Dry Flour to Dough Information

500 g dry whole wheat flour equals 850 grams of dough once the water, yeast (1 tbsp), honey (1 tbsp) and olive oil (5 tbsp) has been added.

One Loaf of Whole Wheat Bread

One particular loaf of bread had 3,211 Calories and 122 grams of protein from 939 g of whole wheat flour.

There were also 207 Calories and 19 grams of protein from 220 grams of 5% Greek Yogurt that was in the recipe.

Therefore the total number of calories for this loaf of bread would be 3,418 Calories and 141 Grams of Protein in total.

This loaf of bread yielded 16 slices therefore making each slice of bread worth 213.5 Calories and 8.8 Grams of Protein.


Lentils Information

1 Cup of dry lentils (204 g) yields 476 g of cooked lentils

2 Cups of dry lentils (375 g) yields g of cooked lentils


Soybeans Information

2 Cups of dry soybeans weighed 335 grams prior to soaking.

After cooking, those same soybeans weighed 827 grams. I did not check the volume.

The information below needs to be updated by weighing the yielded 3 cups of cooked soybeans since weight will be more accurate than volume. Will update after the next batch of cooked soybeans is prepared.

This information is for Azure Soybeans. 1 Cup of Uncooked Soybeans yields 3 cups of cooked soybeans. Since 1 cup of uncooked soybeans is 830 calories and 68 g of protein, a 3/4 cup of cooked soybeans equals 207.5 calories and 17 g of protein. These numbers are found by dividing 3 cups by 4. Since 1 cup of raw yields 3 cups cooked, we divide 3 by 4. This gives us .75 for the size of cup (3/4 cup) for uncooked to cooked. 830 calories raw is divided by 4 which gives us 207.5 for our cooked calories. Therefore 3/4 cup of cooked is 207.5 calories. 1 cup of uncooked is 68 g of protein, therefore we divide 68 g of protein raw by 4 and that gives us 17 g. So, a 3/4 cup of cooked Azure soybeans gives us 207.5 calories with 17 g of protein.
