Good, healthy bread machine recipe?

My family is going on a diet, and I love to make homeade bread that I can eat sandwiches on. I like the kind of bread that cooks and everything in the bread machine. Please give some suggestions... Thanks. Also, If you have some other good healthy recipes they would be appreciated...


Answer
I developed these myself. They are 100% whole grain, but do have added gluten. Both are basic and can be tweeked, but accurate measuring (cups/spoons) is required.

I always begin by placing all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Once youâve done that, you simply add the liquid and other moist ingredients into the bread pan.

The dry ingredients are then poured on top of the liquids. The last item to add is the content of a packet of yeast.

Your bread maker may vary, but most have a setting for whole grain breads that is a rapid cycle, regular cycle, large loaf, and/or regular loaf. All the following recipes work best in a large loaf, rapid cycle.


1. Whole Wheat

Add into bowl:

¼ cup non-fat dry milk
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
3 Tablespoons wheat gluten

Add into bread pan:

1 cup water
1 Tablespoon margarine (or butter, or shortening)
2 Tablespoons molasses
1 Tablespoon honey (or sugar)

Then add the contents of the bowl into the bread pan, top with a packet of yeast, and place the bread pan into the bread machine. Make your selection according to your bread machines settings. Push the button!


2. Honey Oat

Add into bowl:

¼ cup dry non-fat dry milk
1 teaspoon salt
2-½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup rolled whole oats
3 Tablespoons wheat gluten

Add into bread pan:

1 cup water
1 Tablespoon shortening (or butter, or margarine)
3 Tablespoons honey

Then add the contents of the bowl into the bread pan, top with a packet of yeast, and place the bread pan into the bread machine. Make your selection according to your bread machines settings. Push the button!
