Greek Christmas Bread Recipe

1 package (or 1 tablespoon) Active Dry Yeast
1/4 cup Warm Water (110 to 115 degrees)
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Ground Cardamom
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Egg
1/4 cup Milk
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Golden Raisins
1/4 cup Walnuts, chopped

Keywords: Ovo-Lacto

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine the sugar, cardamom,
salt, egg, milk and oil in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the yeast
mixture, flours, raisins and nuts. Mix well. Add enough extra flour
to make soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and
knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a round
loaf.

Put the dough into a lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake pan. Cover with
a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk,
about 1 hour. Bake in a 350-degree oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until
brown.

Is this Greek Christmas Bread Recipe Suitable for Diabetics?

This Greek Christmas Bread recipe comes from our category which lists diabetic Bread recipes. Because we know nothing about your precise medical conditions & the guidelines your medical team has provided, we are unable to say with any degree of certainty that this Greek Christmas Bread recipe is acceptable for you. However, because the recipe author labeled it as `diabetic` it suggests in theory, that it, if nothing else, meets the basic consideration for the tag `diabetic`, being low in carbs & fat, and should be more healthy than a normal recipe. Even taking that into account, this Greek Christmas Bread recipe must only be used if you understand your own condition and are happy that the contents of the recipe are acceptable for you.

This Greek Christmas Bread Recipe is one from the diabetic Bread recipes collection. Obviously, it would be impractical for us to prepare every single one of the diabetic Bread recipes to warrant that they are 100% acceptable for people with diabetes. Our diabetic recipe collection has over two thousand diabetes friendly recipes in it, & to cook each of them at the rate of 7 recipes per week would take far too long. Our advice is to check the recipe ingredients with due care to ensure that all the recipes are compatible with the dietary advice your medical team has offered you. If you suspect that this Greek Christmas Bread recipe is unsuitable for sufferers of diabetes, please let us know & we will withdraw it from our diabetes friendly recipe collection.
