1. Mix together your “flour” ingredients (lupin flour, vital wheat gluten, and oat fiber) in a bowl & whisk until evenly distributed. Set aside.
2. In your stand mixer bowl, add instant yeast, sugar (or Inulin), and filtered (or distilled) water warmed to 80°F (*see note 1 for water temperature adjustments). To ensure that your yeast is active (& not old or bad), allow the mix to sit for 5-7 minutes until you see foamy bubbles appear (it SHOULD look like the yeast is ‘blooming’’/foaming/expanding slightly in the water). If you don’t see any bubbles, expansion or changes, then your yeast might be bad or old! You will need to replace it.
3. Once your yeast is foamy and blooming, add lightly whisked eggs + egg yolks, and allulose to the stand mixer. Using a dough hook, mix together on a low speed until lightly combined. Add half of your low carb “flour” mix and continue kneading on the level 2 (lowest mixing speed) of your mixer for 3-4 minutes. Add the other half of the low carb “flour” mix and continue kneading (still at level 2) for 9-12 more minutes. If the dough is getting too tightly wound around the hook at any point you can stop the mixer pull the dough off the hook, flip it over in the bowl & then resume kneading again. The dough should look cohesive, smooth and stretchy (hello gluten development!) *At this point, if you were to pinch a piece of the dough and try to stretch it away from the rest of the dough, it should NOT break off easily. If it does break off instead of stretch, then it means your gluten hasn’t developed enough, so you can just continue kneading for an additional 1-2 minutes. This dough pinching
4. After the dough has relaxed for for 10-15 minutes, use a bench scraper (or a knife) to cut the dough into 4 equal pieces (tip: use the scale to weigh & divide by 4 if you want them all exact same size). Now, you can shape your Challah Braid! *watch a how to braid a 4 strand challah loaf video here). TO SHAPE: Take one of your 4 pieces of dough and gently flatten the dough with your hands into a rectangular/oval shape with long edge parallel to you. Pull the Long edge thats farther from you towards the middle of the dough and pinch or seal with your hand then continue rolling the dough into itself forming a log shape. Placing your hands on the middle of the dough log roll it back and forth with your hands moving out towards ends of the rope to create a 12-14 inch long ‘rope’ (mine were around 14 inches!). Do this with each piece of dough. Line up your 4 ropes evenly on the counter and pinch them together at the very top (making a tee-pee shape). Start by picking up the farthest left str
