Low GI Wholewheat Bread

This hearty bread is made with wholewheat flour, which is great for keeping your blood sugar levels stable while still being incredibly tasty. Let’s start by gathering our ingredients to create this scrumptious loaf.

Ingredients

3 cups wholewheat flour
1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (or any vegetable oil)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine warm water and honey (or maple syrup). Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes, until it’s frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholewheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the frothy yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
Stir the mixture until a dough begins to form. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it is manageable.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased bread tin.
Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30–45 minutes, or until it has risen just above the rim of the tin.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
