LOW-FAT, HIGH-FIBER YUMMY BANANA BREAD

Low-Fat, High-Fiber Yummy Banana Bread image

I make this each and every time we have bananas that are over-ripe. I toast slices to have along with my coffee for breakfast. I also use toasted slices to make peanut butter sandwiches for the kids' lunches. Who says if it's good for you it can't taste good too? The original recipe, which I have adapted quite a bit, came from Nick Malgieri's book "How to Bake."

Categories Bread Bake High Fiber Healthy

Yield 3 dozen rolls or two medium loaves

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup skim milk
1 cup water
4tbsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil margarine (I like Fleishmans)
1 cup bread flour
21/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
4 tbsp gluten
1 tsp salt
2 tsp bread machine yeast

Steps:

1) Place first 4 ingredients in bottom of bread machine mixing container 2) Place remaining ingredients on top. Place yeast in last. 3) Set bread machine on "dough" cycle. 4) Once dough is completed, remove from container, punch down, and form into loaves or rolls, or some of both. It is your choice. This recipe can make one medium loaf and a dozen and a half rolls. 5) Set in a warm place and allow to rise until double in bulk. 6) Bake in 370 degree oven for 10 minutes, then turn oven down to 350 and bake until done. Approxiate 30-40 minutes. Bread when it is done should have a hollow sound when tapped and golden brown top. 7) Remove to cooling rack. Baste top of bread or rolls lightly with olive oil margarine to ensure soft crust.

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use whole grain flours, such as whole wheat flour, oat flour, or rye flour, as they are high in fiber. You can also add other high-fiber ingredients like flaxseeds, chia seeds, or psyllium husk.

Don't Over-Knead the Dough: Over-kneading can develop the gluten in the flour too much, resulting in a tough, dense bread. Knead the dough just until it comes together and is smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise Properly: Allowing the dough to rise adequately gives the yeast time to ferment and produce gases, resulting in a light and airy loaf of bread.

Bake the Bread at the Right Temperature: The ideal temperature for baking high-fiber bread is between 375°F (190°C) and 400°F (200°C). This temperature allows the bread to brown properly without burning.

Cool the Bread Completely Before Slicing: Slicing the bread while it is still warm can cause it to crumble. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, creating high-fiber bread at home is a rewarding and satisfying experience. By following these recipes and incorporating high-fiber ingredients, you can create wholesome and nutritious bread that not only tastes great but also provides numerous health benefits. Experiment with different flours, seeds, and grains to discover your favorite combination. Remember to enjoy your homemade high-fiber bread in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
