Homemade, healthy bread can not only be eaten without a guilty conscience, but it is also good for your health! But which recipes are suitable?
Bake your bread quickly and easily. Why not? Especially in the Corona crisis, you should focus on healthy nutrition so that you don’t gain a lot of weight during this time. Whether for breakfast, as a small bag, or for dinner, home-baked bread is always a good choice and is also super healthy.
Bake healthy wholemeal bread without flour
Bake healthy bread without flour yourself? Yes, it works, and eating whole-grain bread in general can help prevent carbohydrates from being released into the gut too quickly and causing blood sugar levels to rise too quickly. This is because the fiber from the husk portions of the grain slows digestion. It also gives new power and energy.
This is required:
- 150 grams of rolled oats
- 100 g whole flax seeds
- 80 g sunflower seeds
- 80 g pumpkin seeds
- 40 g chopped almonds
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 3 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 350ml of water
This is how the preparation works:
- Mix all of the specified ingredients.
- Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave it in a cool place for several hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C top/bottom heat. Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and press the firm dough firmly into it.
- Bake the bread without flour in the tin for 20 minutes. Then remove from the mold and bake for about 40 more minutes. Allow the bread to cool thoroughly before slicing.
- To vary the taste, you can also use hazelnuts or walnuts instead of almonds. Honey can be substituted with rice syrup or agave syrup.
Bake healthy protein bread yourself
Few carbohydrates and lots of protein-protein bread are not only healthy but also much more filling than carbohydrate-rich bread. So it can also be eaten on a low-carb diet, but you have to reckon with a little more calorie intake.
This is required:
- 100 g ground almonds
- 100 g ground flax seeds
- 4 tbsp + 1-2 tbsp wheat bran
- 2 tbsp wholemeal spelled flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 300 g low-fat quark
- 8 egg whites (size M)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin and sunflower seeds or wheat bran
This is how the preparation works:
- separate eggs. Mix the almonds, flaxseeds, 4 tablespoons wheat bran, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the quark and egg white and knead with the dough hook of the mixer to a smooth dough.
- Line the bottom of a loaf tin (25 cm long; 1.8 l capacity) with baking paper, brush the tin with water and sprinkle with 1-2 tbsp of wheat bran. Fill the dough into the mold, and sprinkle with pumpkin and sunflower seeds or wheat bran.
- Bake in the preheated oven (electric stove: 175 °C/convection oven: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 50 minutes. Let the bread rest in the tin for 10-15 minutes, then loosen the edges and carefully turn it out of the tin. Let the bread cool down.
