Ooh, though, I'm a big fan of low-carb bread. Sure, it's a dumb phrase, but since low-carb dieters don't count fiber in their carb counts, what it actually means is "high-fiber low-sugar bread".
Low sugar and low starch, isn't it? (I do so miss the late 80s/early 90s pravda where complex carbohydrates were supposed to be a good thing. :-) ) Some of them aren't bad (albeit somewhat crumbly), though others attempt to replicate the texture of softer bread by adding stuff that imho just makes it weird and unpleasant. (It's sort of an unacquired taste for me-- the local bread store has a low-carb bread that I loved the first time I had it, but I couldn't even finish the second loaf we bought-- IIRC, it used tofu, among other things, to give it body.) Natural Ovens brand low-carb breads are okay, though.
