Ingredients
¾ cup modified wheat starch
½ cup vital wheat gluten
¼ cup oat fiber
¼ cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp powdered cellulose (optional for extra fiber boost)
1 tbsp sugar (feeds yeast)
1½ tsp salt
1 tbsp soybean oil or sunflower oil
1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast
1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
1 tsp vinegar (apple cider vinegar preferred)
1 tsp guar gum (optional, for tenderness)
1 tsp sunflower lecithin (optional, for dough smoothness)
Instructions
Prepare Ingredients:
Measure and set out all ingredients. Ensure yeast is fresh and water is warm (not hot).
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together modified wheat starch, wheat gluten, oat fiber, powdered cellulose, whole wheat flour, salt, guar gum, and lecithin.
Activate Yeast:
In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Form the Dough:
Pour the yeast mixture and oil into the dry ingredients. Mix to form a shaggy dough.
Knead the Dough:
Knead by hand for 5–7 minutes or in a stand mixer for 3–5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1–2 hours).
Shape & Second Rise:
Punch down dough gently, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased bread pan. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool:
Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing for best texture and crumb.
