    How to increase fiber in your bread ?

    There are a number of ways that can help increase the fiber content in buns or bread.

    1.Use fiber rich flour such as whole-wheat flour/atta. In this case you may need to increase the quantity of yeast by 20% and use a bit more water/oil as this flour is a bit heaver than plain flour.

    2. Add additional additives such as flax seed meal . 1 cup of plain flour contains around 3.4 gms of fiber compared to 11 gms in 1 cup of whole meal flour. 1 tbsp. of flax seeds contains around 2 gms of fiber. So an addition of 3 tbsp. of flax seeds to plain flour can help you get similar fiber content as whole meal flour.

    3.Use a combination of above 2 as done in the below recipe.

    Ingredients

    • flour (unbleached plain flour )
    • flax seeds with water (optional)
    • yeast in warm water +½ tsp. sugar
    • water to knead the dough
    • salt
    • garlic powder
    • Seasoning mix (fresh garlic chives,dried herbs,garlic powder,salt,oil)

    • Brush the remaining oil and herb mix on the knots. Serve warm.

    Variations

    • You can make variations of this bread with addition of any vegetables or just olives. If you are a vegetarian, you can use butter instead of olive oil.
    • Another easy way I found was without making knot.Here it is below. Make a braid of the kneaded flour

    Close the braid in a round loop as shown below.

    Once done, follow the steps as in the recipe to cook them in oven/air fryer.

    Storage

    • Store it in an air tight container in refrigerator.

    Top tips

    • Always preheat your oven or air fryer.
    • Always reheat your leftovers.
    • If water is too hot or cold, yeast will not activate and double. Also, when yeast is too old it will not work. If it doesn't activate, adding it dough will not help your bread. Make a fresh batch if that happens.

    Notes

    To make sure that the buns are super soft, the dough needs to be sticky and a little wet.
    You may replace wholewheat flour with plain flour for plain buns recipe
    , in that case,use 3 cups of plain flour instead of 2.5 cups of wholewheat flour.
    The flax seeds are optional, they just help to increase the nutritional value of the bread.
     

    FAQs

    What happens if you over knead dough?

    It looks tight and tough so it will not stretch after baking.

    How Do You Know When dough is ready?

    Firstly, it should spring back when pressed.

    Can I make air fryer garlic knots with pizza dough ?

    Yes, you can use the same dough used for the pizza to make this, just add garlic powder and salt (if not there in the dough) to make these.
