Does anyone know a tasty recipe for low calorie/low fat 100% whole wheat bread?





I want to start baking again, but more healthy. I'd like to try a low cal and low fat, 100% whole wheat bread. Does anyone have a tasty recipe for one?Does anyone know a tasty recipe for low calorie/low fat 100% whole wheat bread?
I found a recipe for whole wheat rolls/buns. They are incredibly delicious and i have a photo of them on my Flickr page here http://www.flickr.com/photos/herlocket/2567223774/





Heres the recipe:





Whole Wheat Rolls/hamburger buns





2 cups whole wheat flour, divided, plus more for kneading


1 cup water, warm (110F)


2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)


1/4 cup wheat bran


2 tbsp brown sugar


scant 1 1/2 tsp salt


Combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup water and the yeast in a large bowl and stir well. Let it stand, covered, for 1-3 hours (time is flexible here), until nice and bubbly. This “sponge” will probably puff up, too. This is fine.


Stir the remaining flour, wheat bran, brown sugar and salt into the sponge. Add extra flour a tablespoon at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding extra flour as necessary to prevent sticking, for 6-8 minutes or until elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 1/2-2 hours.


Turn risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 equal portions. Shape into rounds and flatten (so they’re approx. 3/4 inch thick) onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover rolls with a clean dishtowel and let rise for 45-50 minutes.


Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375.


Bake rolls for 19-20 minutes, until browned. They will sound hollow when the bottom is tapped. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.


Makes 6 burger-sized buns.
