Need to analyze a recipe?
by Rosemary ~ March 26th, 2008Did you know it’s easy to keep tabs on the calories, carbs, protein, and fat content in any recipe you have? I found a great online tool that analyzes any recipe; you just type in the amount of each ingredient and number of servings, and voila! You’ll find the free analyzer here. I used it on this recipe and tried to copy and paste the results onto this post, but couldn’t get it to work well. It’s easy to use though, so give it a try. Here’s the recipe anyway:
Easy Wheat Bread
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 pkgs. yeast
2 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
3 to 4 cups unbleached flour
Combine 2 cups whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in mixer bowl. Heat milk and oil until 120-130 degrees. Pour over flour mixture and add 1 egg. Beat 1/2 minute on low speed, then 3 minutes on medium speed. By hand, gradually add 1 cup whole wheat flour and 3-4 cups unbleached flour to form soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 1 minute. Place in oiled bowl. Cover with towel and let rise 45-60 minutes. Shape into 2 loaves; place in 9×5 inch loaf pans. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake @ 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Cool on rack.
**Update: Kim came to my rescue and told me how to post the analyzed recipe! Thanks, Kim. Results are based on 12 servings per loaf of bread.

Wow! I’ve dreamed of such an animal! I’m bookmarking that website right now!
(I’ve been experimenting with crepes and that’s been my downfall lately. . .)

Back again, Rosemary.
I analysed my most recent posted recipe: Creamy Spicy Sausage Crepes–just the crepe and then the filling.
It actually gave the recipe a grade! (I ought to be ashamed. . .)
