Homemade Bread
Yeah, I bake our own bread, from freshly-ground wheat berries. Why? We LOVE it. I started doing this, however, because of the nutritional value in homemade wheat bread. In researching this art (friends, internet), I discovered that to really glean the value out of the wheat bread, you need to use freshly-ground. The stuff on the store shelves is already “rancid,” so to speak. Not harmful, but not beneficial.
I found a terrific recipe, and I make three good-size loaves at a time, using my Bosch Universal mixer, and grinding my wheat with my KitchenAid attachment. How simple!
Now, I wouldn’t consider us a “crunchy” family, but there are a few things that we do to “get back to the basics.” Another thing I just got into with Phoebe (in the last six or so months) is cloth diapering. But, that subject is for another time!
