LOW CALORIE BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the white whole wheat flour, wheat germ, salt, and sugar, and mix until combined. In a large mixing bowl, add the yeast and warm water and let it dissolve. Add the bowl of mixed dry ingredients, along with the oil and yogurt, and whisk until combined. Gently fold through the bread flour until a firm dough remains.
• Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Lightly grease two mixing bowls. Divide the dough into two portions and place each ball of dough into the greased bowls, and roll around, until the exterior is covered in some of the oil. Cover each bowl of dough and let it sit in a warm area for around an hour, to double in size and rise.
• Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans and set them aside. Remove the balls of dough and place them once more on a floured surface. Shape each ball of dough into a loaf shape and place them into the greased loaf pan. Cover the pans and let them rise until around double in size, approximately 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 185C/375F. Place the loaves in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, brush the crust with butter or olive oil.

• My brown bread loaf was a little hard anf got some fermetned taste? I would also advice you to brush olive oil immediately on the brown bread loaf, once it is out of the oven. After olive oil is brushed, let it cool completely on it's own, this will help in making the whole wheat loaf soft and also firm from inside. When the loaf is hot, the cooking process is continued till it is cooled completely. You will also not get the fermented taste.
• To make the dough for 100% brown bread, in a small bowl, take yeast. We are using instant dry yeast for the nutritious atta bread recipe. The brown bread recipe calls for 1 tbsp of instant dry yeast. You can also use 12gms fresh yeast instead. The procedure to make the yeast mixture remains the same as per the recipe. // Call display() to register the slot as ready // and refresh() to fetch an ad. googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1570706400435-0'); googletag.pubads().refresh([adslot0]); }); // Call display() to register the slot as ready // and refresh() to fetch an ad. var adslot1 = googletag.defineSlot('/1035919/Rcp_Step_BlockAd', [336, 280], "adslot1").setTargeting("test", "infinitescroll").addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1548320692495-0'); googletag.pubads().refresh([adslot1]); }); Add the sugar. Sugar has multiple roles in bread making. One being it acts as a food for yeast and helps in creating carbon dioxide and alcohol. It also enhances the flavour of the bread, retains the moisture content and give a crumbly texture & golden crust to the brown bread. Pour ¼ cup of warm water in the bowl. Before pouring the water, dip your finger in water to check if it's lukewarm or no. Water that's too hot can damage or kill the yeast. Mix well. Cover it with a lid and keep aside for 10 minutes. The rising time will vary as per the climatic conditions. After 10 minutes, open the lid and you can see a frothy layer on top which indicates our yeast has been activated and is ready to use. If you don't see a creamy frothy layer then discard the yeast and start over again. For preparing the dough for brown bread, in a deep bowl take whole wheat flour. This being a healthy recipe we will be using gehun ka atta unlike refined flour which is used in most bread recipes. Take a big bowl as the dough will rise on resting and you would want to prevent it from overflowing. Many people even use half wheat flour and half refined flour. // Call display() to register the slot as ready // and refresh() to fetch an ad. var adslot2 = googletag.defineSlot('/1035919/Rcp_Step_BlockAd', [336, 280], "adslot2").setTargeting("test", "infinitescroll").addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1548320692495-0'); googletag.pubads().refresh([adslot2]); }); // Call display() to register the slot as ready // and refresh() to fetch an ad. var adslot3 = googletag.defineSlot('/1035919/Rcp_Step_BlockAd', [336, 280], "adslot3").setTargeting("test", "infinitescroll").addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1548320692495-0'); googletag.pubads().refresh([adslot3]); }); Add salt and yeast-sugar.
