Marmite- yeast extract

Deb34 · 07-06-2012, 11:34 AM

I've never eaten this so my question may be offline in some way but I was wondering if this would give a 'yeasty' flavour to the LC GF nut butter bread recipes on the boards.

Has anyone baked with it? added it to "bread" batters or doughs?

Just wondering.... I miss the bready yeasty taste of bread...more than the texture.

I've never tried that but I have used Bragg's nutritional yeast and it does add a cheesy yeasty flavor to things I've tried it in such as pizza crust.

Hi My Son-in-Law was born and raised in England and when he can over here, he bought some and I tasted it. This is a written statement that describes how it tastes and I agree completely having tasted it myself. Very salty and sharp flavoured, beefy flavour, like condense dark gravy paste. I thought it taste like a bullion cube paste. I thought about putting yeast in the Almond butter bread recipe and letting it set over night in the frig and see how that does. As far as the Marmite I wouldn't use that.

you would put some actual yeast in the recipe? Can you explain your method and which yeast you might try?

aah marmite u either love it or hate it.. i love it!! mmm cheese and marmite flax rolls for lunch but i digress lol

it would more likely give things a beefy flavour than a yeasty flavour even tho its a yeast extract it has a strong meaty taste

its lowcarb too - unless u use LOADSSS but its strong taste would prohibit u from doing that. .8g per 4g saving (20g per 100g)
