Very intriguing in fact. <br />What does one make with such a kind of flour... I have no idea!<br />I still have a huge crush on making breads and I make them out of anything I can. That is how this bread was conceptualized.<br /><br />"Weird" one may call... Or call it "bold", but someone has to do it. I knew it was somehow going to be a dense bread. I added more moisture than I would for a normal bread to make it lighter and get those darn little air pockets which I love in my bread (more on that technique later... later as in... the next bread post)<br /><br />This turned out to be a no-knead bread, just because the dough was not ideal for kneading. And this way it was quicker and effortless too. I added vital gluten, to add to the protein value.<br /><br />I would request whoever is reading this to take up the tag and bake something that you are comfortable with for a good cause. I am not tagging anyone in particular. <br />But if you can, do bake and make it count.

Their aim is to break the cycle of poverty and help communities to achieve long term self-sustainability. Breadline Africa was founded in 1993 by social workers and communities in South Africa with minded colleagues in Europe, (who were well placed to source out donations). They are geared to help fund small ground level projects in Africa which are most likely to succeed with financial help.<br /><br />It launched the <a href="http://www.bloggerbakeoff.com/">Worldwide Blogger Baker Bake-Off Challenge</a> aiming at raising $ 1 M in funds. This bake-off gives us baking bloggers the power to make a difference in this world. What do we do? Bake bread. Give Dough. Feed Africa. Vals says, "You can <a href="http://www.bloggerbakeoff.com/register-stepone">sign up for the campaign</a>, make a donation, upload your bread recipes and document your culinary adventures in the media center to spread the word.

Mix it with the yeast mixture.<br /><br />With a heavy wooden spatula mix everything together. There should be no lumps or unmixed spots.<br /><br />Grease a large bowl and transfer the dough and let it sit for 2 hours.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30493790@N08/3179754141/" title="IMG_4754 by blogdivya, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3439/3179754141_6526a02ca2.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_4754" /></a><br /><br />After two hours it should have risen a little.

I have made a lot of new friends, and a lot of new, healthy recipes that I am proud of.<br />Along the way, I have learnt a lot of things about cooking and eating healthy which I would have been clueless about a few years back. Thanks to all the encouragement from my family and friends.<br /><br />There is this tradition that I believe in (so do a lot of people) that making and eating something sweet today, will make the whole year sweet and enjoyable.<br />Chocolate says festive, joy and sweetness to me. And a brownie is an excellent way to put all there is in a chocolate to play. This is my healthy take on this <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/george-duran/microwave-brownies-recipe/index.html">recipe</a> from George Duran of Food Network. <br />This recipe was requested by one of my friends from school... she wanted them,<br />low-fat, relatively healthy, sugar free and one that can be made in a microwave quickly.<br /><br />I have covered almost all of them except for the sugar part. I used regular granulated sugar but it may be substituted with Splenda if you are making it for a diabetic person. You could also use Agave as a slightly better alternative for regular sugar.<br /><br />Whole wheat pastry flour is one of the healthiest forms of flour out there, and is suitable for baking and making pastries. If you don't get this where you live, then you may use All purpose flour.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Points to note:</span><br /><br />Use a 8" or 9" pan for baking this, and it should be at least 2"-3" tall. The batter tends to expand a lot while cooking.<br /><br />I baked the brownies for 5 minutes in my microwave. And learnt that 4 minutes (or lesser) in mine would have been ideal since it is quite a powerful microwave.<br />It tasted great when served immediately, but mine dried out a little as time went by.<br /><br />So while making this, <span style="font-weight:bold;"> adjust the cooking time according to your microwave. </span><br />For a normal microwave: 4 1/2 - 5 minutes (exactly) to make this.<br />For a powerful microwave: Not more than 4 minutes.<br /><br />Do not bake in the microwave for more than 5 minutes even if it looks undone. It tends to cook a little during the 3 minute resting period.<br /><br />Go ahead, impress your friends and family with this quick dessert this New Year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30493790@N08/3153654445/" title="middle by blogdivya, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/3153654445_d0b0a3231c.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="middle" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5-minute Microwave Brownies - Low fat & Whole wheat</span><br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />Whole wheat pastry flour - 1/2 c (minus 1 tbsp)<br />Baking powder - 1/2 tsp<br />Eggs - 2<br />Sugar - 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (add more if you like them sweeter) <br />Unsalted butter - 4 tbsp<br />Unsweetened chocolate - 3 oz.<br />Vanilla - 1 tbsp<br />Chopped Walnuts - 1/4 cup<br />Chocolate chips - 1/4 cup (To sprinkle on top)<br /><br />Method:<br /><br />Spray a 9" microwave safe dish and keep aside.<br /><br />Sift whole wheat pastry flour and baking powder and set aside.<br /><br />Beat eggs and sugar and keep aside. Do not use a hand mixer for this. A simple large whisk/large fork would do the trick.<br /><br />In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and the unsweetened chocolate and microwave it for 1-2 minutes till completely melted. Take it out and whisk till shiny and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.<br /><br />Mix in the vanilla, eggs and sugar mixture to this and whisk quickly. Make sure the chocolate is not too hot, or it will scramble the eggs.<br /><br />Add the flour until completely incorporated. Fold in the nuts.<br /><br />Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.

I have made a lot of new friends, and a lot of new, healthy recipes that I am proud of.<br />Along the way, I have learnt a lot of things about cooking and eating healthy which I would have been clueless about a few years back. Thanks to all the encouragement from my family and friends.<br /><br />There is this tradition that I believe in (so do a lot of people) that making and eating something sweet today, will make the whole year sweet and enjoyable.<br />Chocolate says festive, joy and sweetness to me. And a brownie is an excellent way to put all there is in a chocolate to play. This is my healthy take on this <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/george-duran/microwave-brownies-recipe/index.html">recipe</a> from George Duran of Food Network. <br />This recipe was requested by one of my friends from school... she wanted them,<br />low-fat, relatively healthy, sugar free and one that can be made in a microwave quickly.<br /><br />I have covered almost all of them except for the sugar part. I used regular granulated sugar but it may be substituted with Splenda if you are making it for a diabetic person. You could also use Agave as a slightly better alternative for regular sugar.<br /><br />Whole wheat pastry flour is one of the healthiest forms of flour out there, and is suitable for baking and making pastries. If you don't get this where you live, then you may use All purpose flour.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Points to note:</span><br /><br />Use a 8" or 9" pan for baking this, and it should be at least 2"-3" tall. The batter tends to expand a lot while cooking.<br /><br />I baked the brownies for 5 minutes in my microwave. And learnt that 4 minutes (or lesser) in mine would have been ideal since it is quite a powerful microwave.<br />It tasted great when served immediately, but mine dried out a little as time went by.<br /><br />So while making this, <span style="font-weight:bold;"> adjust the cooking time according to your microwave. </span><br />For a normal microwave: 4 1/2 - 5 minutes (exactly) to make this.<br />For a powerful microwave: Not more than 4 minutes.<br /><br />Do not bake in the microwave for more than 5 minutes even if it looks undone. It tends to cook a little during the 3 minute resting period.<br /><br />Go ahead, impress your friends and family with this quick dessert this New Year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30493790@N08/3153654445/" title="middle by blogdivya, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/3153654445_d0b0a3231c.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="middle" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5-minute Microwave Brownies - Low fat & Whole wheat</span><br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />Whole wheat pastry flour - 1/2 c (minus 1 tbsp)<br />Baking powder - 1/2 tsp<br />Eggs - 2<br />Sugar - 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (add more if you like them sweeter) <br />Unsalted butter - 4 tbsp<br />Unsweetened chocolate - 3 oz.<br />Vanilla - 1 tbsp<br />Chopped Walnuts - 1/4 cup<br />Chocolate chips - 1/4 cup (To sprinkle on top)<br /><br />Method:<br /><br />Spray a 9" microwave safe dish and keep aside.<br /><br />Sift whole wheat pastry flour and baking powder and set aside.<br /><br />Beat eggs and sugar and keep aside. Do not use a hand mixer for this. A simple large whisk/large fork would do the trick.<br /><br />In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and the unsweetened chocolate and microwave it for 1-2 minutes till completely melted. Take it out and whisk till shiny and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.<br /><br />Mix in the vanilla, eggs and sugar mixture to this and whisk quickly. Make sure the chocolate is not too hot, or it will scramble the eggs.<br /><br />Add the flour until completely incorporated. Fold in the nuts.<br /><br />Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
