Anyone have any good and healthy bread recipes? I don't have a bread maker but I've always wanted to try making my own because it just seems so much more healthier than buying the sugar laced high fructose corn syrup laced bread from the store
I went to Whole Foods yesterday and bought a loaf of the Rustic Italian. So far it looks good, but I haven't tried it yet. You want to know how to tell if it's good bread? If Zelda starts trying to get into it! She always knows when it's good bread because as soon as I bring it home she'll get on the counter and starts chewing open the plastic to eat the bread. Luckily I caught her in the act when she was just chewing on the plastic and I hid it so she can't get to it. I've noticed she has a liking to good sourdough bread as well LOL. But only if it's good bread. If I buy cheaper loaves of bread she wants nothing to do with it. It's her gift, I guess.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
But but but... you live in Austin! You can go to Whole Foods and get their Rustic Italian! Pre-sliced for sandwiches, and it also makes the best toast ever.
I haven't made bread from scratch in ages, but my favorite thing to do is replace most of the water in a simple white bread recipe with chianti and add some chopped walnuts. Sounds bizarre, I know, but it's great -- especially if you toast it lightly and make a Swiss-cheese-and-lettuce sandwich with it! (Not my own idea, though... I stole it from a wonderful bakery in Grapevine [Texas] called Breadhaus.)
