I am glad to welcome all readers of our culinary blog! I suggest you cook delicious and healthy homemade bread with bran in a slow cooker. I think everyone has heard about the miraculous properties of bran. This product is always on sale and is inexpensive. The benefits of bran are due to the presence of dietary fiber (fiber), a huge amount of vitamins and trace elements, the content of biologically active components of whole grains by 90%. I also recommend looking at the recipe.

Ingredients:

• Water (or milk) - 250 ml
• Ground bran - 3 tbsp.
• Sugar - 1 tbsp.
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Flour - about 500 gr.
• Instant dry yeast - 1 tsp

How to cook bran bread in a slow cooker:

I cooked bran bread in a Panasonic 18 multicooker (4.5 liter bowl, 670 W power).

To begin with, we will make a dough, for this we dilute yeast, sugar and 2 tbsp in warm water. flour and leave in a warm place for 15-20 minutes until a yeast cap forms.

In the approached dough, add salt, bran and flour as much as the dough takes during kneading. It should be soft and elastic. Cover the dough with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1.5 - 2 hours until doubled in volume.

Put the finished dough into an oiled multicooker bowl.

Top with seed kernels or sesame seeds.

Close the lid, turn on the heating for 5-10 minutes. Then set the “Baking” mode for 1 hour (for a more powerful multicooker, the time should be reduced).

After a beep, open the lid, remove the bowl of bread, cover with a thick towel, turn the bowl over onto it.
Turn the bread over and bake on the other side for another 20 minutes. All this can be done with the help of a double boiler container (read).

Remove the finished bread with bran from the bowl and cool.

Surely many have heard and some have even tried Dr. Dukan's weight loss method on themselves. He developed his own weight loss program, according to which you can only eat approved foods (from a complete list, which includes from 72 to 100 products). Among them there are no carbohydrate flour products from the wheat we are used to. To diversify the diet, we recommend preparing Dukan bread, that is, pastries from those ingredients that are acceptable for this diet. The recipes are extremely simple, and modern appliances such as a bread machine and a slow cooker will significantly shorten and facilitate the cooking process.

The popularity of the diet

This method of losing weight and stabilizing weight was developed by the Frenchman Pierre Dukan. Although he promoted his idea for over 30 years, it only became popular in 2000, after the release of his book entitled "I Can't Lose Weight". Since then, both the publication and the diet itself have become popular, first in the USA, Europe, where the issue of weight loss was especially acute, and then they came to Russia. The essence of the diet is not to eat small portions of low-calorie foods, but to predominantly consume protein foods (with a small amount of carbohydrates and preferably low-fat) in the quantities that you want to eat.

The whole process is divided into 4 stages, which allow not only to lose the hated kilograms, but also to have such weight in the future almost until the end of life. To do this, you need to adhere to strict principles, using about 100 permitted products. Based on how many kilograms a person wants to lose weight, the duration of each of the four phases is calculated. This is not a quick process at all, for example, it will take 23 weeks to lose 10 kg and consolidate the result, that is, almost six months. This method does give results, but some doctors criticize it, since long-term use of only protein foods can disrupt the functioning of the kidneys.

How to diversify the menu?

Of course, all of the above products do not have to be eaten raw. From them you can cook delicious, sometimes just amazing dishes. And even allow yourself a piece of sweet cake if it is prepared with a sweetener. The most familiar product that we eat every day and without which any diet cannot be imagined is bread. According to Dukan, bran is added to it, not wheat flour. For cooking, only low-fat dairy products are used. In general, the classic recipe is quite simple to prepare, and baking can be entrusted to modern kitchen helpers.

Many housewives who value their time have already become owners of universal appliances that help in the preparation of almost any dish. And Dukan bread is no exception, it can be cooked in a slow cooker. For one loaf, you will need to grind bran into flour (35 g wheat and 70 g oat). Beat 2 eggs with a pinch of salt, add the resulting oatmeal, 10 g of baking powder, 20 g of cottage cheese and spices or sweetener to taste, mix thoroughly with a whisk. Transfer the resulting dough to the multicooker bowl. To prepare bread, use the "Baking" mode, cook for 30 minutes, remove the loaf from the mold and cool.

Dukan bread in a slow cooker can be prepared according to a different recipe, in the form of buns. To do this, you need to grind 15 g into flour, add 150 g of kefir, 2 eggs, 5 g of baking powder and salt to taste, mix. Pour into 4 silicone molds for dough and place on the bottom of the multicooker bowl. Cook for 20 minutes in the "Baking" mode. Such fragrant and low-calorie Dukan bread is suitable not only for those who follow a diet, but also for all adherents of a healthy diet.

Recipe for a bread machine

This device is good because it can independently knead the dough and create the necessary conditions for fermentation. Dukan bread in a bread machine can be prepared with the addition of yeast, as this does not contradict the conditions of the diet. So what ingredients do you need:

• 4 eggs;
• 200 g of oat bran;
• 120 g of soft cottage cheese;
• 100 ml of milk;
• 3 g salt;
• 2 sugar substitute tablets;
• 5 g dry yeast.

The principle of laying food in the bread machine is as follows: first, yeast is poured, then all dry products, and wet and watery on top. This requirement must be observed when the bread will be cooked with a delay in time so that the yeast does not ferment ahead of time, in contact with liquid ingredients. It is advisable to monitor the kneading of this test, and if the device does not capture part of the products, mix them with a spatula. Cooking should be on the main program, designed for 2 hours, in the quick baking mode.

Classic cooking method

Perhaps someone does not have such appliances or does not like to cook pastries in a slow cooker - because there it is not covered with a golden crisp. You can make Dukan bran bread and bake it in a conventional oven. For many housewives, this option is convenient when you can periodically check the readiness of the product. For baking this product, the recipes described above are suitable, but we will offer another option. In 100 ml of kefir, 1 package (approximately 11 g) is diluted. Add 1 tablet of sweetener, ground bran (2 tablespoons of oats and 1.5 tablespoons of wheat), 1.5 tsp. baking powder and 3 tbsp. l. If desired, salt, add herbs and seasonings. Mix into crumbs, add 3 eggs and 1 tbsp. l. cottage cheese. Knead until smooth and put in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. Spread the dough in, sprinkle with 1 tsp. flax seeds.

Bake in an oven preheated to 180-200 ° C for 30-40 minutes. Readiness is checked with a skewer.

How else to diversify the result?

When a chef creates in the kitchen, his imagination is indescribable. To make bread according to Dukan, you can choose any recipe, even take the permitted ingredients by eye. Some housewives are not limited to baking in the oven, bread machine and slow cooker. Someone fries the dough in a pan in the form of pita bread with the addition of grated others use the grill and turn the bread into a hot sandwich with vegetables or pizza, others cook in the microwave. Use any cooking method and the dough recipe you like, because Dukan bread is a very healthy and tasty product.

Sift the flour through a sieve.
Pour 6-7 tablespoons of flour into a deep pan or cup.

Add salt and a couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar (you can use sugar, but powder combines better with flour)

Pour two tablespoons of sunflower oil, you can replace any vegetable oil.

Mix with a wooden spatula. For dough, it is better to use a wooden spatula, because wood is a warm and natural material.
Now pour half a glass of boiling water.

We knead the dough.

We fall asleep a bag of fast-acting yeast.

We mix.
Now you need to pour in a glass of drinking yogurt, you can replace it with Snezhok kefir drink or another sweet fermented milk drink. Before pouring in the yogurt, it needs to be warmed up a little, I put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. During this time, the drink warms up, but does not curtail.

Now we will gradually sift the flour directly into the dough and at the same time knead the dough.

Now it's the turn of the bran. Pour them into the dough, I measure the amount of bran, pour by eye, about 34 cups

We continue to sift the flour little by little and knead the dough.
You need to add flour until the dough becomes more dense. Then knead the dough!!! warm hands.

The dough should hold its shape but not be too hard. Soft and pleasant to the touch, slightly sticky to the hands.
Cover the pan with a towel dampened with hot water and put in a warm place.
After an hour, the dough has risen 2.5 times

And after half an hour it took more than half of a 4-liter pan.

In total, the dough has increased by about 5-6 times.
I needed so much bread, so I cut off a small piece of dough and wrapped the rest in cling film and put it in the freezer.
It keeps well frozen.
I baked bread in a slow cooker.
Lubricate the bottom and walls with oil. Put the dough into the multicooker pan.

We set the "baking" mode, I automatically set the time to 50 minutes in this mode.
It was my first time to bake bread in a slow cooker. It's very comfortable and bakes perfectly. The only negative of the multicooker is that there is no golden crust on top. But for bread all the same, a crispy fresh crust is the most relish!) So I will bake bread in the oven.
The bread turned out very soft and tasty, a little sweet.

I indicate the cost for the expense of all the kneaded dough, there should be about 5 such rolls.
Time without taking into account the waiting for the test to rise, which is 2-3 hours.

Cooking time: PT01H20M 1 h 20 min

Approximate cost per serving: 100 rub.

In an effort to get an ideal body, cleanse the body and simply establish proper and healthy nutrition, people resort to various kinds of diets. One of the most popular and effective is the diet of Pierre Dukan, a nutritionist, which consists of four stages:

1. Attack - the process of rapid weight loss, to form greater motivation.
2. Alternating pure protein foods and proteins in combination with vegetables.
3. Consolidation of results.
4. Stabilization - the use of any food with certain restrictions.

The main goal of the diet is not only to achieve optimal body parameters and weight, but also to maintain them throughout the entire period of life. The main element of the diet is the daily consumption of oat bran, which removes toxins from the intestines, and also quickly saturates the body.

What is bread according to Dukan

An excellent option for inclusion in the daily diet is to replace a product that has been known to people for thousands of years - bread. The exclusion of the wheat product beloved by many is necessary, however, Dukan bread from the microwave easily solves the problem, because the flour in the product is replaced by bran. We note their important useful property - reducing the calorie content of the usual diet due to the absorption of undigested food residues and sugar.

Compound

Dukan bran bread consists of the following ingredients:

1. Oat and wheat bran.
2. Low-fat kefir or yogurt.
3. Chicken eggs.
4. Baking powder (slaked soda with lemon juice).

The benefits of bran

Oat bran itself is represented by the outer layer of the grain, roughly speaking, this is the grain husk from which the flakes are made. Their useful properties are due to the composition:

• a water-soluble form of glucan that lowers blood cholesterol by binding fatty acid residues;
• amino acids and vitamins A, C, D, T, K - will strengthen the body in all aspects;
• zeaxanthin and lutein have a positive effect on vision;
• antioxidant lycopene - reduces the chance of prostate cancer, strengthens the cardiovascular system, speeds up the digestive process, normalizes cholesterol metabolism;
• the most important fiber for the gastrointestinal tract, which cleanses from negative accumulations of food debris in the intestines, lowers blood cholesterol levels, prevents the appearance of gallbladder stones, gives a feeling of satiety, inhibits carbohydrate absorption, and much more;
• macronutrients of minerals - C, Mg, K, Fe, I and others.

We also note that due to the content of solid dietary fiber and fiber, it is recommended to use the product for constipation. Regular consumption of bran in diabetes evens out the glycemic index. And, of course, the most important factor in using them for - they cause a feeling of satiety and accelerate intestinal motility.

Wheat bran is an ideal source of fiber, vitamins of the most important groups for the body, a large amount of sulfur, phosphorus, copper, zinc, iodine and a number of other useful elements. Their main task is to improve digestion, general improvement and cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract. Often they are prescribed to reduce the risk of cancer.

Daily use of bran strengthens the heart system, blood vessels, lowers cholesterol levels, slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, which inhibits the increase in blood sugar (for diabetics). For men, the use of food, which includes bran, restores and maintains potency (improves blood circulation). However, to maintain the benefits of daily intake of substances and maintain the balance of calcium in the body, it is necessary to limit the maximum intake of bran to 3 tablespoons.
