Instructions

  1. Dissolve brown sugar in 1 cup hot water. Add shortening, and stir to melt. Let cool.

  2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 4 cups warm water. Add white sugar, salt, and bread flour. Beat well. Stir in shortening mixture. Stir in enough whole wheat flour to make a stiff but not dry dough.

  3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a large, well oiled bowl. Cover, and allow to rise until dough doubles in bulk.

  4. Divide dough into four equal parts. Shape into loaves. Place in greased, 9 x 5 inch pans, turning each loaf over in pan to grease top. Allow to rise until dough doubles in bulk.

  5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Whole Wheat Bread II that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
