Does no one make their own bread anymore...? About once every two weeks I make some oatmeal and honey bread (put away the bread machine, it tastes better hand made!). You can control exactly what goes in... and change it up depending on what you feel like.

I think bread is important when dieting, as long as (like everything else in life) you don't go overboard.

I like to make bread! Kneading dough feels good. Would you share your recipe for the oatmeal & honey bread?

I watch a lot of Michael Smith, this is his recipe that I use, except I altered it a bit to suit what I liked.

1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tsp yeast
1/4 cup of honey
2 cups white bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oats (not the instant kind)
2 tbsp dried milk powder
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp salt

Mix all the dry ingredients together and spill it out onto your counter. With clean hands, make a well in the centre and drop your wet ingredients into the middle. Begin mixing together with your fingers until things come together into a dough and kneed it for 10 minutes. Once combined, put it in a greased bowl (use the olive oil again) and cover with a dish towel. Put aside to rest in a warm, dark place with no drafts (pantries are good for this) for about an hour. Once it's doubled in size, grab it out and punch the air out of it and kneed it again. Set it into the greased bread pan and let it rise again under the towel for about half an hour. Once it's done, place it into a 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes.

That's all there is to it! It sounds complicated, but hands-on time is only 20 minutes, and NOTHING beats a fresh, warm loaf of bread coming out of the oven!!!

tig3rang3l, Thanks for the recipe! I can't wait to try it. We love fresh bread!

I personally like to make my own bread, however I tend to buy weight watchers bread since its easy to keep at work and it keeps longer than homemade bread.

I love Ace Bakery's Organic Granary Bread. It is full of seeds and stuff. It is 100 calories per slice, but I only eat it rarely or after I have worked out a lot.

We either do Nature's Own 40 Calories per Slice

or

Sara Lee Delightful 45 Calories per slice.

I do the Sunbeam 40 cal per slice or Sara Lee 45 cal per slice. Have gotten use to the taste of "healthy" bread versus that fluffy heavenly overprocessed white bread I loved to eat in a former life.

I tried making bread it came out looking like a triscuit.

:laugh: I was just thinking about how I'd never get the dough to rise!!

Can't agree with you more...I will admit that about 2 years ago I had no idea how to make my own bread lol

Heh, neither did I. I used to think it was so complicated until I actually watched my Nana do it (she was blind )

Okay, maybe I need to give it another try

I don't avoid bread, I just eat it in moderation (two slices per day for my lunch sandwich). I used to get the 45-calorie Sara Lee Delight Bread, but it's paper thin and I found that I got hungry soon after. Not to mention, if I recall, it's not 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain.
I switched to Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat. It has no high fructose corn syrup, is 100% whole grain, and low sugar. Yeah, it's like 100 cals/slice but it's healthier bread. And if I'm gonna eat bread, I'm gonna get the good stuff.

If it came out really flat, your yeast might not have been good. Use active dry yeast, and try mixing it with the warm water and honey and leaving it for about 5 minutes before mixing it with the dry ingredients. Also, be patient, let it rise before it goes in the oven!

Hi all I was wondering if any one could tell me what's
the lowest cal bread out there right now that taste ok... any suggestions. Thanks Sil:happy:

I just recently started using one called Flat Out. Its 90 cal, but can be used for wraps or pizza or make it into chips to dip. Its become a fav in our house.

Just my opinion, but I tried a slice of my friend's Ezekial bread and was not impressed. While super duper healthy, it had zero taste. I felt like I was eating soft cardboard. But that's just me. :laugh:

It tastes better if you toast it a bit... then it's actually quite nice. I really should switch from the mini white pittas I have been eating... so bad.

Death by bread. :brokenheart:

I make my own bread too but with the bread maker, I make a 1 pound loaf every night when I get home from work so we have fresh bread for sandwiches the next day. I know exactly what goes into it, anything that stays 'fresh' for over a week can't be good for you! :noway:

I love making bread and a lot of other things from scratch. I have found a flour that is made by Eagle Mills and it is made with Ultragrain. It is an all-purpose unbleached flour with 9 grams of whole grains per serving. But it bakes like white flour so I use it for everything...pizza crust, pancakes, biscuits, bread, cookies...everything. And I know that I am feeding my family whole grains in all their baked treats.
