    GABI'S WORLD-FAMOUS BREAD

    Recipe By : Gabi
    Serving Size : 16
    Preparation Time 00


    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    2 tsp dry yeast -- Rapid Rise
    1/2 tsp sugar -- yeast food
    1 1/8 cups warm water -- baby bottle warm
    (90-100°F)
    3 tbsp olive oil
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp salt
    1 tbsp splenda
    1 cup gluten, wheat
    1/4 cup oat bran
    3/4 cup soy flour
    1/4 cup flax seeds -- meal , linseed
    1/4 cup wheat bran

    Pour yeast into bottom of bread machine pan. Add sugar and water. Stir, and let sit. (This is "proofing" your yeast to see if your yeast is alive. If it's not bubbling, it's dead and you can replace it without wasting all of the other ingredients).

    In the meantime, mix all other dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add oil to bread machine pan. Add mixed dry ingredients. Set your machine to the basic cycle (3-4 hours) and bake.
    Cool on a rack and enjoy.

    * The sugar is totally consumed by the yeast and does not contribute to the carb count. I keep a few packets of restaurant sugar on-hand for this purpose so I never have to have a supply of actual sugar in the house.
    "I've had best results using "Bob's Red Mill: Vital gluten, wheat Flour". Whatever brand you use should be 6 grams (no fiber) per 1/4 cup on label and approx. 75% - 80% protein. It works great, keeps the taste and texture just like bakery bread, and keeps the carb count very low."

    Makes 16 slices. 3.4 carbs per slice.

    Note: If you have trouble with your bread rising by following this recipe, then you might try to add the ingredients following the instructions provided with your machine.

    How was you able to find out that the sugar you use to "feed" the yeast is not added to the carb count?

      Not sure you're checking this anymore, but to answer your question most people who enjoy making bread know this. It's not an obscure fact. Unless you add large amounts of sugar to any kind of bread it will mostly be eaten by the yeast.

        No Bread Machine

        If I don't have a bread machine, how can I make this bread in the oven? Do I mix all the ingredients together and just bake until done? I've never been a good bread baker but I'd like to try this recipe.

          I've not tried making bread machine recipes by hand, but I'd assume that you would mix the ingredients, knead, let rise, punch down, and let rise again before baking.

          My book lists the following times for white bread
          1st kneading 10 minutes
          1st rising 20 minutes
          2nd kneading 15 minutes
          2nd rising 20 minutes
          "Punch down" 30 seconds
          3rd rising 55 minutes
          Baking 60 minutes

          Wheat breads have a longer rising time because they traditionally contain less gluten (or something like that).

          The only bread recipe I make by hand any more is German Rye (which I don't get to eat, of course) because it's so heavy. It's just too easy to toss stuff in the bread machine and let it do all the work.

            If you make this by hand, meaning without a bread machine, you'll have to treat the yeast a little differently.

            You can either combine the yeast and sugar in a small bowl, add a 1/4 cup of the warm water and let the yeast "proof" or ferment for about 5 minutes. It will get foamy. Then you add the yeast mixture to the rest of the dry ingredients.

            OR you can combine everything together but heat the water up to 110 degrees and add the water.
