Bread Machine Low Phe Bread

In our house I make about one loaf of bread a week. This bread recipe is great because it is sturdy enough to cut easily and use for bread pizza. It is adapted from the Apples to Zucchini cookbook by Virginia Schuett. Virginia's recipe calls for Wel-Plan baking mix. Although I followed the recipe in the beginning, I soon realized I only used the Wel-Plan for this bread. I switched to an all wheat starch base and added xanthum gum. The result is a really nice bread that is VERY low in Phe.

My machine

Ingredients:
300g Wheat Starch ( I get mine from Taste Connections)
1/4 teaspoon xanthum gum
3 tablespoons Metamucil (original flavor)
2 tablespoons Coffee-Mate (original flavor)
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast
290g water (optional: mixed with 1 tablespoon of molasses for color)

Toss it into the bread machine. I add the ingredients as listed and then start while I add the water. Remember to scrape down the sides!

This is what you end up with. I did not add molassas to this loaf and I have to admit it's not the best of the many I have made. For some reason it didn't rise as much as the others usually do. Anyway, it still tastes great and my little girl loves it! 

I slice the loaf in half and then into slices. Phe is about 9mg per slice for 16 slices.

Enjoy!
