Protein bread has a delicious, nutty flavor and tastes
especially good toasted. I suggest that you munch it in very small bites to fully enjoy it.
If protein bread is not available, you may substitute whole wheat bread (as dense as possible), or gluten
bread. (see list below)
Keep the protein bread in the freezer, and take out and toast a slice at a time.
Use the bread in any form you wish. For example, note the delicious recipe for Protein Croutons.
Eat your slice of protein toast as a snack between meals, or at another meal instead of breakfast.
SCARSDALE
HOME-BAKED PROTEIN BREAD
1 cup of warm water,
1 tablespoon of dry yeast,
1/2 Teaspoon salt,
1 Teaspoon sugar,
1/2 Teaspoon Cider Vinegar,
1/2 cup of soy flour,
1/4 cup gluton flour,
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour.
Standard small bread pan (7 3/8 x 3 5/8 x 2 1/4")
Pour water into mixing bowl. Sprinkle dry yeast on water and let stand until it dissolves (about 5 minutes). Mix
in salt, sugar, cider vinegar. Sift thoroughly, then gradually add soy and gluten flours, then whole wheat flour.
Mix
slowly until dough stiffens and does not stick to sides of bowl (you may used a food processor, following machine directions,
for this step). Lightly flour a board then roll out the dough on it. Knead well (about 5 minutes) until dough feels smooth
and elastic. Coat bread pan with no-stick vegetable spray. Shape the dough to fit, set it into the pan, cover with dish towel
and set in a warm place to rise to about the top of the bread pan (2 to 3 hours). Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake bread
for about 1 hour or until well browned.
Home-baked bread is denser than commercial so cut thin slices, then toast. Keep
in refrigerator.
Notes:
This is a VERY dense, heavy bread. It is important to use a SMALL loaf pan to bake it in, then slice
thinly.
Our Members Suggest:
In the SMD book, in the nutritional info
charts, the protein bread is listed as having 45 cals, 2.5 protein, and 8.5 carbs.
Members lose the most when using a bread that is higher
in protein (4 g) and less than 12g of carbs. Try looking in the health food store.
If you cant have wheat go
for the spelt or another grain bread. Again, they sell these at the health food store.
Never substitute with white bread!
High in complex carbohydrates,
bread breaks down into sugar in the blood. Whole grains break down at a slower rate, meaining you will have a steady supply
of energy. White bread, which lacks fiber, breaks down quickly and has the same effect on sugar levels in the blood as does
table sugar
Toasting
The advantage of toasting is that it breaks down the gluten
protein a bit, making it easier to digest.
If you burn your toast, throw it away. Burnt food is
high in carcinogenic (cancer-causing) compounds.
Freezing
Keep your bread in the freezer and toast one slice at a time,
so it stays fresh all week, and makes it hard to overeat!
Double wrap the loaf before freezing to avoid freezer burn.
