Please omit the sugar from this recipe and sub Smart Balance or another SBD approved product for the margarine. I haven't tried the recipe yet, but according to a web site on baking you don't necessarily need sugar for the yeast to rise.

Please let us know how this worked out for you.

awesome luv, thanks! :Love3: will make it tonight hopefully

well i made this one below last night (modified a bit). i have got the one luv posted in the bread machine right now. i will be taking my parents a fresh warm loaf of of nutritional homeade wheat bread!

Whole Wheat Bread For Bread Machine
For 1 1/2 lb. bread machine

1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
3 to 3 1/2 cups 100% white whole wheat flour or classic whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sunflower, sesame or flax seeds, or a combination (optional)
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast

I used sugarfree syrup instead of honey. didnt use the nuts, but added some flaxmeal & wheat germ or was it wheat bran...? i dont remember which it is, got it from a bulk bin (i need to write what it is on the twisty tie!). i did not have any wheat gluten, so one end did fall a bit. is wheat gluten allowed on P2? the bread was great, wholesome, dense & chewy. husband loved too, so did my neighbor.

Your recipe sounds really tasty! I'm going to have to give it a try.

To answer your question about wheat gluten, yes, it's allowed on phase 2. And you're so sweet to think of your parents by taking a loaf to them!

Tamstar pm'd me that the bread recipe I posted didn't rise for her.

Has anyone else tried this recipe? Would you mind posting your results?

I'll give it a try as soon as I'm finished with re-doing phase one, in about another week. Just thought that someone else might have had an experience with the recipe.

Thanks!

i'm sure it was me luv...i think i got the yeast on the salt. i believe i read somewhere that if the yeast & the salt touch too much while putting the ingredients in the loaf pan, that the salt can deactivate the yeast and the dough won't rise. i will experiment again next month and add the wheat gluten. i did like the taste & texture of the one i made with the sugarfree syrup...it didnt make the bread supersweet, just had a nice molasses kind of taste, & was dense & chewy. even though the other one didnt rise well, it tasted fine, my parents enjoyed it! i am waiting until next month to try again so i can limit my bread intake! that is my rule for myself for now ;-0

Oh, okay! Thanks for the reply, hon. I just wanted to warn the others that the recipe I posted might not work so well for them.

I didn't know about the salt and yeast thing. I'm not much of a baker, can you tell? I'll be trying it out in a week and I'll post my results then.
