Ingredients
6 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp active dry yeast
2 cup water, very warm (120)
Directions
Recipe by: McDougall In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour and yeast. Mix
the honey in the warm water. Add the water to the flour mixture and
beat for 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl
occasionally. (Or beat 150 strokes by hand.) Stir in enough flour to
make soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knead until
smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes, adding more flour if it is
too sticky. Place in bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until
doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, turn onto lightly
floured board. Cover, let rest 30 minutes. Divide dough into 10 equal
pieces. Shape each into a ball. On a lightly floured board, roll each
ball into a 6 inch circle. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet.
Bake on bottom rack of preheated 450 degree oven. Bake about 5
minutes. Tops will not be brown. To brown tops, place under broiler 3
inches from heat, for 1 minute. From the collection of Sue Smith,

Lycopene foods (includes watermelon, papaya and tomatoes) Lycopene is a natural compound used to color foods and a member of the carotenid family. This chemical is the agent responsible for the dark red hue of some types of food. Fortunately, unlike numerous nutrients, lycopene does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is noticeably increased in efficacy by being heated. . Its main benefit is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of contracting cancer. It is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It's also thought by many experts to impede the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, leeks and spring onions) The onion family of foods is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not enough, scientific proof published, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to help with blood circulation, sterilization and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing foods and a score illustrating the ease with which the energy of the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The theory is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Gi number), will keep you feeling full for longer and help you to consume fewer food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also extremeley useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in controlling surges in blood glucose levels. |
