Hmph...after my torturing period of feeling SLUGGISH, FAT, UNAPPEALING...the list goes on and on and on and on for the past few days, i vowed to stay on the healthy track...for at least a month just to monitor my body system.
When healthy is DB's main concern, guess what is the least priority now? *sob sob*.....gone will be the chocolate chip cookies, the sausage buns, the roti pratha, the junk food, the preserved fruits and food....boo hoo!
I made a loaf of bread yesterday night with mostly organic ingredients. Using numerous bread recipes as guidance, i made up my very own healthy bread recipe....here it is:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups organic wholemeal bread flour
- 1/2 cup organic rolled oats (grind them to powder texture)
- 1/4 cup organic wheat bran
- 3 tbsp organic molasses
- 1 tbsp vegetable shortening
- 2 tbsp organic soy powder
- a handful of organic sunflower seeds
- 1 1/4 tsp yeast
- 1 tsp vinegar
Verdict: The bread was a little dense, probably because the flour i used was purely wholemeal bread flour without any other 'white' flour. I've learnt from a website stating that adding a TABLESPOON of vinegar will help reduce the dense-ness of the bread and helps yield a much airy bread....i was very skeptical at adding that much of vinegar...afraid of producing a sourish bread...hmmm...probably next time i should add 1 tbsp of vinegar and we'll see how it goes. Anyway, asides from the bread being densed, it actually tasted really good....soft...and i can actually savour bits of sunflower seeds and brans in every bite of the bread....and quite filling too!
For those who are health conscious, do give this bread a try!
