I wish someone around me would sell home made bread so I don't to buy this crap from the store.
I share your appreciation of good homemade bread, it's just hard to find anywhere. Even artisan bakeries that spring up offering "ancient grain" bread that has basic ingredients -- wheat, milk, water, salt -- don't last very long, as most people prefer white bread and other such garbage.
I actually like wheat bread. There's a crunchiness that I like. I just don't want to make it.
You may have inadvertently put your finger on the root cause of all junk food. In addition to the foods themselves being junk, they also share an "ingredient" that is invisible... convenience.
In olden days people used to make their own bread from simple ingredients, they would farm their own land, milk their own cows, and sell any surplus to city dwellers, who also used those ingredients to make their own foods. At the turn of the last century,about 1900, all housewives engaged in such labor intensive activities, and a husband could support his family on his own earnings from whatever job he had, from farming to factory work to office work.
But modern folks (and I include myself in this) have become so used to the convenience of buying premade food that it's almost like a hidden addiction. No one wants to spend their entire days in their kitchens baking bread, grinding meat, cooking a lavish dinner (and breakfast and lunch) for the family, and doing all the multitude of activities that it once took to run an efficient and economic household.
In fact, there used to be a high school class for girls in my old school called "Home Economics." It taught young girls how to sew, cook, and handle a budget. And if one managed to attract and marry such a girl, she would be a life partner of great value.
And for the boys there was shop classes (basic carpentry and power machines) and agricultural studies. This was in east Tennessee where I grew up, many years ago.
Would kids today (or their parents, for that matter) ever be interested in revitalizing such studies? Or has our addiction to convenience ruined us all?
Actually, you do not need to slave in the kitchen just to create all that. You just need to know how to do it efficiently. Unfortunately, I am working too many hours now and so I have not been able to do this. You can make the most wonderful bread in about 2 hours using a bread machine. It will last a week or at least 5 days. You can cook the whole week dinners and freeze them in half an afternoon. I know I am a fast person but yes, you can.
I love cooking and baking. My teens best friend sarcastically stated my home is an "ingredient household" which is a compliment to those of trying to stay away from over processed foods. If I lived in a warmer state where I could actually get a good garden to grow i would have even more basic ingredients...but for now ..
Make your own. It's easy and quick once you get the hang of it. It doesn't have to be kneaded. Check out: Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day https://a.co/d/0LZd1VU
It's not difficult to make yourself. All you need is bread flour, instant yeast, salt, sugar, water. It's just a waiting game waiting for the dough to rise, once in the bowl, and once in the tin before baking. I'm 64. Been making bread since I was 15.
Oh. Now I know why I don't make bread. I am a damn impatient.
😃 All good things come to those who wait. We've waited for 4 years for change, 2 hours out of a day is but a drop in the ocean by comparison.
LOL. Yes, yes.
This is a great time (after Christmas, people spending their gift money) to check thrift stores for gadgets. Things like bread makers that people received or bought themselves and decided it wasn't for them, or their old models because they leveled up.
We bought an Oster bread maker more than ten years ago from a thrift store for $5. It's still running. Invested in the Bread Machine Bible, very worthwhile. Source your flour carefully and you're set up for the best bread you've ever had, minimal fuss.
Oh. You actually buy electronic from Thrift Store. You are brave. I never have.
Bread is very easy to make. Just go to youtube and you will find how to make it. The secret is using the right flour.
Ok I will go look.
The problem is the wheat we get in the US. I know someone who is completely gluten intolerant, yet can eat a little homemade bread in some parts of Europe with no issues.
There is scuttlebutt that what people are really allergic to is the pesticide they use on wheat. Glyphosate
I have heard that Italian wheat has preserved the ancient strain and they don't allow use of roundup there. Celiac folks can actually eat the bread and pasta made with such wheat and not get sick.
It is a different strain of wheat that matters for the person I know, but the pesticides don't help any
I know about the wheat problem. You can use ancient grains.
