South Beach Diet and Whole Wheat Bread

Retired RailRoader

Well with the winter and lack of exercise topped off with being sick a good part of it I gained a few pounds that I need to get lose. So it is back on the South Beach Diet for me. Having finished the first phase I am now able to eat whole grain breads. I was not happy to see many Whole Wheat breads contain high fructose corn syrup so I decided to bake my own on the egg. With the help of Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads it was off too the races.[p]Here is the dough straight from my food processor.[p][p]After a 1 1/2 hour raise the dough more then doubled its size[p][p]Here is is cut and shaped into two loaves ready for the pan[p][p][p]A little egg wash and it's off to the egg.[p][p][p]Here is the finished product[p][p][p]Not one to waste a good fire I grilled a few Shrimps with some Jamaican Firewalk (not a true South Beach seasoning but something has too give) with some broccoli and asparagus sauted in EVOO and garlic. Man this was good!!!![p]

Retired RailRoader,[p]I always substitute olive oil for butter. I now prefer OO to butter for almost everything even corn and artichokes.[p]ab ovo

Retired RailRoader,
Your bread sure looks good. I bet excellent toasted. Now I gotta make whole wheat for my next bread. I feel healthy already.
Nice work!
