Before being diagnosed with Diabetes I loved going to Little Caesar’s weekly for their buffalo wings and Italian Cheese Bread. I have been looking for a good low carb recipe for this for over a year and have finally found something that I can live with.
Let me begin by saying that if you are newly Diagnosed with Diabetes or newly eating Low Carb you may want to wait a bit to try this. This is not going to be as wonderful and high carb as the original recipe. The first time that I had this I thought it needed something more so I gave it a boost and was very pleased with the end result.
The original recipe came from here.

If you go look at the picture from their site you will see that my bread looked nothing at all like hers. It did not rise as high but it was still good. Her recipe called for Parmesan and Romano Cheese. I added Asiago cheese as well.
Once it is done you will want to slice it into thin pieces and place it on its side. Coat with real butter and very heavily coat it with additional Parmesan Cheese and be heavy handed with the garlic. The first time I did not add enough garlic or Parmesan. Place under the broiler for a bit to brown. This was wonderful to me.
As you can see below I made my own Buffalo Wings using the recipe from this blog and 2 hours after eating when I tested my blood using my Glucometer my reading was only 103. What you see on the plate below was my entire meal.
Italian Cheese Bread
1/2 cup soy flour
1/3 cup soy protein
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup of Kraft blended Parmesan, Romano and Asiago Cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Water as needed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease a standard loaf pan with butter. Combine flour, protein, eggs, baking powder, sour cream, oil and cheeses in a bowl and mix well. (Yes, I use my Kitchenaid mixer with the flat beater). Add water, if needed. Dough should be firm but not over. Place dough in greased loaf pan and bake 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly, slice, and slather with garlic butter. You can also toast under a broiler or in a toaster over topped with your choice of cheese.
