I am looking for a relatively lowfat healthy homemade bread recipie. Does anyone have one to share? Thanks
I've been having relatively good success with this recipe:
MAMA’S BASIC BREAD
This recipe works well with most bread machines. It can also be worked by hand the old-fashioned way. Please check your bread machine recipe for additional instructions. Add ingredients according to your bread machine recommendations.
Ingredients:
1 rounded tsp. vital wheat gluten, optional
1-2 Tbls. honey
1 tsp. Real Salt Brand, Sea Salt or Celtic Salt Brand
1 Tbls. olive oil or virgin coconut oil
1 egg (room temp), optional
1-1/2 cups distilled water - approx. 110 - 115 degrees
4 cups freshly-ground, whole wheat flour (white, red or mixed wheat berries - lightest color wheat is hard white)
1 scant Tbls. yeast
Other additions added according to your machine instructions: currants, raisins, nuts, date pieces, seeds, etc.
How to:
Bread may be shaped into round loaves, bread-pan loaves, rolls, flat breads, pizza crusts, braided challah (add 1 Tbls. more honey), etc.
To bake bread in oven after mixing in bread machine:
Use the "dough" or "manual" cycle for designing your own dough into rolls, flatbread, French bread, dessert breads, etc.
Allow the formed bread dough to rise covered for 45 - 50 minutes in a slightly warm oven--heat oven at 350 degrees for 25 seconds. This is for winter baking. Remember to turn off the oven!!! In summer, the oven should be warm enough.
If oven has a pilot light, it will be warm enough.
Keep oven door closed while bread is rising.
Bake in oven for 32 - 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Do NOT pre-heat oven!
Cool bread on wire rack.
May be cut and eaten after 15 minutes cooling time.
Wrap only room-temperature bread for storage.
Refrigerate or freeze unused portions.
