Low Calorie Bread Recipe

Low Calorie Bread Recipe

Lose Weight By Eating
This low calorie bread recipe needs just 3 ingredients! It's low cost and uses only familiar ingredients. In fact, you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry now!
If you want to lower the calories even more, slice the bread into thin slices. I recommend using a serrated bread knife to do this.

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.
