Delicious Maple Chocolate Whole Wheat Bread

 (Yes, it's a bit of work, but everything worthwhile is.) 

Start with a large bowl.

Add 5 cups warm water (click here for the best temperature)

Add 2 tbs yeast (stir  gently and just a little with a whisk, spoon, or fork)

Allow to sit for 10 minutes

Add two large eggs

Add 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup

Add 1 tbs salt

Add 1 tsp baking powder

Add 1 tsp baking soda

Add 4 tbs olive oil

(stir with a whisk, spoon, or fork)

Add 10 cups whole wheat flour

stir with something stout

Add 3 cups dark chocolate chips



gently stir with a large sturdy spoon (you can also use your hands)

On a flat nonporous surface, pour out 3 cups rolled oats. (Typically I prefer old fashioned rolled oats, and you can use them for this, but for this recipe, you can also use quick oats.) Spread the oats out so there is a thin layer.  Pour and scoop the dough out on the oats.  Add 2 cups whole wheat flour on top of the dough. Start kneading with your hands.  If after you start kneeding, you need a little more flour, you can add 1-1.5 cups more. This can actually be enjoyable, it can be a stress reliver and a decent exercise.  Click here for: how to knead bread.  BTW, this is one time, as long as it stays on and directly above the surface you are kneading on, this is one time it's ok to get a little aggressive and perhaps work out some of your frustrations.

After kneading just a minute ot two, if needed, add a little more whole wheat flour.


Continue to knead.  Kneading should last in total about 10 minutes.

Place the ball of bread dough back into the original bowl.  There will likely be a little dough left from the original mixing and this will allow it to be absorbed into the bowl.

Place a dry towel over the bowl of bread dough and allow to rise for one hour.

Pour another two cups rolled oats onto the same surface and spread out just enough to allow the risen dough to be placed on the thin layer of oats.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Spray with oil (olive if available) 4 bread pans.

Place the ball of dough on the think layer or oats.  Roll it in the oats to cover the dough.  Cut dough into 4 mostly equal parts. I do not cut to the surface but stop just above and then pull the pieces apart.  Gently roll each part on the think layer of oats.  Place into sprayed bread pans and allow to rise for another hour.

Place in preheated oven and allow and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove, allow to cool, remove loafs of bread.  Enjoy.

 Continue to knead another two or three minutes and add another prepared cup of whole wheat flour. 

Continue to knead.  Kneading should last in total about 12 minutes.

 Place the ball of bread dough back into the original bowl.  There will likely be a little dough left from the original mixing and this will allow it to be absorbed into the bowl.

I AVOID 5 FOODS & my body is 30 YEARS YOUNGER! Harvard Genetics Professor David Sinclair

 I am neither vegan nor vegetarian though I eat meat very sparingly and generally only in the winter.  I also prefer to eat a good healthy well balanced breakfast, it gives me better energy for the day.  I try to frequently skip meals after breakfast.

If at all possible, be sure to keep grapes/raisins and spinach/kale in your diet.

Remember there is a huge difference between complex and refined carbs.  I eat bread, but whole wheat and oat bread. I keep it to no more than two pieces a day.

I also eliminate sugars as much as possible.

A Mediterranean or modified Mediterranean diet is a good diet option.

Avoid alcohol, eat raisins/grapes.  

Always consult your physician before doing vigorous exercise as he recommends.

And lastly... of course, while he MAY feel and look 20 years younger, he really isn't chronologically 20 years younger.

Fix Your Short Term Memory Loss – Hippocampus Repair – Dr.Berg

 I appreciate Dr. Berg and have respect for him; however, he paints carbohydrates with a broad brush.  There is a huge difference between complex and refined carbs.  We should all avoid refined carbs.  We need complex carbs to be healthy.





 

Dr. Berg talks about stress in this video.  If you click on Health & Diet above, you'll see additional resources that may help with stress.

In a nutshell:

Simplify as much as possible.

Live congruently with your values.

Develop self-efficacy.

Aerobic exercise (do not overdo)

Deep slow breathing with associated stretches (don't do on your own until you've been taught by someone who knows what they are doing).
