Suger question?
 

I'm new to the site and have been reading it for days. I hope this is the right forum for my question. There are so many. :help:

When baking bread are we all sure the sugar doesn't count because it is eaten by the yeast? :cool:

I would hate to find something I like and then have to give it up again like the Atkins Bars. :yum:

I am not an expert, but did want to bump this post so someone else who knows more can see it! I have heard that the yeast eats the sugar as well! The traces of sugar as mim so I don't see the traces that might survive being an issue. But, then I have the reputation for no sugar period! I don't think it will hurt you! But those Atkins bars...no. I have heard of too many folks stalling on those!

If you're talking about a minimal amount, yes. If 1/4 cup, no.

You don't need to use sugar in bread at all. Just dissolve the yeast in water. It gets fed plenty by whatever starch is in the bread.

I think the bread recipe I use only takes like one tablespoon of sugar so I don't have to worry about that one! Thanks Karen!

Ok! That is great! I almost never cooked until this diet. I know nothing about it. Saturday I bought a bread making machine because the low carb bread here costs so much. I've been trying new recipies with out any luck. lol Mostly I think because I can't find any gluten. I'm going to keep trying.

Thanks so much
