Healthy Hemp Bread

Hi there everyone!  Happy Thursday!  For me, in beautiful California, it is going to be another fabulous Fall day!  Autumn is my favorite time of year and October is my favorite month.  Have I mentioned that before?  :p

Lately I have been avoiding buying bread.  It was so much more convenient to buy it, but lately I have been wanting to bake my own.  Especially since I have a bread machine!  Right now I'm trying to use up all the flour that I have had sitting in the cupboard.  All I have left is all-purpose unbleached flour and wheat flour.  

This recipe wasn't followed by a previous recipe.  I just made it up on my own.  I've made bread here and there before, but ALWAYS used a recipe.  These days...eh...

I forgot to take a picture of the bread when it was whole so this is all I have, haha!  The kids needed it for their lunches.  Here is the picture:

It came out pretty dense and oh so good.  I like to put a little bit of sugar in it just to add that little sweetness to it.  One of these days I'll use a better sugar... (the refined kind is just not that great...)...  

Here's the recipe:

1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (that's just what I had. The other times I used the sweetened version).
1 mashed ripe banana
1.5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
maybe a tsp of salt
1.5 tsp quick rising yeast
2 Tbsp raw hemp seeds

First I mashed the banana.  Then I put all of the ingredients in the machine in the order listed as that is the process for my bread machine.  (Liquid first, then the flowers and yeast on top).

My machine can make up to a 2lb loaf.  I didn't weigh this one, so I'm not sure how heavy it is...but it took up about half of the pan.  I suppose since it's more dense it would make it shorter compared to a light and fluffy loaf which would probably be taller... Please, correct me if I'm wrong!  

In Cron-o-meter I was able to write up the recipe and find out all the nutrient facts for the bread.  I figured that the loaf made about 14 slices that are about 1/2 an inch thick.  Per slice:

Calories: 144
Fat: 1g
Cholesterol: 0g
Sodium: 209mg
Total Carbohydrates: 30g
 - Sugars: 9g
 - Dietary Fiber: 2g
Protein: 4g

If you want any other detail information on the nutritional facts, let me know!  Once I finish up with this flour I am going to start playing with gluten free.  Other than the hemp seeds, I'm looking at vegan, gluten free, and fat free!  Or at least super low fat :) 

As far as for those looking at the 80/10/10 aspect, this bread is 81% carbs, 10.3% protein, and 8.5% fat.  Yay me for making it in there!  

If you try this recipe out let me know how it goes and post a picture with comments!!  That would be exciting to hear :) 

Have a great day everyone!
