I love bread and was having a hard time thinking about giving it up them I found this recipe for clean bread using my bread machine. Hope you like:)

1 ½ Cups warm water
¼ Cup honey
½ tsp. salt
2 tbsp. coconut oil
4 ¼ cups whole grain flour
2 ¼ tsp. yeast

I add it all to the bread maker in the order listed and put it on the dough setting. When the dough is finished I roll onto the counter cut it in half and put one half in a Ziploc bag to freeze and the other half in a greased loaf pan. Let it raise on the counter for 45 min and bake at 350 for 30 min. When I am ready to cook the other half I let is thaw in the fridge then put in a greased loaf pan and let it raise for 3 hrs bake at 350 for 30. YOU DONT HAVE TO DO THIS. I just don't like the loafs that come out of my bread maker. You can simply select a bread setting instead of dough.

(when I bake half the load)

    Is the yeast a "clean" ingredient? I am new to the clean eating lifestyle.

    Thank you! I am going to try this, I like your idea about just using the dough setting. I don't like the way mine bakes up as well. Does a great job when I use it for pizza dough.

    Hmm, I love whole grain bread, but I've always heard flour of any sort is too processed to be considered "clean". I thought clean meant minimal processing.

    No one knows what "clean" means. The Orowheat bread I eat has never had any dirt on it. So it's pretty clean IMO. :wink:

    So, when someone says "clean eating" they may mean something other than minimally processed (or unprocessed) foods? Do you mean on myfitnesspal, or in general? I thought it had a pretty standard meaning.
