walnuts 25 g Coconut flour 100 g Flaxseed, crushed 1 tbsp Baking powder 2 tbsp Brotgewürz (German bread spice blend) 1 tsp Dried thyme A large pinch of sea salt 5 Medium eggs 200 g Cottage cheese 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Cut the onion and bacon into small pieces.
Melt the butter in a pan, add the onion pieces and sautee briefly. Then add the bacon and fry it too. The bacon should not be overcooked but rather soft.
Place flaxseed, ground hazelnuts, coconut flour, Brotgewürz, thyme and salt in a bowl and mix together. Then stir in the eggs, cottage cheese and then the vinegar. Fold in the fried onions and the bacon from the pan and mix everything together until well combined.
Turn the mixture into a small loaf pan (20x10x7cm) and bake in the middle of hot oven for around 40 minutes.
Remove the baked bread from the oven and leave to cool on a rack. Slice and enjoy!

Lola Martínez 11/7/24 13:48: No me extraña que la cocina huela bien, con esas especias que le has puesto, es lo menos que puede pasar. Por sí mismo es una receta que no hace falta acompañar, llevando huevos y queso, es una comida perfecta.
Tom 11/7/24 13:53: ...low carb would be good for me.
DEZMOND 11/7/24 13:54: Lecker indeed, onions make life better! I still cannot turn on the oven as it is 43C here today, everything is dying from heat outside and inside aint much better either. I am on the edge of my nerves because I can no longer invent things to cook without oven LOL And it is not ending any time soon, it is 28C even at night. Death, death all around!
