HUNZA DIET BREAD RECIPE
Someone tried to sell me this recipe, so I went on a web hunt. I saw this same recipe on a couple of different sites. This was the quote on both sites- "Hunza Diet Bread is a delicious, dense, chewy bread that's very nutritious and is almost impervious to spoilage. The following recipe makes a huge batch of approximately 60 (sixty) 2 inch squares, high in protein, vitamins and minerals. Keeps weeks at room temperature, even longer in the fridge and indefinitely in the freezer." When I received the e-mail to sell me this bread, it stated that a housewife created it trying to duplicate a recipe from the Hunza's and it resulted in people not being hungry for 6 or more hours. I don't know about you, but I will try just about anything once, and if I don't have to pay for it...all the better!

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients.
- Grease and lightly flour cooking pan(s). Ideally use baking trays with about 1 inch high sides.
- Pour batter in pan(s) half an inch thick over the base.
- Bake at about 300°F (150°C) for 1 hour. After cooking, dry the bread in the oven for two (2) hours at a very low heat - 90°F (50°C). After it is cooled tip out and cut into approx 2x2 inch.
- Suggestions to lose weight with HUNZA DIET BREAD:.
- There are many ways to do it. This is another benefit. It's flexible. Here are some typical plans. Each piece of bread is thinly spread with butter for a total of approximately 100 calories.
- Plan A: Eat 1 piece every 5 hours of the 16 hours you're awake. That's 3 pieces which total 300 calories. This is the fastest way to lose weight I know of. It works faster than any high protein diet. Why? You have more energy and burn more calories. Second, the high fiber bread keeps your digestive system regular. Third, your body stays healthy. A healthy body means a properly functioning metabolic system.
- Plan B: Really gorge yourself with the bread. Two pieces every four hours for a total of 8 pieces but only 800 calories. You'll feel full all day. In fact, I doubt many people could eat this much of the bread.
- Plan C: Eat a piece in the morning for breakfast and a piece 3 hours before your dinner and you will eat a great deal less.
- Plan D: Eat a piece of HUNZA DIET BREAD, 10 minutes before you eat your regular meal. When we do this we eat only a fraction, such as 1/4 of what we would normally eat. If we wait longer than 10 minutes we don't want to eat at all.
- Plan E: Eat the bread at the end of meals that don't fill you up enough, such as low calorie meals. This is a perfect way to use the bread. You eat a low calorie meal, enjoy it, then eat a piece or two of bread to fill you up. Perfect! No suffering and no urge to snack.
- Plan F: Alternate Plan A, B, C, D. We recommend an alternation of the plans, but some people who just want to get the weight off as soon as possible will use Plan A exclusively.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture, egg yolks, margarine and warm milk. Stir until a soft dough is formed. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 6 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in the raisins. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Brush the risen loaves with egg whites. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until golden brown.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be.
- Proof the yeast correctly: This is essential for ensuring that the bread rises properly.
- Knead the dough well: This develops the gluten in the flour, which gives the bread its structure.
- Let the bread rise in a warm place: This will help it to rise properly.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Hunza bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is easy to make at home. It is a great source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. With its unique flavor and texture, Hunza bread is a great addition to any meal.
