This is one of my favorite “healthy” breads. If you have taken a look through the yeast bread section of my recipe page, you will find that I am much more likely to make a maple ring or a carrot cake donut than a whole wheat bread. I am working on that….slowly. It’s not that I don’t enjoy good-for-me foods. They just aren’t as fun. I am working on that, too….slowly.
The recipe for this bread came out of a diet book. I wish I remembered which. Over the years, I have looked into just about every fad diet out there. That’s what libraries are for. After checking out the books, reading through the whys and wherefores of the diets, I would copy a few of the recipes and then check the book back in. It seems to work better for me to incorporate the good tasting recipes of many diet plans than to use one three week plan over and over and over. That is, when I do diet.
This bread? Well , I like it whether or not I am watching my weight, sugar, salt, fat or whatever intake. It is amazing with peanut or any other nut butter.
