One thing that I’m sure most people are baking more during lockdown has to be bread! I mean I made this amazing Slimming World Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe and everyone went crazy for it! I will say it’s probably because it tastes amazing that’s why!
Slimming world bread recipes are a bit hard to find, they are full of syns and that’s never a good thing, which is why when I made this bread I didn’t really focus on how many syns were in it and I just wanted to make a good ale bread recipe.
I also got a little worried that it would just taste like ale and I wouldn’t like it. I don’t drink much so I’m not a fan of when recipes have a lot of alcohol in them, however, this beer bread recipe doesn’t taste like strong beer so it’s all good!
Slimming World Ale Bread Recipe
As I said before I didn’t set out to make a slimming world ale bread but when I make a recipe I like to make sure it’s as healthy as it can be! The slimming world journey isn’t always easy and that’s why I like to make sure everything I eat isn’t going to set me back.
If you’re wondering how many syns in this slimming world ale bread, it’s not as much as you’d think. The whole loaf is 48 syns in total and per portion is only 14 syns! It’s a low syn bread recipe that everyone can enjoy and eat.
If you’re looking for something a little more naughty I would probably take a look at this Slimming World Diet Coke Chocolate Cake Recipe, it might have a few syns packed into it but it tastes so good you’d be a fool not to try it!
Slimming World Bread Recipe
If you’re looking for something quick and easy to make for a dinner party to go with a starter, well this is a great slimming world starter recipe! I will say it’s also very cheap to make, cheap meals are great these days and everyone is looking to save a little money.
Cheap healthy meals can be hard to find these days. We all know the issues that an apple cost more than a mars bar and it’s a shame. I can pick up a pack of 4 mars bars for £1 and yet a bag of apples will set me back £1.28, how is that fair or healthy?
If you want cheap meals ideas I’d say take a look at this slimming world turkey cottage pie recipe, it will cost you under £5 to make! I can guarantee that if you ordered a cottage pie in a restaurant you’re going to be paying more than that and then you have to buy drinks as well!
I love low budget meals. I love going to Aldi with a budget, seeing what I can buy and what amazing cheap recipes I can make with what I can buy. Living with a budget isn’t a bad thing, you’re looking after your money and making sure you eat well and that’s something I’m proud of!
Ale Bread Recipe Card
So here you have the recipe card. It’s got a full breakdown of how much the bread is going to cost you to make and how much per portion it is. It also has all the nutritional value so you can know exactly what you’re eating and that’s a good thing.
I will say that you should probably buy a decent loaf tin, I’ve had mine for about 4 years now and won’t need to upgrade for at least another 2 years unless I drop it. I use mine for all sorts of baking and couldn’t live without it!
You can see from the pictures that I used Fallen Brew Co Odyssey Ale, as I had some leftover from Christmas. It tastes amazing although any ale or beer will work just as fine, after all this is a generic beer bread recipe and not a sales pitch!
If you’re making a loaf with beer or ale, make sure you buy a quality beer or ale, as it will make all the difference to the bread, you and whoever eats it, will appreciate it.
Also, don’t forget to let me know if you use any slimming world bread alternatives, I use peppers sometimes but that’s mainly for lunch recipes. Don’t forget to check out my other slimming world recipes for more inspiration!
