SPINACH BREAD!!!!!!

[umpa]

well you are a smart cookie beebs you will be okay!

Gonna try to make this today but forgot the garlic...I'll just use a little garlic powder instead.

[izzet]

Ok...I starting to make this and i see one head of roasted garlic in the recipe...ok I don't do well with fresh garlic so I bought crushed garlic...how much do I use?  

Update:  I used 1 tsp of crushed garlic and put in muffin pans.  Coming out of the oven now and they smell delicious.   Ok gonna try them with a little butter on them.

Result: WOW...they are wonderful with some butter on them.  Great job Umpa! Love them.  I might just have to take them to my Hallmark company picnic!

This is simply the best and easiest bread ever! We are so in love with this bread and it satisfies our "knead" for bread

Umpa, can you please clarify a couple of things for me here re the spinach bread.

I thought I had everything required, but when I went to make it, I didn't.  I substituted and it was divine anyway.  You're so clever!

My question are:

I had no whole garlic and thought that a whole head of garlic would be well, um, too garlicky, not to mention high in carbs?  Am I wrong here?  if 1 clove of garlic is 1 net carb, how much is a whole head of garlic?  is it multiplied by the amount of cloves in it?  Does that mean my 1 tsp of crushed garlic really reduced the total carbs in this bread?
I'm just trying to work out how many total carbs my bread was, because I'll be using it for a little while and want to work it out for my daily count.

The garlic is optional.If you have the carbs to spend use it because it is very good for you.(it is 1 carb per clove-i get 8 per head)Powdered garlic is lower in carbs if you want to use it.I make this in mini loafs too for dinner parties.

It is just delicious.  I had it as toast (didn't toast that great in the broiler, but who cares) and I was so full after breakfast!
I'm going to try it with zucchini

You can play around with different cheeses in it too Toddy.

[toddy44]

I did, I didn't have enough parmesan and didn't have mozzarella, so I put more extra old cheddar in it.  It was so delicious.  I had it for lunch as well as breakfast!

I am a little worried about the calculation though, because of the almond meal and not knowing what the total carbs are.  Should I go with the 18 carbs for the almond meal alone?  If so, mine came to about 29 carbs for the whole loaf, because the frozen spinach was 8.

That sounds so much higher than your 18 for the whole loaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts please?

[umpa]

I apologize.It is 28 carbs for the entire loaf.I will change it.that is omitting the garlic.Sorry !

[toddy44]

Oh thank goodness, I thought I was going mental!
I only had a clove of garlic, so it wasn't as much anyways.
I have no idea anymore if I calculated it correctly!

[umpa]

your not mental just a typo!!
