Equipment

  • 2 Mini Bundt Pan Sets
  • mini food processor
  • Citrus Juicer

Ingredients

Paska

  • ¼ cup Heavy cream
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup Coconut flour
  • 1 cup Super fine almond flour
  • ½ cup Unflavoured whey protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ¾ cups Granulated sugar substitute
  • ¼ cup Butter room temperature
  • 2 Large eggs
  • cup Orange juice Juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange - see notes!
  • Zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange

Instructions

Paska

  • Measure heavy cream and water into a microwave safe bowl. Heat just to warm - not hot.
  • Stir in yeast and 1 teaspoon of the coconut flour, allow to stand for 10 minutes – it should get very bubbly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining coconut flour with the almond flour, protein powder, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a mini food processor, blitz sugar substitute until it’s a fine powder. Add softened butter, blitz until well blended.
  • Add eggs, blitz again until well combined.. Add ⅓ cup of the juice and all of the zest, blitz one more time to combine.
  • Add citrus mixture and yeast mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients, stir well to combine.
  • Arrange 2 sets of silicone mini bundt pans on a large cookie sheet, spray with pan spray.
  • Divide dough into into prepared the prepared mini bundt pans, filling each about half full. I like to spoon the dough into a large pastry bag and pipe it in, I find it a lot less messy.
  • Cover pans with plastic wrap, and allow to rise somewhere warm for one hour, or until they’re about 50% bigger than they were.
  • Preheat oven to 350F (180 C).
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Check for doneness - insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, it's done. If not, continue baking until it's fully baked.
  • Cool Paska for 5 minutes, then gently turn pans over onto a serving dish to continue cooling.

Notes

The recipe software doesn't take sugar alcohols into account when calculating.
The sugar alcohols account for 12grams of the listed carbs per serving.
Add that to the 2 grams of fiber per serving (14 grams of deductible crabs), and you're left with 3 grams of net carbs per serving.

A note on the juice:
You'll want to zest your lemon and orange, then juice them together. Measure ⅓ cup for the batter, the rest will be used for the glaze.
