South Beach Diet Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

If you’re looking for a lighter bread that still uses whole wheat flour, this White Whole Wheat Bread with Olive Oil is amazing!

I’m guessing there must be at least one regular reader of my blog who’s looking at that White Whole Wheat Bread with Olive Oil and thinking I’ve abandoned my carb-conscious diet principles and succumbed to the joys of freshly baked bread. But stay with me for a minute here!

Bread

While it’s true that this bread isn’t especially low in carbs, here’s the ingredient list: white whole wheat flour, yeast, salt, vital wheat gluten, olive oil, and water. This is a healthier bread recipe for making bread at home and it’s easy to make as well! And I think the olive oil gives this white whole wheat bread a delightful flavor, and with 14 net carbs per slice this is a pretty healthy bread that’s not too huge of a splurge in carbs.
