Ingredients
2 3/4 tsp yeast
1 tsp malt
11 oz water (110 - 120 deg.f)
3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
2 tbsp sugar, honey, molasses...
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp gluten
Directions
put yeast and malt into machine with several oz. of water. Use a
thermometer for the water. Too hot will kill the yeast. The yeast
will now proof (start to multiply) In a separate bowl, measure out
all dry ingredients and mix. After a few minutes, yeast should be
bubbling, add dry stuff and any liquids including the water. start
the machine and see how it looks. If too dry, add until it looks
right. Should be one big mass not several. Flour: I often substitute
1 cup of corn or rye + 1 heaping T of gluten for a cup of WW flour.
For sweet breads, add another few T of sugar (I commonly use honey,
molasses, or malt powder) and may some raisins. 3 T of carroway seeds
or sesame seeds in a non sweet bread is great. I have also added 2
mashed bananas, then cut the water.

The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example bacon and some dairy produce. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss regime. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the popular atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into glucose, it is the carbohydrates that are burned initially. If we take in less carbohydrates, we will use up our stored fat and we will lose weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all specialists accept this as true and many think it is sometimes dangerous. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, leeks and spring onions) The onion, leek and garlic family is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is as yet, not enough definitive proof available, allyl sulfides are also believed to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
