Nutty Low-Carb Bread (A B M)

mersaydees's Note:

This is a delicious and healthy bread based on a recipe that came in the Recipe Booklet accompanying my Christmas present: the Cuisinart Convection Bread Maker! I cannot guarantee that this will work in a non-convection bread machine. This is for the large 2 pounder; the medium 1.5 pounder ingredients are in parens. Make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature, unless noted otherwise.
