3 Unusual Bread Recipes

Western people love bread, although not everybody eats it because it is fattening. Eating too much bread is fattening, but good bread is very satisfying, so there is no need to over indulge, which means that it does not have to become a burden on your waist band. Likewise, good bread does not need butter or margarine, so that is another economy on calories and oil.

Bread can also be a good source of dietary fibre and once you have consumed real bread, you will never go back to white, sliced, supermarket bread. In fact, it is the white sliced bread that gives bread such a dire name.

Bread Pan

These recipes are intended to be mixed and cooked in a bread making machine, but they may be mixed by hand as well. I have used a bread making machine for years, and I used to make it by hand, and I can honestly say that I can not tell the difference between them.

Furthermore, the machine saves a great deal of time and because it cooks on a timer, you can wake up to fresh bread each morning, if you want.

* Caramel colouring was only used to give the bread an almost pumpernickel colour. You can get it in a cake decorating store.

** The malted barley flour is also called diastatic malt powder.

In a bowl combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, unprocessed bran, dark brown sugar, oatbran, rolled oats, granola, malted barley flour and salt.

In bread pan add water, molasses, and caramel colouing. Add flour mixture; top with yeast and select dark bread setting.

NOTE: Raisins could be added if liked. If you do, do not add the caramel colouring and blend the water, 1/4 cup raisins, molasses and brown sugar before adding to the machine.
