Tired,
depressed,
Rundown?
DO YOU HAVE A
COLD OR THE FLU…
AND IT’S NOT EVEN
WINTER YET?
Easy
Empower yourself and
be proactive with your
immunity, fitness and
nutrition this season.
Why wait until you
or your family are ill
or out of shape?
HOMEMEADE BREAD
Toast it, top it, stuff it, dunk it, mop up with it, wrap things in it.
So versatile and so varied in form, from sourdough, to flat bread,
to beautiful artisan loaves and a myriad of others in between.
It can be the basis of a healthy, energising snack or part of a
complete meal on the go, to empower and nourish your body.
Here's a very reliable and easy recipe, shared with me a year or so ago by Sally Smith, who lives up
the beautiful Awatere Valley. No easy pop to the shop for her if she runs out. This can be made in the
breadmaker or mixed and kneaded by hand. It's a big loaf though, so I use the breadmaker to mix and
rise the dough, then transfer to a bread tin, leave for 20 minutes or so in a warm place to rise again,
and then bake in the oven.
INGREDIENTS: METHOD:
350ml warm water Place all ingredients into breadmaker.
3tsp brown sugar Set breadmaker to dough cycle.
1 tbsp milk powder On completion, tip onto floured bench (it's quite
a wet, sticky dough at this stage). Shape into a
smooth oval loaf and transfer to a bread tin (like a
loaf tin only larger).
250g wholegrain breadmix (Edmonds)
250g white flour (my tweak is to use
half spelt and half ryemeal flour here)
3 tsp Surebake yeast
Place in a warm spot covered with a clean tea
towel to rise again, then place into an oven
preheated to 190°.
It takes about 20 minutes to bake to a beautiful
brown crusty loaf, with a lovely texture that stays
fresh for 2-3 days (if it lasts that long!).
TIP:
I can design a personalised
wellness package that will
support your immune system
and mood over the cooler
months, this can include
practitioner only supplements,
dietary advice, exercise
and relaxing rituals.
Try the food allergy testing to support
the gut and immune system to prepare
yourself for the spring hayfever season
(this needs to be addressed at least
3 months prior to spring).
PREVENTION IS
BETTER THAN CU RE
A good immune system is not only
constantly fighting off potential invaders
(bacteria, viruses etc), it also identifies
and neutralises rogue cells that
aren’t developing properly, such
as cancerous cells.
Natural medicine gives us tools
to improve our immunity!
Call today to ensure you
and your family have a healthy
and energised winter.
