3 Ingredient Low Calorie Bread Recipes

3 INGREDIENT HEALTHY OAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8 x 4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper. If you don't have this size baking pan see notes for other options.
• In a large mixing bowl add oat flour and baking powder. Whisk until baking powder is evenly incorporated into the flour. If desired, you can also mix in 1/2 tsp salt. This will not affect the bread texture but will add a little more flavor to the bread. If you are trying to make a sweet bread, don't add the salt.
• Add in the yogurt. When adding in the yogurt, make sure to not drain out any of the liquid from the yogurt that may be at the top. You want to use that liquid in the bread. Use a spatula to slowly add the yogurt into the batter. Keep folding in the yogurt until it is evenly and completely incorporated. Your dough should be very thick and very sticky.
• Scrape your dough into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to help evenly spread the dough across the pan. Dampen your fingers with a tiny bit of water and then lightly press on the surface of the bread to smooth out the dough. If desired, sprinkle about 1 tbsp of rolled oats across surface and gently press the oats slightly into the surface of the bread so that they stick when baking.
• Bake bread for about 40-45 minutes. The bread should be lightly browned on top and when you press on the surface it should bounce back and not sink in. Let bread cool before cutting and serving. Bread can be toasted or eaten as is with your favorite spread.

LOW CALORIE BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the white whole wheat flour, wheat germ, salt, and sugar, and mix until combined. In a large mixing bowl, add the yeast and warm water and let it dissolve. Add the bowl of mixed dry ingredients, along with the oil and yogurt, and whisk until combined. Gently fold through the bread flour until a firm dough remains.
• Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Lightly grease two mixing bowls. Divide the dough into two portions and place each ball of dough into the greased bowls, and roll around, until the exterior is covered in some of the oil. Cover each bowl of dough and let it sit in a warm area for around an hour, to double in size and rise.
• Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans and set them aside. Remove the balls of dough and place them once more on a floured surface. Shape each ball of dough into a loaf shape and place them into the greased loaf pan. Cover the pans and let them rise until around double in size, approximately 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 185C/375F. Place the loaves in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, brush the crust with butter or olive oil.
