Carbalose Flour
 

Has anyone ever tried to bake bread using Carbalose Flour? It's a flour
that is treated with certain enzymes so most of the carbs are not
digestible. I tried to bake a bread with it but it came out too dense
and heavy.

Has anyone used it successfully?

I've used it for pancakes and as a coating for fried food.
Never tried making bread with it, probably because I'm
not that big on bread in general.

I tried it to make pancakes once. Okay but unimpressive. It was the
Atkins flour substitute so probably not exactly the same product.

I am extremely dubious of claims like "treated with certain enzymes so
most of the carbs are not digestible". It makes me think of those
noodles that kicked so many out of ketosis. Cool sounding claims that
aren't true when a lot of folks try the product. If it's made from a
mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber wouldn't they say so?

I've used it, but generally not straight-up. Rather, I often have used
it in the past in combination with almond or soy flours. I've never
baked bread with it as you tried. Did you increase the leavening agent,
lower baking temp by 25F and increase baking time (relative to regular
flour) as it suggests?
