I ground my own flour, used coconut oil and honey, and finally put my second hand Bosch to work (obviously I do not buy in to the Gluten is Evil philosophy, unless you are allergic to it of course). None of my kids have any sensitivity to gluten so bread is a valuable staple being underused at our house. To increase the nutritional value of their bread intake I proudly did a first. I do not remember ever making homemade bread in my 22 happily married years.
It was GOOD. Too good unfortunately. In less than 12 hours I have consumed, all by myself, at least half (possibly more) of one very large loaf, complete with butter and honey. Considering bread hasn't played a role much in my diet for the last several years (I am not a growing teenage boy, and am still carrying the same 10 pounds I have been trying to shed for those bread-less years) , not to mention butter, this addition of irresistible bread is not a good thing. It's like a primal instinct to eat that bread. It's like a childhood memory.
But if I can't gain any control, the bread goal will be revoked. Wish me luck.
If I could just think like James, it would be so much easier.
"Homemade whole wheat bread? Sounds disgusting."
