Cookin up some bread!!!

There has been a BUNCH of bread baking going on around here...

My boys are still growing... and they need their carbs... and good ones... so  my bread is just about the only bread they eat... and I fill it with Flax Seed Meal, Wheat germ, nuts, dried fruits... anything and everything to make it more wholesome and yummy.

I've been on a breadstick kick lately...


And a Sweet Hawaiian bread Kick...
Can I just say... that Sweet Hawaiian bread... homemade... should be OUTLAWED!!!
It's WAAAAAAY TO GOOD...

It's awesome as a grilled cheese sandwich... or as a pannini...
it's DIVINE with Nutella spread on it...

It's a long, painful process to make... with all the rising and kneading, (which I never do with my other bread) but soooo worth it...
I want to give it away to others to try... but it too precious at the moment... my family would revolt...

I don't eat the stuff... but I do taste it... and oh my... I'm so glad I'm off bread... because if I wasn't...
my 80 lost pounds would be back in minutes!!!!

Thanks for visiting...

I know... I know... I haven't posted on here in ... well... forever...

But still... the archives aren't too bad...

I don't EAT the bread I bake anymore... but my family and customers do...

Baking your OWN bread is THE BEST way to ensure that you are eating wholesome ingredients...no fillers, preservatives, sugars or fats...

Good bread contains 4 basic ingredients...

Leavening, flour, water and salt.

I will start posting about my fun with not using any yeast in my breads anymore... I have made my own starter and don't use any leavening except for my sourdough starter now... and the results are fantastic!!!

So... check out the archives... give a holler if you have a question... and if you are watching your carbs or trying to lose weight... remember to eat bread only once per day... and make it homemade if you can...

Mangia Bene!
