"Good for you" bread machine recipes w/ nutritional info?
Anyone?
I just got new paddles for my machine, and made a loaf of white bread last night that I gladly would have inhaled on my own (but I didn't!!) I'm looking for healthy recipes I can try and not feel guilty about eating... the white bread I made had little nutritional value lol
Actually, since flour is usually enriched, that white bread is pretty nutritious. It lacks fiber but has the vitamins.
To make a healthier white loaf, try the Cornell formula. Into the bottom of your 1 cup measure, put 1 teaspoon each of non fat dry milk powder, wheat germ, soy flour and, if desired, wheat or oat bran. Fill the cup with flour and add to your recipe.
That's a fabulous idea! I think I'll do that tonight. Thanks!
When I make bread I add a variety of seeds to give it some bite... My regular recipe for a medium-size loaf is
14oz stoneground wholemeal flour
1 tablespoon milk powder
good-sized knob of butter or a tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
290ml water
sachet of easy-blend yeast
2 tablespoons mixed seeds. Caraway is particularly nice. Also pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, linseeds....
Works out about the same cals per ounce as regular wholemeal.
I use this book

nutrition information at the bottom of every recipe.
