Our homemade, slimming friendly Fougasse Bread is a wonderful treat for anyone calorie counting or following plans like Weight Watchers!

This French loaf is filled with fresh herbs and topped with sea salt which makes it perfect for enjoying with a hearty soup or instead of garlic bread with a bowl of pasta.

This isn’t a bread for making sarnies, it’s more of an artisan bread for enjoying as part of a meal and is best served warm!

How many calories are in this Fougasse Bread?

There are 340 calories per portion in this Fougasse Bread, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category.

This Fougasse Bread is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet, and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.

Step 1

In a mixer with a dough hook, add the bread mix with about half of the luke warm water. Mix until it forms a ball. Gradually add in the rest of the water and herbs and mix for around 8 minutes until the dough is stretchy.

Step 2

Spray a tupperware container with low calorie cooking spray. Tip the dough into the container, scooping out the whole mixing bowl with a silicone spatula. Spray some cling film with low calorie cooking spray and cover the dough.

Step 3

Leave to rise in a warm place for around 90 minutes until the dough has at least doubled in size.

Step 4

On a work surface, lay down a large piece of cling film and spray with low calorie cooking spray. Empty out the dough carefully and cut into 4 pieces.

Step 5

Make each quarter into a rough oval shape and place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

Step 6

Cut two lines into the middle of the dough, and 4-6 lines (however many you can fit) from the centre outwards. As this dough is quite wet, you may need to spread the holes out so they don’t close up again completely.

Step 7

Leave to prove for a further 20 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees.

Step 8

Bake the Fougasse for 20 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped. When out of the oven, spray with low calorie cooking spray and sprinkle with the sea salt flakes.

This artisan Fougasse Bread should be eaten with a main meal. We think that these recipes work really well with it:

How do you know when Fougasse Bread is cooked?

Bake your Fougasse Bread for 20 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.

Can I freeze Fougasse Bread?

Yes you can! Bread freezes really well and you’ll almost certainly have leftovers from this recipe! Please remember to do the following;

• Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
• Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.

Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!

How do I reheat Fougasse Bread?

You can ‘freshen’ up any leftover bread by popping it into the oven for 5-6 minutes.
