Bread - The Staff of Life! We adore breads. It was many years ago we fell across a wonderful bread book and started baking. To this day we, as North Americans, enjoy some European style breads but more and more we enjoy home made breads ... and the more we bake the easier it gets. Now, when we run out of bread we just make another ... or, in a pinch, we'll make up some pitas - freezing any extra to use for instant pizzas. While the entire process for baking bread takes about three (3) hours, most of that time is given to rising and baking. The actual work is only about 3/4 hour including clean-up time. It does take a little longer at first but it's pretty quick once you've had some practice ... and there's nothing like a freshly baked bread. The other reason we do so much of our own baking is the ingredient choices. We choose to use organic flours, carefully selected oils such as sunflower or olive oil - depending upon the recipe ... and the addition of high value grains such as flax, sesame, oatmeal and other grains which may be high in essential oils, fiber, vitamins and other desirable dietry supplements. If you struggle a little in the beginning, don't become disheartened. It will get easier! |
