I have been thinking of getting a bread machine, but not sure I have the energy to go to the health food store for all the ingredients when I have to go to the grocery store and buy a truckload of food besides for the hubby.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 1999 Report Share Posted March 17, 1999 Marcia Hello again. I buy alot from health food stores,but some products sold there are not always healthy. If I look carefully,I can find products I can tolerate at the regular grocery store,too. I have to really read labels. I found out through alot of trial and error what made me so sick... e.g. I thought for years I was allergic to yeast in breads,but it was the bleached flour and possibly other chemicals in the store breads. Unbleached flour is cheap and I get mine at a grocery store. It is not organic though...it says it is free of preservatives. I do fine eating it. I was so happy! Get a bread machine.It comes with a recipe book and directions.A cheap plain one does fine.I even make pizza dough and rolls,and I use fructose (free of chemicals or bleaching etc)...for great cinnamon raisin bread too...I can't tolerate cheese,but I try other things on the pizza.. Good luck, oobadooba@... [CFSFMSexperimental] Re: Making Bread >From: Marcia Grahn <mgrahn@...> > > > >Doris Beers wrote: > >> From: Doris Beers <dj_beers@...> >> >> Aren't bread machines wonderful?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 1999 Report Share Posted March 18, 1999 I can get everything at the grocery store, but I trust my local health food store more. We have a system (my husband is the PWC). Every two months we hit four stores - three regular groceries and a health food place. We get everything that is on sale and that we have coupons for. Even if we get four of something we think we'll only use 2 of. That way, we always have a full pantry and don't have to buy stuff full cost. The shops are an effort, but only happen every 2-3 months. The organic yeast from the health food store seems to last about 5 times longer than standard yeast and is more active. I usually combine whole wheat flour with gluten to up the protein and make it chewy. If I add fruit and nuts, I can carry it for a meal on the run. So far we can all tolerate the gluten, which is fortunate. I think the yeasts prefer sugar, but I can't see using something that chemically processed when I can get fresh honey from the farmer's market. The bee keepers insist that honey from flowers can ease pollen allergies, which makes a little sense. The farmer's market on Saturday mornings is my treat to myself. And the products are wonderful. I feel so much better making my PWC eat lots of greens when I know they are organic and know the person who grows them. If you can afford it, some of the jazzier machines will also boil preserves. I have had mine for 4 yrs now. I asked for it for Xmas and it has been a pleasure since. I even use it to make dough that I form into buns for soy and salmon burgers.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have a nice electric grain mill. I've noticed that I don't really need to knead the bread. I grind the hard red wheat, stir the ingredients - sour dough culture, salt, sugar, flour, water. Let sit for 30 min for the water to soak in, then knead maybe 10 times and the gluten is about as developed as it gets. Anybody else notice this? The bread comes out kind of dense and chewey, but we like it this way, as without the chemicals, it tends to get dry and crumbly after a few days if you try for too light of a texture.
