Does bread made from Stone ground flour act as a low carb food?

[serenity648]

I found this site whilst searching for effects of stone ground whole wheat flour on blood sugar. Little info so far, but will persevere. Unlike many other posters, I bake bread regularly, and have recently switched to a locally farmed stone ground whole wheat. Your recipe looks super. Will definitely try it, although can't give blood sugar results, as I'm pre-diabetic and don't have testing facilities. I am curious about the reason for the sugar. It's not a lot, but there is no need for sugar in soda bread. In yeast bread it facilitates the rising but soda bread depends on the soda and acidic liquid. I make soda bread weekly and on its own, with no sugar, it has a pleasant very slightl sweet taste (from natural sugars in the milk?). Suspect your bread would be as good without. Appreciate the post.

I make my own bread, using stoneground whole wheat bread flour. It doesnt sent my blood sugars up the way even ordinary wholemeal flour does. i dont know why.

I still have to test my sugars after as I can only have a slice or two at a time. I use lots of butter when I have it, or make sure I have cheese.

I use this, as I live nearby: Bacheldre Watermill organic stoneground 100% wholemeal flour

PS I make it the slow way, I dont have a breadmaker, dont know if that makes a difference too
