Ingredients
- Items needed:
- 1 packet of active dry yeast (for bread machine)
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (this helps the yeast to rise but does not add to the calories of the bread)

- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of white salt
- 1 tablespoon of splenda (low cal sugar)
- 1 cup of gluten free wheat flour
- 1/4 cup of oat flour
- 3/4 cup of soy flour
- 1/4 cup of flaxseed meal (this is gluten free and good for lowering insulin levels in the blood)
