Oil has been proven to damage the endothelial lining in arteries. In trying to reduce the amount we get, I used a recipe that came with my Zojirushi machine when making whole wheat sandwich bread and altered it significantly to make it vegan and fat free. This is my version of that recipe. This recipe can be used without the Zojirushi machine, but you may want to keep your hands moist to reduce sticking that occurs without the oil or alternatively you can keep your hands floured until the dough ball is well formed. Go ahead, Experiment! Play with that dough!
Also please note that using other wheat berries is possible but you may need to adjust your leavening agent, and you may need more vital wheat gluten for structure depending on the grain. Again, Play with it and find out what works for you! Enjoy this fat free vegan whole wheat bread recipe!!
***In the video, I used 2 Tablespoons of yeast. You should NOT need to use that much if you have a good yeast. Mine was almost dead. The amount used in the recipe below is the correct amount for live yeast.
Enjoy this fat free whole wheat bread recipe, perfect for you Zojirushi bread machine!
