Mix the sugar, salt and yeast in the water that has been warmed between 104 and 110 deg. Stir the yeast mixture gently and let the yeast work on the sugar water for 10 minutes. The yeast will consume part of the sugar reducing the overall carb count even lower.

Combine ingredients according to bread machine manual.Select dough on your bread machine.Remove bread dough when the machine is done. Place dough on an Almond  floured work bench.

Work the dough and form a log just a little longer than your bread pan. Place the dough log in the bread pan and tuck the ends under forming a nice smooth top. Let the bread rise in a warm place until double.

Bake the bread in a 350 deg oven for about 40 to 50 minutes. Check the bread after 35 min. Ovens very. When done turn the hot loaf out onto a cooling rack. Enjoy when cool but still hot enough to melt butter. Use a serrated knife to cut the bread.

Note: This bread is very good and it comes close to real bread. The amount of gluten in the gluten flour can very from one brand to another. I use the NOW Gluten brand that has a gluten level of 70%. If the gluten flour that you use is higher or lower you may need to adjust the level of gluten flour in your batch of bread.
