How much yeast equals a packet? I bought a cannister and it's not in packets.

I utterly despise yeast. It never works right for me. I made my bread sticks with milled flaxseed and they look like giant turds sigh......I need a personal helper. At least I havent hurt myself.

Hi Again!

I was wondering since you used the Hazelnut flour, I thought this the other day, if anyone has ground any other nuts to cook with. I think the pecans are low carb too, and I thought of trying them! Is the Hazelnut, just nuts ground like the Almond flour? I don't care for the soy flour taste, but would like to add another nut flour.

I just used 2 cups of almond flour and 1 cup of milled flaxseed. I think they were good that way. I still havent found hazelnut flour...

Beebs, my small food processor works well for grinding the Almonds, and I only grind what I am using to keep it fresh! I also have used my blender attachment for making smoothies!! ha ha it worked

So....you can make your own flour by grinding up the nut until it's very fine...like in a coffee grinder?  That's amazing...I know so little. lol

Yikes!  I guess I'd rather spend the money on the food than equipment...so I'll get the almond flour. lol

You mentioned using Vital Wheat Gluten Flour to help the yeast rise but I missed how much to use!
Would using Whey protein in place of the Soy protein (as long as it has 0 carbs) work as well?
Thanks for all your wonderful insight!!!!!! :)

I just found a small blender & chopper made by Biggest Loser for $19.99 at Ross for Less.  I just love it and it's suppose to be able to grind coffee and nuts, etc.  Haven't tried that yet but for the price and it's compactness it's working great for me...might want to see if you can find one Beebs.
