i would suspect so. probably would just have to kind of 'watch' and see.

instant yeast works without warm water (actually the water temp usually used will kill it.) you use 25% less than dry active and it's way cheaper at Sams or Costco.

PC...i must mess with the low carb. it's my mission.

Looks like I need to find some instant yeast this weekend! Thanks for posting this, sounds great.

I agree, Rhandi's rendition of this bread is perfect!

If anyone is interested in the original recipe, which calls for quite a bit of honey and regular yeast, here are the ingredients...

Rhandi and I both felt like it was too expensive and unnecessary to use so much honey, so we either cut out the second 1/3 cup, or just use the 1/3 c. sugar with the yeast. (I save the more expensive recipe for special occasions...!) this should also make a great sweet roll dough...

Simple Whole Wheat Bread
By Nita Crabb

INGREDIENTS

* 3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
* 1/3 cup honey
* 5 cups bread flour
* 3 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1/3 cup honey
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Cathy is correct. It did seem frivolous with so much honey as well as many extra calories. It already has more than enough sugar to feed the yeast with half.

I am going to do cinnamon rolls with it and see how we like them.

at Sam's Club it is only a few bucks for 2 lbs. i think. super cheap. remember to cut the amount by 25% no matter what you are using it in, unless already converted or written as instant yeast.

hope you enjoy it! it's no nonsense, easy breezy, lemon squeezy.

PC, if you're low carbing please make sure that you're drinking LOTS and LOTS of water. You might even want to throw in a big glass of fresh lemonade (made with real lemon juice, not Country Time!

) each day too. My urologist called low carb diets the "kidney stone diets." 5 years after doing Atkins I had to have surgery for a very big kidney stone.

Miss_Jayne, that bread and those rolls!
