Health and fertility benefits of Walnut Wheat Bread Recipe

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, walnuts, brown sugar, butter, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat water, yogurt and butter to 120 °-130 °; stir into flour mixture. Add enough of the remaining all-purpose to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each portion into a 15-in. rope. Place the ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375 ° for 23-28 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.
