Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2 cup bread flour
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup water
1 egg white
1 tbsp water
Directions
Add yeast, salt, bread flour, egg substitute, and 1/2 cup water in the
order suggested by the bread machine manufacturer and process on the
dough cycle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray baking sheet
with nonfat cooking spray. When the dough cycle is complete, remove
dough and place on lightly-floured surface. Roll dough into 12x4-inch
rectangle and cut into 8 (12-inch) strips. Pull each strip to about
14 inches in length. Form dough into pretzel shape: Make a circle;
cross the ends at the top, twist the ends once and lay over the
bottom of the circle. Pretzel logs can also be shaped just by making
rolled dough into a 12- to 14-inch rope. Place pretzels on prepared
baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine egg white with 1 tablespoon
water and brush on pretzels. If desired, sprinkle pretzels with
coarse salt, sesame, or poppy seeds. Bake in preheated oven 15 to 20
seconds. Serve with mustard or cheese dip.

Healthy foods with carotenes (includes parsley, kale and tomato ketchup) These colorful plants contain alpha and beta carotenes believed by many to play a role in helping prevent cancer, specifically those cancers involving the esophagus. A good number are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. Lycopene rich foods (includes water melon, red bell peppers & tomato) The nutrient lypcopene is a natural coloring compound and a member of the carotenid family. This chemical is accountable for the vivid red colour of a good number of food types. Usefully, unlike many healthy agents, lycopene not only survives being cooked, but is truly enhanced by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's main health contribution is that it is an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to lower the chances of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most efficacious quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many researchers to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the glycaemic index, a list of food types and an indicator of the rapidity that the energy of the food type gets converted to sugar in your system. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can eat fewer food without craving snacks all the time. It is also extremely good for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in managing increases in glucose levels. |
