I am working out a diet plan to lower my cholesterol and I am including many complex carbohydrates, including whole grain breads. Yum! I have tried a few recipes so far, and am about to attempt your recipe. What I would like to know is if you have calculated out the nutritional information for this recipe. Whole wheat breads seem to have a huge variation in nutritional value, many of which don't appear to be any healthier than the white stuff you can buy in the stores.umtu momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372358068668551820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743919178082251405.post-77397292680145253822007-10-02T23:10:00.000-07:002007-10-02T23:10:00.000-07:00I made this today and it is sooooo good!I made this today and it is sooooo good!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883718777962640748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743919178082251405.post-63024726194550818012007-09-11T10:37:00.000-07:002007-09-11T10:37:00.000-07:00I have been the fortunate recipient of several bat...I have been the fortunate recipient of several batches of this delicious bread!

It has been extracted from flour and sold as pure wheat gluten. <BR/><BR/>What is known as "gluten flour" is high-gluten flour, or bread flour. It's white flour that has extra gluten added to it so that it's good for making white bread, rolls, etc. Of course, it's not good for you!<BR/><BR/>Seitan is something that the chinese came up with eons ago. If you've ever had mock duck, chicken, etc it's made from wheat gluten. You can make it from vital wheat gluten flour, but I think it tastes better when you make your own. You can use whole grain or white flour to make it, that doesn't matter.<BR/><BR/>Basically you make a dough with flour and water (I do small batches in my food processor and combine them in the end), then let the ball soak for at least an hour in water to develop the gluten further. Then you rinse out all the starch under water until you're left with the gluten. You can flavor it in many ways, then you cook it at low heat. When it's cooked it's called "seitan". Very high in protein, as that's what gluten is. The texture is reminiscent of meat. <BR/> <BR/>Hope I explained it ok!Rebecca Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378726097105313400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743919178082251405.post-73671852893098181862007-09-10T11:37:00.000-07:002007-09-10T11:37:00.000-07:00I have been looking for a good wheat bread recipe....I have been looking for a good wheat bread recipe. I want you to know that I went and got gluten flour for this (I have never used it before). WOW! $5.99 for just over a pound! Luckily they also had it in the bulk section and it was only $2.39 a pound there. I am going to make some this week.

I just heat up the water in a tupperware container (like about 2 cups) for 3 minutes. Then I pour in the cereal so that the water and the cereal are the same depth.<BR/><BR/>I put a lid on it and wait 15 minutes or so while I am working. If there is excess water I just zap it for 30 to 45 seconds and then it is ready to consume.<BR/><BR/>I actually prefer to cover it with yogurt like the 60 cent container size. I mix it all up and chow down.General Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816656696218270756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743919178082251405.post-37362433863236894302007-09-07T12:06:00.000-07:002007-09-07T12:06:00.000-07:00Hi Amy, this recipe is a bit different from the se...Hi Amy, this recipe is a bit different from the set for life one in that it calls for 1 cup of honey instead of 1/2 and applesauce instead of oil. I am glad you like it. Both ways are great! <BR/>The easiest way for me to make whole wheat cereal is to buy the Bob's red mill cereals. I love steel cut oats and the 10 grain mix. I cook it according to package directions. I can buy cracked wheat in bulk at a local grocery store, and so I cook that like I do rice. 3 parts cracked wheat, 4 parts water. I bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes. My favorite thing to do is make the whole package, and keep the extra in the fridge. It stores well, and saves time on crazy mornings. My hubby "general Wolfe, makes his at work in the microwave. I will see if I can get him to post how he does that. For lunch I sometimes make a huge pot of tomato based vegatable and bean soup. I keep it stored in the fridge too, sometimes in small containers in the freezer. It makes a great lunch - especially when I am in a hurry, which is almost always. Leftovers from a healthy dinner (I always make lots) go great in jam containers. We pop them in the freezer and have personal "lean cuisines"Calamity Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269828772771944034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743919178082251405.post-66104457123403811182007-09-07T11:31:00.000-07:002007-09-07T11:31:00.000-07:00Yep!
