i'm on
mediterranean diet now (well, not really authentic mediterranean diet).
so what's involved in mediterranean diet? to eat less carbs (but still
there are carbs), more lean proteins, veggies and fruits (yeah
yeah...we hear that all the time), good fats which derive from olive
oil and nuts.
i've
already switched from my normal homemade white bread to homemade
wholegrain bread, sure it doesnt taste as nice and soft as the white
variety, but i keep thinking of the fibre and what it does to my colon.
to those of you who are interested in watching your weight and have the
time to kill (to bake, i mean) i give u my wholegrain bread recipe
for 1 loaf of bread
1/6 cup brown sugar
1 tsp honey
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
dissolve the ingredients above until the mixture is frothy.
1/8 cup oil
1 tsp salt
2 cups hi protein flour
1/2 cup wholemeal flour
1/2 cup oat bran
some poppy seeds
some sunflower seeds
add
the oil and the salt to the yeast mixture and stir. then, add in the
flours and the seeds. work your dough on a flat clean surface and knead
the dough for 5-8 minutes or until it has become elastic. leave it to
rise until it has doubled in size in a well-oiled bowl, making sure
that the top part of the dough is equally coated with oil.
when
it has rise, punch the dough. i personally prefer to knead it for a few
secs to punching the dough. shape it into a loaf and put it in a
well-greased loaf tin. leave it to rise and bake at 200 C for 20 mins
(baking time will vary frm 1 oven to the other).
take
your bread out and leave it to rest for at least 5 mins or until it can
come out frm the tin easily. leave it to cool completely on a wire rack.
