depends on what you are looking for. There are a number of good recipes online. I recently found the glutenfreegoddess and a number of her recipes look really good. I can't wait to try. I'd say look around for what you maybe looking for. So many people on here are on different types of eating plans its hard to tell what you want. Best wishes in your personal journey.

I use the cookbook, "Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day." It has MANY great, easy to bake, bread recipes. Last night I baked a delicious 10-Grain bread that was especially good with a little honey drizzled over it.

This is NOT low-calorie, but it is 100% whole-wheat and so delicious it's worth it!

2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (or a whole envelope, same diff)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons molasses (sometimes I use all honey, sometimes all molasses, both work. Molasses is lower-calorie)
1 tsp salt
6 cups whole wheat flour
6 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
4 tablespoons flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons coconut oil (shortening, butter, Earth Balance, etc), melted

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, honey, and molasses. Sprinkle yeast and let proof.

In another large bowl, combine salt, flour, gluten, and flax meal and mix until everything is evenly distributed. I often add another 1/4 cup of warm water here, depending on the moisture of your flour. Sticky is good.

Once the yeast has proofed, add the flour mixture and melted coconut oil and mix with the dough hook on low. Increase speed to medium and let knead for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl. Cover with oiled plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.

Once doubled, gently punch down and divide into two greased 9 by 5 by 3 loaf pans. Cover again with your plastic wrap or damp towel, and let rise until it is well over the tops of the pans, 30 minutes to an hour. It won't rise more in the oven, so wait until the loaves are as high as you want them.

Bake 30 minutes at 350. Let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then remove onto a wire rack and cool completely before cutting.

I measure this by weighing my whole loaves and entering it so that 100g is a serving. Then, no matter what size slice I cut, I can get accurate calories by weighing it. A typical slice for me is about 70 calories.

I make a lot of bread. But I don't think any of it is healthy, hah.

I have a nice naan recipe that you can make in a wok or nonstick skillet, but it's just regular naan, not "healthified".
