Irish Soda Bread

I like a nice big slice of this with zucchini butter or rhubarb sauce on it for breakfast.

Irish Soda Bread (Almost Level 1 carbo)

1 cup fat free milk
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 2/3 cups white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar substitute (I use Whey Low)
3/4 cup Promise fat free margarine.
2/3 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
2 teaspoons sugar substitute

Measure out the milk and mix in the lemon juice. Let it sit while you prepare the pan.

Preheat Oven to 350. Prepare a 9” loaf pan by flouring with a combination of flour & sugar substitute.

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the margarine using a pastry cutter or your fingers. You want the margarine evenly distributed and fully incorporated into the dry ingredients.

Add the dried cranberries and mix in.

Add the milk mixture, it should be soured and curdled. Mix in gently and thoroughly.

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar substitute over the top.

Bake in preheated 350 oven for 45 minutes. When done, the loaf will be lightly golden in color with some darker coloring. Remove from oven and allow to cool, then remove from pan. Slice to serve.

Enjoy!

Peasant Bread

This is a very basic simple bread. The smell and taste are kind of nutty - and what a texture!

Peasant Bread (Level 1 carbo)

1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup old fashioned or quick oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups fat free milk**
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons amber agave nectar

Preheat oven to 425.

Measure out and sift the flours and baking soda into a medium to large mixing bowl. Don't skip sifting or you will have lumps in the bread. Add the oats, wheat germ and salt and stir together. Make a well in the dry ingredients.

Add the vinegar to the milk and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Then add the agave nectar to the milk and stir with a fork until the agave nectar is dissolved in the milk.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients by pouring wet ingredients into the well. Combine by stirring in with a wooden spoon.

Flour your work surface. Turn the dough onto the work surface and shape into a rounded oval. Remove to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

Bake for 15 minutes. Turn temperature down to 400 and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Bread will be done when it sounds hollow when you tap it.

Remove from oven, turn out onto wire rack and cool for 20 minutes.

This bread is great for munching on big hunks with nothing on it, or slathered with fat free cream cheese or ricotta, or jam. Dunk it into no-oil marinara sauce.....Easiest bread you will ever make.and no bread machine required.

** You can substitute fat free plain yogurt for the soured milk mixture. Just eliminate the vinegar - mix the agave nectar into the yogurt and follow directions as above.

Enjoy!
