1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp active dry yeast
2 cup water, very warm (120)

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

make soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knead until

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

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.

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,

The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg bacon and hard cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known 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. Unlike other diets, 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 & 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 transform into carbs, it is the carbohydrates which are burned initially. If we eat less carbs, we will deplete the fat we already carry and we will reduce weight. This theory is divisive, not all experts concur and some feel it can be risky.
