I wished to know if any members have found a bread that does not make their sugars spike.
I am a GP working with diabetics - my diabetics all tell me what they have had to give up; I just say that if eating 1 unt is enough it is fine. I have a bread recipe that is so satisfying that 1 slice is enough. I am not diabetic and have needle phobia so wondered anyone was curious enough to try the recipe to see what it does to blood sugars!
Soda Bread Recipe
2 x284ml buttermilk (can buy 1 litre cartons of Polish buttermilk and top up to 568ml)
420g Stoneground (bigger particles) wholemeal flour
4 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons golden linseed
150g oats plus a few more to sprinkle on the top
1 teaspoon muscovado (any brown sugar will do)
3/2 (1 and a half) teaspoon salt
3/2 (1 and a half) bicarbonate of soda
Oven gas mark 5 / 190 degree C / 375 F
Put 284 ml in bowl
Add 2/3 wholemeal flour and all the seeds
Add in rest of buttermilk; the rest of the flour, oats,
sugar salt, and bicarbonate of soda.
Mix thoroughly.
Grease loaf tin with butter.
Scrape the mixture not the tin.
Smooth the top and sprinkle a thin layer of oats and drop the tin on the table top a couple of times to make sure the mixture has settled.
Bake for 1 hour - turn round half way if oven has hot spots.
Turn out bread; turn off oven and put loaf back in oven for 10 mins.
We make 2 loaves at a time and freeze one.
