Ingredients
1 package (or 1 tablespoon) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions
Keywords: Ovo-Lacto
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine the sugar, cardamom,
salt, egg, milk and oil in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the yeast
mixture, flours, raisins and nuts. Mix well. Add enough extra flour
to make soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and
knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a round
loaf.
Put the dough into a lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake pan. Cover with
a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk,
about 1 hour. Bake in a 350-degree oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until
brown.

Carotenoid foods (includes paprika, turnip greens and winter squash) These amazing fruit and veg have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) thought by experts play a key role in minimising the risk of cancer, particularly those cancers involving the esophagus. The majority of these are low in calories, so you should add them to your diet. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, onions and spring onions) The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is insufficient hard medical proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce problems with blood circulation, high blood pressure and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in your diet. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet system is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing foods and an indicator of the ease that the glucose and energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters system. The believe is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and mean that you can take in fewer food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also extremely beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in managing rises in blood sugar secretion. |
