Moist, high fibre, Phase II bread

  • I made this in my bread machine yesterday. If your bread machine needs a different process then please adapt it to yours.

    It isn't LOW carb, but it's definitely GOOD carb.

    Heidi's High Fibre Bread

    In bottom of bread machine, place:

    2 cups of water
    4 tbsp olive oil

    Combine these dry ingredients in a separate bowl:

    1.5 tsp baking powder
    1 tbsp Splenda
    1 c wheat gluten flour
    1/2 c oat flour
    1 c soy flour
    1/2 c flax seed meal
    4 tbsp skim milk powder
    3 tbsp red bran
    1/4 c oat bran
    1/4 c white bran
    1/2 c whole wheat flour

    Pour the dry ingredients into the pan on top of the liquid.

    Put 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt around edge of pan.

    Put 1 tbsp dry yeast into a 'well' in the middle of the dry ingredients.

    I used the Whole Wheat Rapid cycle set at a 2 pound loaf. The crust was a bit dark, yet the insides were moist. I would try to set it at a lighter crust next time.

    This is a very filling bread. A bit of tuna salad on top of one slice is a meal! The counts are as follows:

    Based on a 16 slice loaf:
    Fat 6.97 g / Carbs 20.38 g / Fibre 6.28 g / Net Carbs 14.09 g / Protein 6g / Cals 150
  • Bran
    Recipe sounds great. Can you tell me where to find white bran and red bran? Health food stores?
  • Hi,
    We have a place called 'Bulk Barn' nearby. I've heard others on the board refer to a 'scoop store'. If you can't find the red & white, just use regular wheat bran. I had added the two for variation but it probably won't make a difference.
