Olive & Rosemary Flat Bread 1
Stephen Ceideburg
1/2 cup Brown rice flour (see note)
1 1/2 tsp Granular yeast
2 tsp Sugar
1 1/4 cup Warm water (110 degrees F.)
4 large Egg whites, at room
-temperature
1 tbsp Olive oil
12 Oil-cured black olives,
-pitted and roughly chopped
4 tsp Dried rosemary, or to taste
1 Egg yolk mixed with 1/2
-teaspoon water
1 large Garlic clove, peeled, cut in
-3 pieces
1/2 cup Corn flour (see note)
1/2 cup Cornstarch
2 tsp Xanthan gum powder
1 To 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Stir together 1/2 cup of the rice flour, the yeast, sugar and 1/2 cup
of the warm water in a 2-cup glass measure. Let rest in a warm place
until doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and draw two 8 inch
circles on it (use a cake pan as a guide).
Beat egg whites lightly, add olive oil, chopped olives and 2
teaspoons of the rosemary; set aside.
Combine garlic and egg yolk; set aside. (Garlic will perfume the
glaze but won't burn in the oven, as chopped garlic would.)
Combine remaining 1 cup rice flour, the corn flour, corn- starch,
xanthan gum powder and salt in bowl.
Add remaining 3/4 cup warm water to egg white-olive mixture a stir
into flour. Stir in yeast mixture and beat until smooth.
Using a rubber spatula, spread soft dough into 8-inch circles marked
on the parchment paper heaping it up slightly in the middle. Cover
loaves with lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled
in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Discard garlic and brush egg glaze over loaves. Sprinkle tops with
remaining 2 teaspoons rosemary. Using a razor blade, slash tops of
loaves into a large diamond grid pattern. (Use an up-and-down cutting
motion rather than dragging the blade through the soft dough.)
Bake for 20 minutes, until well browned.
Makes two 8-inch diameter, 11-ounce loaves.
Note: Brown rice flour and corn flour may be found in some health food
stores and Rainbow Groceries.

Advice on losing weight
If you enjoy eating, but want to regain your youthful figure and increase your overall vitality, then, as any doctor will tell you, you should make plans to undertake a specially calculated wholesome meal plan. If possible, this should involve 5 measures of fruit and vegetables daily and incorporate the correct combination of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
Dieters most certainly pick out retail store and well known food products sold as 'low in fat'. This is most certainly a mistake, insofar as an item might be very low in fat, but still elavated in calories and carbs.
When devising a dietary regime, you have to also make efforts to lower your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
