I posted this Question on Phase 1 but I should have posted it here.
Does anyone make their own bread? If so, would you share your recipe? I'm thinking ahead to Phase 2,
I read that in Phase 2 you can have sprouted bread. Is Ezekial bread Ok?

I am sure there are people who bake their own bread here. And there are probably recipes in recipelover's Recipe Summary sticky thread in the Food and Recipe forum. Actually that's probably a better forum than either this one or P1. I'll probably move this one there actually.
And yes I believe Ezekial bread is fine. just remember 30 gms is a serving of bread/grains. But also 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain breads are fine too per the guidelines. There's probably a link in the P2 FAQ sticky thread that explains breads in more detail and also gives a list of some recommended bread types. Although it is an old list and there are many more whole wheat/whole grain options on the market now as "whole grains" have become more marketable. The downside is that many things labeled as whole grain or whole wheat to capitalize on the marketing, aren't 100% whole wheat/grain or contain other ingredients that may not be as SB friendly. |

Thank you, I have been a little confused about this. I'm also concerned about going to bread because it is my big down fall.

There is no requirement to eat bread or bread products. The guideline is for whole grains or starchy veggies like sweet potato and winter squashes. Bread is still a fairly refined whole grain product and there are lots of other whole grains I would introduce first before breads or pastas anyway, like oatmeal, quinoa, barley, and the starchy veggies. If it's a known trigger food for you, why even try to reintroduce it?
Here's a non-SB article on whole grains you might find interesting:

Good idea! I know I can't eat higher carb it the morning so I'll stay away from oatmeal. My blood sugar will drop by 10am. I will incorporate higher carb veggies in the evening.
Thanks again, you have been a lot of help.

| I make my own bread using Spelt flour. Do you have a bread machine? If so i'll be happy to share my recipes. I just use Spelt flour instead of regular white flour. It makes the bread alot less dense than whole wheat flour. :D |

Even after years of living the SB lifestyle I still always incorporate some kind of protein and/or fat when I eat cereal/oatmeal in the morning. In cereal I toss a small handful of almonds or walnuts and my oatmeal has some Smart Balance or pb in it. My body has adjusted to being able to handle grains in the am over time but still I would rarely eat a grain or starchy vegetable by itself. It's a trick I learned here pretty early on that has made my journey much easier! :) |

carolie, I will try that later. I was wondering if adding protein/fat to the complex carb would help my blood sugar in the morning. For now, I will have a little protein of some sorts and a V8.

If you find that your home made whole wheat bread is too heavy and dense, add 1 tablespoon of wheat gluten PER CUP of flour in your recipe. Wheat gluten is the protien in wheat that gives framework to the bread dough, so it can rise and stay light. This works!
I get the gluten at a bulk food store, but I have seen it at Wal-mart in the baking isle. It is not very expensive and it makes a world of difference in 100% whole wheat bread.
The gluten is easier to mix in if you stir it into the dry flour. Don't add it to the liquid before the four goes in, or you will get lumps! |
