⬇️ How to make Low-Calorie Italian Bread ⬇️
0:04 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
0:10 In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water and yeast. Stir to combine and set aside for roughly 30 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
0:28 While waiting, whisk together flour and salt.
0:46 After the yeast has bloomed, add your sifted flour mixture and Italian seasoning. Mix until it forms a sticky dough.
1:02 Cover with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm area. Allow the dough to rise for 3 hours. Note that this will not rise as high as a normal bread dough due to the absence of any sweeteners.
1:08 Dust flour on your work area, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it turns smooth. Make sure it doesn’t stick to your hands.
1:23 Form a ball with the dough and transfer this onto your greased baking sheet.
1:33 Cover the dough once again with a damp cloth and set it aside in a warm area. Allow it to rise for the second time for roughly an hour.
1:41 Preheat your oven to 360 degrees F while waiting.
1:49 Score the top of your dough with a sharp knife. Bake the dough for roughly 35 minutes until the crust turns golden. If you prefer a softer crust, bake for roughly 25 minutes instead.
2:07 Once baked, transfer onto cooling racks and set aside until it reaches room temperature. Your Italian bread should sound hollow when tapped, which is a good sign that it has baked nicely.
2:15 Serve your low-calorie Italian bread with ¼ cup of jam and butter. Enjoy while warm!
