Which bread do you buy?

When food labels became required, it stands to reason that there would be compromises. Food manufacturers (of course) didn't want any obstacles to profit, so they bargained with the FDA & were allowed a certain amount of deception - likely including payola & other perks to the FDA. Telling the complete truth on those labels would result in a big reduction in sales; health-conscious people would buy less & less of the product.
That's also behind the claims on some processed food packaging to make consumers think it's a "Health Food."
"Cheerios prevents heart disease & reduces cholesterol." (It says so on the box). LOL - that TV ad that shows a father on a treadmill, while talking to his infant daughter about how Cheerios is protecting his heart.

One thing I still try and do where and when I can... buy products that have the least amount of ingredients in them. It's my way of feeling like I am more in control, able to subtract and banish a lot of the opaqueness that's present in so much that we consume today.
 

I bake rye bread for my husband. In Oregon he couldn't find the kind he liked from when he was a kid in NY. So I found a recipe and kept altering it until it was just the way he likes it. We buy cheap white bread for the wild critters.

Ah. This is pretty much what we have (but it makes taller two-pound loaves, while ours makes one-pound loaves). And ours is cream-colored on the top rather than black.

It has a bread pan inside, where you put the ingredients (I believe all dry), close it up and turn it on. It mixes, kneads, lets it rise, and then bakes it. There's a stopping point where you can add ingredients (nuts? raisins?). It also has delayed settings, so you can program it to start in the middle of the night for a freshly-baked loaf in the morning.

My husband says it will make sourdough. To be honest, once I bought it and showed it to my husband, he took over all bread-making duties. :cool:

You normally have to add water otherwise you have powder. I used to make pizza dough in mie until I found I could buy it at my market. No fuss no mess .
 
Udi's gluten free multigrain. It's a frozen bread usually located in the heath food section. Like most gluten free sliced breads, it softens quickly causing the sandwich to fall apart. Taste is wonderful though.

I also use Schar ciabatta gf rolls for sandwiches, but my favorite way to eat them is warm and dipped in olive oil with fresh cracked pepper.
