When it comes to homemade bread, my favorite recipes to make are keto bread, microwave English muffins, and this low calorie bread.
During my university days, I gained quite a bit of weight. While I had an active lifestyle, my lifestyle choices were another story. My diet was primarily made of fast food and frozen meals, and my drink of choice was soda. Over the course of two years, I had gained 20 excess pounds!
Keto Bread Recipe
Fortunately, one of my friends had lost weight following a low calorie diet. They passed on all their knowledge to me and I embarked on my very own diet. One of my biggest fears was giving up some of my daily staples, including bread. Luckily, I didn’t have to worry, as grocery stores were stocked with plenty of low calorie bread options. Over a 6 month period, I successfully lost the 20 pounds I had gained!
Even after my weight loss, I still continued to enjoy some of the low calorie foods I ate during this period, especially the bread. However, I recently noticed that the ingredients included things I was not a fan of, including high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. I grew up eating homemade bread that my mom made, so I adapted one of her recipes to make a low cal version!
I’ve been meaning to share a low calorie bread recipe for quite some time. It’s been perfect to fit into my daily diet and uses healthy and wholesome ingredients. It may be low in calories but it is full of flavor! The texture is soft, fluffy, and with a tender crumb. It tastes like any good white or wheat bread and is perfect when toasted!
Keto Farmers Bread Fiber Low Carb Breakfast Bread
As someone who used to rely on the grocery store low calorie bread, having a homemade version has been a game changer. The ingredients are cleaner and I can slice it as thin or thick as I liked. Besides, there is truly nothing better than fresh bread!
In a small bowl, add the flour, wheat germ, salt, and sugar, and mix until combined. In a large, separate bowl, add your warm water and yeast and let it dissolve. Add the small bowl of dry ingredients, along with the oil and yogurt whisk together until combined. Slowly add the bread flour until a firm dough remains.
Next, lightly flour a kitchen surface and transfer the dough on top of it. Gently knead the dough for 5-6 minutes, until smooth. Lightly grease two large mixing bowls and divide the dough into two equal portions. Place each portion of dough into the bowls and roll around, for the exterior to be lightly coated in oil. Cover each bowl of dough and let it rise in a warm area for an hour, to rise.

Now, remove the dough from the bowls and once again, place it back onto a floured surface. Shape each portion of dough into a loaf shape and place them in 9 x 5-inch loaf pans that have been lightly greased. Cover each loaf and let them rise until they have doubled, around 30 minutes.
Finally, preheat the oven to 185C/375F. Place the loaves in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, lightly brush some melted butter or olive oil on the top.
Bread can easily be incorporated as part of a weight loss plan, irrespective of calories. It all depends on what your daily caloric limit is and how much you are willing to put towards bread.

I recommend choosing bread that is made up of wholegrains and is high in fiber, to keep hunger at bay. Also, try to stick to slices of bread that have no more than 200 calories per two slice serving.
Low calorie bread can be healthy, depending on what ingredients are used. There are some diet brands that add extra sugar or artificial sweeteners into their loaves to bring down the calorie count, but health-wise, it isn’t the best choice.

Keto Yeast Bread
I’m a two time cookbook author, photographer, and writer, and passionate about creating easy and healthier recipes. I believe you don’t need to be experienced in the kitchen to make good food using simple ingredients that most importantly, taste delicious.You don't have to give up the taste of freshly baked bread when watching your carb or total calorie intake. Choose a delicious low-calorie, whole-wheat bread recipe. Use the recipe below as a side or starter for any meal, or slice up loaves for a mouth-watering low-calorie sandwich.
Following a few simple steps means you can enjoy the taste of fresh bread without the extra calories (and feelings of guilt).
The following nutrition information applies to the low-cal, whole-wheat bread recipe above. It was calculated for 20 slices using the USDA's Food Tracker.
High Protein Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (light + Fluffy)
Whole wheat breads can range around 120 or more per slice according to calculators like FatSecret and CalorieLab, depending on the recipe used and number of servings. For a lower calorie count in the recipe above, slice the bread thinly.
Whole wheat bread is an excellent source of complex carbs, fiber, vitamins and minerals. When bread is made fresh, the flavor of whole wheat flour really comes through, enhancing any meal. Whole wheat flour is created by grinding the entire wheat kernel, including the germ and bran, which makes for a more nutrient-dense flour.
Flour made from whole wheat creates a heavier bread desired by many bakers. But, if 100% whole wheat flour is too heavy or doesn't rise enough for your taste, you try substituting some of the whole wheat flour with regular bread flour. When you're in a pinch, you can also use all-purpose flour.
Easy Keto Bread
Grains supply your body with vital nutrients. However, if you're looking to reduce calories in bread to cut overall calories for healthy weight management, rework your bread recipe a bit. Leave out malt syrup, sugar, or honey entirely if your recipe calls for it. Or, simply cut your bread into thinner slices in hopes you'll consume less of it, especially when using whole wheat bread for sandwiches.
Keep your bread guilt-free by topping it with fresh veggies, low-calorie spreads, and other healthy low-cal fixings that fill you up without the extra calories. That way, you can enjoy your healthy bread without feelings of guilt.
