Low Calorie Bread Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep: I like to make several loafs at a time, then I add the extra loafs to gallon freezer bags and freeze them for later in the month. Another really great tip, I find that the bread is easier to slice the colder it is. So I often or refrigerate or freeze the meal prep loaf before slicing.
Refrigerator Storage: Will hold in the fridge for 5-7 days. Recommended storage is plastic bag, ideally air tight.
Freezer Storage: Will hold in the freezer for 1-2 months. Recommended storage is air tight bag with extra air removed.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup hot water
- 2 packets rapid rise yeast (or 1 ½ tablespoons)
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Line a bread loaf with parchment paper (if you crumple it up in a ball and then smooth out first, it’s easier.)
- In a large bowl combine the water and yeast, leave it foam up for 5 minutes.
- Add in the flour and salt and mix until well combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and then a kitchen towel, and leave to rise for 1 hour.
- When the dough has doubled in size, move it to the loaf pan and cover again with the plastic wrap and towel.
- After one more hour of rising it shook have doubled in size again. At the time, preheat your oven to 450 degrees and remove the parchment paper and towel.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Slice into 22 slices, and serve.
Notes
Ingredient Swaps:
-
- Flour – you can use gluten free 1:1 (one to one flour) or whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose.
-
- Yeast – if you don’t have rapid rise, regular bread yeast will work, but it might take a little longer to rise.
-
- Salt – if you are looking to lower the sodium, you can skip the salt or cut the amount in half.
