THANKSGIVING: LOW CARB STUFFING CUBES (click here to print)

1/4 cup coconut flour
1 cup almond flour
2 cups golden flax seed
4 teaspoons baking powder (without cornstarch or make your own)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 eggs 
1 cup water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  In a medium sized bowl, mix all dry ingredients together; add eggs, water, vinegar and oil and mix well.  Dough will be thick and a bit sticky and slightly springy feeling.  Let the dough sit for about 5 minutes while you prepare the baking pan.  Line a baking pan or cookie sheet with non-stick foil lightly brushed with oil (or parchment paper sprayed or brushed with oil).  Place ball of dough in the center of the pan and begin pressing the dough outward using a lightly oiled rubber spatula to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.  Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is lightly golden and feels done when pressed near the center. This makes a 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick "stuffing bread".  

Remove bread from oven and transfer to a rack; let cool for approximately 10-15 minutes.  Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees F.  Place cooled bread on a cutting board and cut into approximate 1/2-inch cubes; place cubes back on baking sheet and return to 300 degree oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until cubes are dried and crisp (when done, cubes should be hard when pinched or gently squeezed).  When bread cubes are thoroughly dry, hard and toasty, remove from oven and let cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container or Ziploc-type bag to keep moisture out until ready to use.  Makes approximately 6 to 7 cups of toasted dried bread cubes.  Use in your favorite stuffing recipe.
