Bread

[miller2917]

What brand of bread do you eat. Is there a soft, tasty bread that isn't bad for you?

Pepperidge Farm Lite Wheat.

I eat rye bread as I can't eat wheat - not everyone's 'cup of tea' but I like it and it's good for you.

I eat "Food For Life" Sprouted Grain bread or hamburger buns. It's 100% sprouts (no flour). I soften it up a bit by putting it in the microwave for 12-15 seconds.

As for a soft, tasty bread that's good for you, I persoanally have nevver found one that meets all these criteria. Whole grain bread is never as soft as Wonder Bread type bread, unless some things are added to it to make it that way.

I like my bread to only have ingredients in that I recognize and would use myself.

Speaking of soft bread: when I was in grade school, my Girl Scout troup took a tour of Master Bread bakery in Minneapolis, and we each got a fresh loaf of bread. We spent the ride back taking the slices and mashing them into balls and throwing them at each other. I can't even eat that kind of bread now: it seems so pasty and doughy, and feels like a glob of dough in my stomach. Last time I tried, I almost got sick.

Homemade bread from a bread machine (or made the old-fashioned way, which gives you an arm workout!), can be somewhat soft and still have pretty good ingredients.

I like "BIG" yeast rolls.....I have not had one in over a year, but this thread talking about bread sure makes me want one! LOL........I usually eat light wheat pepperidge farm, it is really good. Do you have a bread machine? I know a friend of mine gets some type of mix that is diet, and it makes really good bread too. Good luck!

I make it in my bread maker. 100% whole wheat and it's soft, tasty AND good for you. It makes the second best PB&J sandwiches. (the best are on Kashi Whole Grain waffles.)

I prefer bread from my bread machine but I have not made any in a long time. I have a whole wheat recipe I like. I've been using Pita bread for sandwiches.

Kathryn...I remember that nasty gooey bread....I hated how it ALWAYS got all stuck in your teeth. Seems to me I used to ball it up too...not sure who I threw it at.... }( ...Carole

Okay, this is going to sound really dumb, but I can't remember the brand name of the bread I buy. LOL! It comes in a brown paper bag with a clear window on top (and the loaf is wrapped in plastic inside the paper bag). It's called Baker's something (I know, real helpful), and I get it at Walmart Supercenter. I like the Honey Whole Wheat, and the 7-Grain. They also have Stone Ground Whole Wheat, but I haven't tried it yet. These breads make an awesome sandwich. I've tried some of those "light" wheat breads, but they just don't feel substantial enough to me and they seem to lack the texture of regular whole grain breads. I also like making bread in my bread machine... it's just a matter of getting my butt into the kitchen and doing it. LOL!

Hey all you people who make bread machine breads - care to share your recipes?

I buy Sara Lee 100% Whole Wheat. It is only 45 calories per slice and is nice and soft when you eat it.

Hi Emily! I tried this too and I believe its called "Baker's Inn". I got a free loaf of the whole wheat kind at the bread store last week and it was really good! Sandy
