In need of information!

I a previous entry I showed bread I made form potato fiber that I got from my daughter in Germany. It worked great and was super delicious. I think I also said that I am looking for alternatives. In this case I chose hemp fiber. It needs to be something that absorbs liquid and expands throughout the baking process.

Now I am out of potato fiber and started my experiment with the hemp fiber. Well, it did not go sooo well.
First of all the hemp fiber is dark green. I prefer a light bread, at least on the inside.

Then I was not able to form a loaf. Had to spread it in a baking form. Well, not bad and it rose somewhat. Off into the oven.
I was in for a surprise. The bread rose in the oven and then collapsed. The sides stayed firm but the center is dense and moist. It looks like only a top layer rose and then when the pressure of the gases underneath it diminished it just sunk in.

I know of one factor that could have caused it, too much liquid.
The recipe requires quark, which is difficult to get here in the USA. I normally make my own for cheese and baking. In this case I had found some at Wholefoods but it contained way more liquid than it should. Maybe one of the reasons for the difficulties in staying up.

Maybe I should try coconut flour since it is absorbent as the potato fiber. Almond flour would not work.

Anyway, if anyone has any idea where I could get potato fiber (in the USA) that would be great. I searched the internet already to no avail. And it has to be potato fiber, NOT potato power, nor potato starch.

It is not worth it....

... for me to skip breakfast.
I had my bullet proof very early this morning, including some collagen powder. Normally I eat breakfast at 9.30 am, like a clockwork I am hungry then. No matter if at work or weekends. Even with a jet-lag I was right there at local time. No idea what causes it but this is a must!
So, today we had a meeting scheduled at 9 am, planned for 1 1/2 hrs but it took two. Lunchtime!!! and I was starving. I had my lunch, it was sufficient, but the feeling of being hungry never left me.
Came home and made some dinner and still could go on eating. Dangerous! I have/had enough calories left but don't want to eat anymore. It feels like whenever I eat something it makes me even hungrier. I decided to go with a bullet proof chai tea. Hopefully that takes this empty stomach feeling away.
