Barley bread, that's new to me. I don't think I have seen it in shops, or do you make your own.
the "Easybake" bread mixes were still on sale at our local branches in Lancashire yesterday (Sunday).dont know if lidl still sell the easybake low gi bread?.. called countrystyle?.. supposedly rye and sourdough are the best combo for low gi?.. are there other mixes that are similar?
Oops, sorry, I went back and edited my post to correct it - you must have seen it before I made the change - I typed barley first (and it IS delicious), but meant to type buckwheat - not quite as nice, but much lower gi.
Barley is only slightly lower than wheat.
Buckwheat is much lower.
Mind you - worth trying both. Sometimes wheat spikes more than its gi deserves.
Hope that wasn't too confusing!
No worriesI used to buy the barley and buckwheat in flour bags, just like any other, from the health food shop.
Doves Farm flour company do a buckwheat flour. I've just looked it up and been reminded that it has no gluten, so I must have been making it as soda bread - it was 5 years ago, so my memory is patchy).
This looks familiar-ish:

I know I was making the barley bread in a bread maker, and I know I used 100% barley flour for it. I made it so often... I am sure I just used the normal whole wheat bread recipe, substituting barley flour for wheat flour. Yet all the recipes I've found just now on the net stress out about the lack of gluten. Weird.
I'm sorry if I'm sending you on a wild goose chase!
