Bread can be a diet product, too!

Hunza bread: probably the most popular type of diet bread, Hunza bread was originally prepared by Hunzas, one of three longest-living civilisations in the world. Basically, it is a variation of normal whole wheat bread, but with a nice twist that makes it a low-calorie product. A tip: if you double or triple the amount of honey you use to make the bread, the calorie value will increase a little, but the bread will reduce your hunger much faster. Most of the time it is a fair trade.

Ingredients: 2 cups of bread flour, a cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of wheat germ, a pack of active dry yeast, 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of salt, ginger, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of dried fruits (dark and golden raisins, apricots, or pineapple) and one and a half cups of warm water.

• How to make Hunza bread: Place all the ingredients in a bowl, mix and knead the dough. Use as much cinnamon and ginger as you need for your taste. When the dough is ready, shape it into two loaves of bread. Use a lightly greased pan and bake the loaves on them until they double their size.
