Alright...I thought i'd share some of my mad creations with you guys.
Heres what I made today:
Spinach and Onion curry bread.
Ingredients
Wheat Flour (200 gram)
Oat Flour (200 gram)
Malt Flour (100 gram)
Sesame seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Linseeds, Poppy Seeds (Up to 30-40 grams)
200 grams of Spinach.
One large Onion.
1 pack bakers yeast (should be like 10 grams or something I think)
Cinnamon powder, Garlic powder, Chilli Powder, Salt, Turmeric, Ginger powder (you can get these combined in curry powders - I had them lying around the apartment so I threw them in according to what I wanted - Cinnamon, Garlic, Chilli Powder, Turmeric all have definite benefits for athletes though).
300 ml of water
15 ml of Olive Oil (or another healthy vegetable oil)
BAKING TIME!
1. Throw the flours, seeds and yeast in a bowl.
2. Add the water and then oil and mix it up as much as you can.
3. Add the spices - I'd go with a tablespoon of cinnamon (decreases the insulin spike from the carbs and has anti-diabetic effects), a teaspoon of garlic powder (tastes good - has antioxidants), a teaspoon of Salt (taste), a tablespoon of Turmeric (aids in fat metabolism, speeds up healing), as much Chilli Powder as you like (increases fat oxidation).
4. Chop and fry the onions in a pan..use a little olive oil if you like.
5. Throw washed spinach on top of onions and fry.
6. Dump juices and spinach and onions into bread mix.
7. Stir and leave to sit somewhere warm/@ room temo for an hour.
8. Put in the oven at 220 celsius for an 30 mins

A bunch of healthy spices to boost your metabolism, help recovery and protect against diseases.
A 50g slice of this with 100g of meat, some vegetables and maybe a small slice of cheese (or some other fat source) is pretty much a perfect meal! It tastes damn good and if you are on a budget buying the ingredients and baking a batch of bread each week is gonna save you alot of money over a month...plus it tastes better.
