being a person of asian ethnicity, makes me glad that in the asian diet, the main carb is rice. i do not get any detectable negative digestion and/or auto-immune issues from rice. i've concluded that when i eat white bread, it's due to the gluten, which appears to be a problem for a lot of people and the negative symptoms appear to get worse with age. i do like bread, but as much as possible, will only eat rye sourdough which means that most of the gluten has been broken down due to the fermentation process. artisan, rustic breads are my favourite in terms of taste and a must with italian deli fillings. but since rice is asian people's carb staple, i'm thankful. dairy doesn't seem to agree with me either, which again, is more of a western thing than asian.
@@lowkeyconvert8971 I love rice but I've had to give it up since its carbohydrate content is double that of most bread. What part of Asia (a massive continent) do you hail from? In Europe, people from the Indian sub-continent are (curiously) called 'Asians'. In the USA people from the far-east are routinely called 'Asians'. People from Jordan, Yemen, Azerbaijan, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, Borneo, Israel, (most of) Russia, (most of )Turkey, Cyprus, Iran, Mongolia and a good number of other countries in that continent are also 'Asians'. I doubt that many of those Asians have rice as their main carb.
@@alangeorgebarstow hehe, i live in a western country but my ethnicity would be classed as far east asian. i get your point that geographers lump the middle-east and india in with asia as well. Those cultures eat a mix of rice and bread and i think east asia differs in that they have only more recently been exposed to western cultures and therefore eating more western foods including bread. the only exceptions as far as "oriental" asians are concerned might be mongolians and siberians which have/had strong russian influence so their diets are heavily dairy, meat and bread-based. I wonder whether siberians even eat rice.

I got very serious about bread 20 years ago. I bought a mill and now buy several varieties of wheat. I mill what I need for my loaves as I make them. No flour sits waiting for the next bake time. And I believe this bread is incredibly healthy and tastes delicious! I now have two mills…an electric and a manual mill. Nothing weird added to my breads and people are always thrilled when I show up with a loaf to share with dinner!
I go to the Polish Shop and buy their sour dough. They have several brands. The most expensive comes in a plain clear plastic bag with a cheap sticker telling you the ingredients. This bread has absolutely nothing added beyond what is required to make sourdough.

Keep it all at a bare minimum, whether it's supermarket or artisan bread. Trust me, I grew up on home-baked sourdough bread my mom and grandma made in an outside brick oven. I was chubby and bellied all my childhood. I only fixed it in adulthood when I drastically reduced its consumption.

Yeah if the bread has 4 or 5 ingredients, namely water, yeast, flour, salt and maybe some seeds, definitely not seed oils, which seem to be in absolutely everything these days! People think ive become posh because Ive started buying fresh sourdough and ciabatta from my local deli, which lists the ingredients on the brown bag it comes in, and there are only 5.

Freezing bread changes the structure to resilient starches, which is harder to digest. Similar to whole meal. Less bloating,as long as you don’t eat too much.

During lockdown I couldn’t get bread so instead of having bread I turned to yogurts for lunch and cereal for breakfast. I never got ill. After lockdown I went back to adding bread to my died. Last year I felt absolutely awful. From March this year I radically reduced bread products and I feel so much better.
I grew up on a farm in the 70’s. We mostly made our own bread because the closest store was 40 miles away. All of us 8 kids eat bread at every meal. The bread was limited ingredients and store bought bread was like a donut to us. We were all thin and fit however I think it had more to do with working physically hard every day then with what we eat. 😊
It was definitely a function of what you ate. That's how you had the energy to work everyday. It's a loop. If one eats well, one has energy to do the work and the other things that one needs to do. And that's why everyone is fat and lazy and doesn't do anything anymore. Because they're eating processed food all day
I like bread so i bake at home and add many other seeds , chia, flax, etc and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger etc..and my bread must hv acv added. And i take coffee and tea
You are mostly correct in all you are presenting here... But.if you can inquire with the bakers and find out where they are getting their doughs from you can determine how healthy their Breads are.
The trouble is all the little baker’s shops have disappeared because the supermarkets sold bread that was cheaper. Now bread is awful. The only alternative is bake your own. But, who has the time to do that? People have lives that are too busy.
Avoid carbs when you do not deplete your glycogen stores through rigorous exercise but instead like a more sedentary life Carbs should only be a small treat, not the main staple
I buy 100% organic wheat berries and mill my own flour, make my own bread, rolls, buns, and pasta. and if THAT is bad for you then I couldn't careless because I love good fresh bread. and my fresh milled fresh made 100% organic non gmo bread is NOT a brick either, its nice and soft with a crispy crust. There is also nothing wrong with adding a little Sunflower Lecithin which is actually good for you I use the best wheat berries, baja gold salt, the best olive oil, filtered water, yeast and top with a few seeds
In the 70's while I was studying medicine... As a student I ate a lot of bread with my fellow students. They would all come over for coffee or tea and toast...And times that's all what on the table was toast.😅. But there was little bit of research done then, that in one year with amount of anticoagulants, flavour enhances, anti-caking agents, colourants, preservatives..etc It all would fill a train a mile long...for me that was a shocker, after that I started making my own or eating less of it...😢😊😅😂.
In a perfect world...... remember supermarket bread is cheap people dont or can't afford posh breads or certainly don't have time to make it themselves
You and most folks. Most supermarket bread isn't really radically different from what was sold in the 1960s yet people's health seems to have worsened. It suggests to me that bread won't be the main reason.
I’ve gone carnivore,lucky to be able to buy pasture raise pasture finished meat locally, I feel better ,my digestive issues have gone and have lost 3 stone, I know it’s not for everyone but it suits me as I was the worst cook in the world.
PLEASE do a video on the gluten in bread. A Baker told me, years ago, that a representative for selling flour told him that he should add more gluten to his flour, and the flour would make six times more bread and rolls. He then said his rolls did not taste as good and his customers complained, plus the rolls had more 'air holes' in them - so he went back to using more wholesome flour. So these days the bread made by bakers and supermarkets have extra gluten which is really bad for the body and joints. PLUS the combination of gluten and sugar is extremely bad for the joints and body. Home made bread with good flour is better.
I gave up buying bread, cakes and biscuits about a year ago as I was suffering from bloating and felt uncomfortable. I now eat home-made lentil bread and chickpea flour tortillas. Lost all the bloating in a very short time. And I had been eating wholemeal bread.
The best sourdough bread I've found in a supermarket is Jason's Sourdough. Minimal ingredients and no oil. They're sold in Tesco, Sainsbury's and even Ocado I think.
I eat only Sourdough with Red Fife Wheat or Refined Spelt, or Ezekiel. I don't eat it every day. When I do, i have some protein with it. Without bread, I lack energy. I've tried all the main diets, for months into years, and value them, but without bread i just dont have staying power. I also drink a sip of pickle juice just before i chow down 😊
The benefits of fermentation is said to be the good bacterias that result. But in the case of bread, you get the sour taste but the bacterias are all killed in during baking, no matter what temperature, unless you just wait for the dow to dry at room temperature.
You are right to say that baking means you don't inherit microorganisms from the fermented dough but that's not entirely a bad thing because it means monitoring and concerns around food-poisoning are minimal in this widely consumed foodstuff even though ingredients may have been sourced from abroad, kneaded by hand etc. However products of fermentation (prebiotics) remain in the cooked bread and there is evidence that these are beneficial in terms of human digestion and gut maintenance and also that these substances favour the growth of gut organisms that support us, as oppose to those that cause problems. Gut microbiology is a science in its infancy but if you want to delve, you could google Zoe, based at King's College UK, which is a group that tries to disseminate their research on probiotics and prebiotics in lay terms and will also signpost evidence-based research carried out by other leading groups who are also trying to inform the public.
Our family solution with 4 kids at home was to buy a breadmaker…a compromise BUT it gives total control over the ingredients and you can, use the finest flours available in England….we use Shipton Mill flour….organically grown and traditionally milled for the most part and delivered to your door in a 25 kilo bag. The only other ingredients are yeast, salt and water…and in our case a teaspoon of sugar to activate the yeast. That’s it. That’s real bread as defined by law in countries where they do things like that. I know what you’re thinking….people sometimes ask, having tasted the bread….”how LONG does it take to make it?” ……three to four minutes is my honest reply…..
There's absolutely no need whatever of adding sugar!!! The yeast will feed off the flour - it releases enzymes that convert the flour starch into sugar, which the cells absorb and metabolise. Water - flour - yeast - salt...that's ALL you need (been making my own every four days for years). You can add ground nuts, flaxseed, etc. if you want...but NEVER sugar!!!
@@barryfoster453 Oh, please. A teaspoon of sugar in your bread dough is NOT going to cause you any harm. It will be eaten by the yeast and turned into carbon dioxide before the bread is baked. Try thinking a little before giving in to the scare tactics your favorite food "experts" use to keep you coming back to their channels.
Ummm I also love Nan bread, Chapati's and Poppadoms... Or I just knock together some flour, water yeast and salt... Knead it a little while. Let it rest for awhile roll it out knock it flat, cut and roll into handfuls of balls roll it flat and either cook them in some oil for afew 6minutes or bake them for at 210C for 10-15mins. And Viola 😊😅😂
I have just started using it last week as I have IBS. It has made a massive difference, but it does have calcium carbonate, which is another chemical. Calcium carbonate basically gives a longer shelf life to bread.
The Maillard reaction is a browning process, even we go through the Maillard reaction, which is why a child has clear fat, but an old person has darkened fat, every time you brown your sausage, bacon or steak they undergo the Maillard reaction.
In the 70s and 80s there were Butchers, Fishmongersand Bakers all over the place that gave you more choice . Since the supermarkets have now taken over, where do you buy those designer loans from? Another bread you didnt mention is keto bread, does it taste good ?
I dont eat bread but family do so brought bread maker and make my own bread for family its easy you put ingredients in the machine a 5hrs later bread comes out ingredients i use is yeast, wholemeal flour,butter, salt and water wallah bread with no rubbish in it better and healthier than any shop brought bread
What brand bread machine do you have I am thinking of buying one I am not liking market breads I eat bread but not too much but I would like healthier bread and more tasty when I eat it
@adelehagen7684 wow sorry to hear that it broke the bread machine motor I don't like sour dough bread I know it's very popular just don't like the taste I am thinking of buying a bread machine because I don't like the market breads and the price of bread has gone up so much too I thought the bread machine or a Dutch oven might be a good idea
Homemade Irish soda bread is super quick and easy to make, tastes delicious,you can create fresh buttermilk by simply adding lemon juice or vinegar to milk,and leaving it for 5 mins 😉
I'v been have problems with my digestion not sure if its ibs or some kind of food intolerance Bread is one of the foods i can't eat Thank you for the information
I found you can't seem to find anything these days without soy of some description in it. I bought vitamin D3 capsules and they were made with soy. Sausages had soy in them, they were supposed to be all beef. I can't believe where I'm finding that (god forbidden) rubbish.
I started making simple sourdough bread (I highly recommend watching Ben Starr here on youtube to learn the science behind it, and his recipes work really well.)😮 I wouldn’t eat any other bread now. So easy, so tasty and fills you up so I just eat less now, I just feel a lot better generally.
Thank you for providing excellent information about bread.I am going to look more closely at the ingredients in the future. Just wanted to know what your view regarding homemade chapatis using wholemeal chakki atta ( flour). Look forward to viewing your future content on TH-cam. Keep it up. All the best. 👍
I love bread, but I don't eat a lot of it. The bread my husband and I like is a sprouted, sourdough spelt that I order online. It doesn't make great sandwiches, but is wonderful toast. It is a 4 ingredient bread only because of sourdough and spelt.
It would be great for someone to come forward with some good bread recipes. I got good baking books, but it’s always great with approved recipes. Thank you 🙏
Excellent thankyou. Really appreciate the effort and the information. I've been thinking to look into Ezekiel bread. Everything is just so costly and consists of very little value, we've been thinking it could be time to start learning how to home bake. Really. 😮 looking forward to looking at your app.
I started making sourdough during lockdown. Haven’t had to buy bread for four years now. Finnish style Rye bread is my favourite to make and is the simplest for those starting out. The supermarket sourdough breads I have seen are not true sourdough.
Surely Basmati rice cooked at home vs a Supermarket Loaf ( which as mentioned is full of STUFF ) is more preferable? I opt for the rice all the time, but I consider it as a dessert, ( why - because it is basically sugar ) so it is eaten at the end of the meal and not at the start. Like the Glucose Goddess says-(about carbs)-eat them at the end and never naked.
@@barbarapatriciaharrison3853Chemophobia isn't helpful in making food choices. Salt is deadly too if you eat enough. Nature gave you a liver for a reason.
Bread goes mouldy green very quick and just before that a strange smell is given off, I have complained about the smell and the bakery said it was part of the process.
You missed on sprouted grains , just one word at the end . Sprouted grains bread feels healthier easier to digest. In USA & Canada we get GMO & Glyfosate grains and I buy most of my bread from Europe Germany, I think there is no Glyfosate or GMO in European bread & German bread taste & digest well ....
What about shop bought packets of bread mix? Like from Tesco. They don't list dodgy ingredients, but they may not list them given its just bread mix? What say you??
The law requires they list ALL ingredients. If you don't see it then it isn't in the packet. There may be 'fortified flour' perhaps, which will have added vitamins and minerals, but things like gums from seaweed extract, etc would all need to be listed.
Thank you so much for all your videos… so informative 👏👏👏 A quick question is your app a subscription? Do you have any details please… Back to bread… we have been purchasing our sourdough from our very small local bakery …it’s amazing and just like you mention the minimum of ingredients, the loaves are made with love and lots of hand made kneading. The best bread I have found closest to making your own… It is shocking what is added to supermarket bread. I checked a lot of bread out of curiosity with an app. Some of the added ingredients are actually listed as hazardous (red) sadly a lot of consumers have no idea what exactly they are eating. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I also love your cook books… please keep writing!!
You have to be concerned about molding bread. Bread doesn't last long, meaning you have to eat all of it wthin a few days. There is also unseen mold in wheat bread that you cannot see. While many people have a stronger immune systems than others, you can really get get sick from eating seen and unseen mold from bread. Picking off seen mold on bread can possibly mean it has unseen mold too. Preservatives are included in grocery store breads to make it last longer on the shelves.
If you're that worried, you can refrigerate your bread. And "unseen mold" is everywhere, we live in a soup of microorganisms, and our immune systems evolved to handle it. Yes, don't eat moldy bread. But with care it will still last quite a while without getting moldy. Adding fat to your bread dough (oil, butter, whatever) will make your bread more shelf stable, too.
I left a supermarket gluten free loaf of 'bread' out in the kitchen. Half in the wrapper half out. After 9 WEEKS YES WEEKS still no sign of mould.... looks exactly the same as when bought... it's still flexible!! Dont know what it is but it's not food.

@@mooncat.787 Some people are their own worst enemies. They actually think they must give up all foods they like. For example, if you like butter on your toast, have it! But not lashings! A smidgen ( love that word) will have the same effect. Food is so psychological.
@@sophieoliphant8817 Love bread Sophie. I have it once or twice a month fryed in Tallow alongside Tallow fried eggs and bacon. Oh and a big slab of butter. And only 30 grams of carbohydrates from a large slice of Sourdough.
It’s a shame that our food is the new cigarette! Smh.
During lockdown I couldn’t get bread so instead of having bread I turned to yogurts for lunch and cereal for breakfast. I never got ill. After lockdown I went back to adding bread to my died. Last year I felt absolutely awful. From March this year I radically reduced bread products and I feel so much better.

Cereals are the worst thing you can eat. Invented by a bible basher to discourage people from masturbating it's absolute rubbish.
I grew up on a farm in the 70’s. We mostly made our own bread because the closest store was 40 miles away. All of us 8 kids eat bread at every meal. The bread was limited ingredients and store bought bread was like a donut to us. We were all thin and fit however I think it had more to do with working physically hard every day then with what we eat. 😊
It was definitely a function of what you ate. That's how you had the energy to work everyday. It's a loop. If one eats well, one has energy to do the work and the other things that one needs to do. And that's why everyone is fat and lazy and doesn't do anything anymore. Because they're eating processed food all day
Dr Barbara O Neil says that what the problem is, is that just about all the wheat we use today is hybridised which is bred to have much more gluten.
She's been rumbled...she's a dangerous quack
Be careful with that woman's advice, it's been proven some of her theories are quackery.
@@RockMusicTracks Proven by who.
@@RockMusicTracksno idea who Dr Barbara is but she is correct about the hybrid grains; similar for rice.
I like bread so i bake at home and add many other seeds , chia, flax, etc and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger etc..and my bread must hv acv added. And i take coffee and tea

Do you know that Flaxseeds have to be ground daily, otherwise they go straight through the gut in their original state
You are mostly correct in all you are presenting here...
But.if you can inquire with the bakers and find out where they are getting their doughs from you can determine how healthy their Breads are.
The trouble is all the little baker’s shops have disappeared because the supermarkets sold bread that was cheaper. Now bread is awful. The only alternative is bake your own. But, who has the time to do that? People have lives that are too busy.
And it’s addictive because of the sugar and salt
Too busy looking at TH-cam videos on breadmaking..
German style rye bread toasted is a good alternative. Untoasted is horrendous though.
All modern day wheat products should be avoided. High in carbohydrates that give you insulin resistance.
I have 1 slice twice a week, as you are right, Insulin management is the no. 1 challenge for all of us over 30s.
Avoid carbs when you do not deplete your glycogen stores through rigorous exercise but instead like a more sedentary life
Carbs should only be a small treat, not the main staple
@@shueibdahirlies. Eat carbohydrates
Lies, carbohydrates does not result to insulin resistance.
I buy 100% organic wheat berries and mill my own flour, make my own bread, rolls, buns, and pasta.
and if THAT is bad for you then I couldn't careless because I love good fresh bread. and my fresh milled fresh made 100% organic non gmo bread is NOT a brick either, its nice and soft with a crispy crust.
There is also nothing wrong with adding a little Sunflower Lecithin which is actually good for you
I use the best wheat berries, baja gold salt, the best olive oil, filtered water, yeast and top with a few seeds
I did the same while my kids were growing up. Made 90% of their food myself & worked full time.
He is talking about supermarket bread.
I bake bread and it’s super easy and you only need 1 teaspoon of salt for a loaf unlike the store ones that has so much salt and sugar in it.
Move to France, the bread, indeed all the things one wishes to eat are simply wonderful!
Same as Italy. They don’t accept poor quality food
Anywhere in Europe food is multifolds healthier that in shi**y US!
i make my own. organic flour yeast water and and some organic extra virgin olive oil
In the 70's while I was studying medicine... As a student I ate a lot of bread with my fellow students. They would all come over for coffee or tea and toast...And times that's all what on the table was toast.😅. But there was little bit of research done then, that in one year with amount of anticoagulants, flavour enhances, anti-caking agents, colourants, preservatives..etc It all would fill a train a mile long...for me that was a shocker, after that I started making my own or eating less of it...😢😊😅😂.
Most people buy based on cost.
Jenny Mitich channel has a lot of videos managing carnivore shopping.

In a perfect world...... remember supermarket bread is cheap people dont or can't afford posh breads or certainly don't have time to make it themselves
Thank you for all that wonderful information. What’s your point of view on sprouted breads?
Presumably they haven’t started putting chalk in which was rife in bread from mediaeval to Victorian times. Or maybe they’re calling it calcium now.🤔
I have been eating. Bread for over 70 years no health problems
You and most folks. Most supermarket bread isn't really radically different from what was sold in the 1960s yet people's health seems to have worsened. It suggests to me that bread won't be the main reason.
I’ve gone carnivore,lucky to be able to buy pasture raise pasture finished meat locally, I feel better ,my digestive issues have gone and have lost 3 stone, I know it’s not for everyone but it suits me as I was the worst cook in the world.
PLEASE do a video on the gluten in bread. A Baker told me, years ago, that a representative for selling flour told him that he should add more gluten to his flour, and the flour would make six times more bread and rolls. He then said his rolls did not taste as good and his customers complained, plus the rolls had more 'air holes' in them - so he went back to using more wholesome flour. So these days the bread made by bakers and supermarkets have extra gluten which is really bad for the body and joints. PLUS the combination of gluten and sugar is extremely bad for the joints and body. Home made bread with good flour is better.
I gave up buying bread, cakes and biscuits about a year ago as I was suffering from bloating and felt uncomfortable. I now eat home-made lentil bread and chickpea flour tortillas. Lost all the bloating in a very short time. And I had been eating wholemeal bread.
The best sourdough bread I've found in a supermarket is Jason's Sourdough. Minimal ingredients and no oil. They're sold in Tesco, Sainsbury's and even Ocado I think.
Great assessment and feedback on BREAD. Very valuable for general health.
Ezekiel bread is a very good content...
I eat only Sourdough with Red Fife Wheat or Refined Spelt, or Ezekiel. I don't eat it every day. When I do, i have some protein with it. Without bread, I lack energy. I've tried all the main diets, for months into years, and value them, but without bread i just dont have staying power. I also drink a sip of pickle juice just before i chow down 😊
Thanks for the knowledge 😊
The benefits of fermentation is said to be the good bacterias that result. But in the case of bread, you get the sour taste but the bacterias are all killed in during baking, no matter what temperature, unless you just wait for the dow to dry at room temperature.
You are right to say that baking means you don't inherit microorganisms from the fermented dough but that's not entirely a bad thing because it means monitoring and concerns around food-poisoning are minimal in this widely consumed foodstuff even though ingredients may have been sourced from abroad, kneaded by hand etc. However products of fermentation (prebiotics) remain in the cooked bread and there is evidence that these are beneficial in terms of human digestion and gut maintenance and also that these substances favour the growth of gut organisms that support us, as oppose to those that cause problems. Gut microbiology is a science in its infancy but if you want to delve, you could google Zoe, based at King's College UK, which is a group that tries to disseminate their research on probiotics and prebiotics in lay terms and will also signpost evidence-based research carried out by other leading groups who are also trying to inform the public.
doesn't fermentation, in the case of sourdough, break down most of the gluten which makes it better for consumption?
What is your opinion on low carb bread plse?
I only eat cottage cheese bread now made with seeds. Super nutritious 👍
That sounds good Felicity, where do you buy from?
@alisonsweeney7638 I make it myself.. cottage cheese, oats, eggs and seeds.👍
Our family solution with 4 kids at home was to buy a breadmaker…a compromise BUT it gives total control over the ingredients and you can, use the finest flours available in England….we use Shipton Mill flour….organically grown and traditionally milled for the most part and delivered to your door in a 25 kilo bag. The only other ingredients are yeast, salt and water…and in our case a teaspoon of sugar to activate the yeast. That’s it. That’s real bread as defined by law in countries where they do things like that. I know what you’re thinking….people sometimes ask, having tasted the bread….”how LONG does it take to make it?” ……three to four minutes is my honest reply…..
There's absolutely no need whatever of adding sugar!!! The yeast will feed off the flour - it releases enzymes that convert the flour starch into sugar, which the cells absorb and metabolise. Water - flour - yeast - salt...that's ALL you need (been making my own every four days for years). You can add ground nuts, flaxseed, etc. if you want...but NEVER sugar!!!
@@barryfoster453 Oh, please. A teaspoon of sugar in your bread dough is NOT going to cause you any harm. It will be eaten by the yeast and turned into carbon dioxide before the bread is baked. Try thinking a little before giving in to the scare tactics your favorite food "experts" use to keep you coming back to their channels.
thank you great post
Thank you for highlighting these facts ,we have to play the detective roll when it comes to shopping all sorts of products 🕵️♀️

Let it rest for awhile roll it out knock it flat, cut and roll into handfuls of balls roll it flat and either cook them in some oil for afew 6minutes or bake them for at 210C for 10-15mins. And Viola 😊😅😂
Is Jason's Sourdough okay? that's the best I can see in the UK
I have just started using it last week as I have IBS. It has made a massive difference, but it does have calcium carbonate, which is another chemical. Calcium carbonate basically gives a longer shelf life to bread.
Look up No Knead bread recipes , best loaf you will ever taste & only using flour,yeast,salt & water 😋

What about German rye bread?
Good when made in Germany by traditional baker. Can be utterly delicious. Not sure about commercial stuff
German rye bread from lidls has really good ingredients.
The Maillard reaction is a browning process, even we go through the Maillard reaction, which is why a child has clear fat, but an old person has darkened fat, every time you brown your sausage, bacon or steak they undergo the Maillard reaction.
In the 70s and 80s there were Butchers, Fishmongersand Bakers all over the place that gave you more choice .

@adelehagen7684 wow sorry to hear that it broke the bread machine motor I don't like sour dough bread I know it's very popular just don't like the taste I am thinking of buying a bread machine because I don't like the market breads and the price of bread has gone up so much too I thought the bread machine or a Dutch oven might be a good idea
Homemade Irish soda bread is super quick and easy to make, tastes delicious,you can create fresh buttermilk by simply adding lemon juice or vinegar to milk,and leaving it for 5 mins 😉
I'v been have problems with my digestion not sure if its ibs or some kind of food intolerance
Bread is one of the foods i can't eat Thank you for the information
I found you can't seem to find anything these days without soy of some description in it. I bought vitamin D3 capsules and they were made with soy. Sausages had soy in them, they were supposed to be all beef. I can't believe where I'm finding that (god forbidden) rubbish.
I started making simple sourdough bread (I highly recommend watching Ben Starr here on youtube to learn the science behind it, and his recipes work really well.)😮 I wouldn’t eat any other bread now. So easy, so tasty and fills you up so I just eat less now, I just feel a lot better generally.
Thank you for providing excellent information about bread.I am going to look more closely at the ingredients in the future.

What do you think of the Scandinavian style cracker breads?
@@trishbecker4202 I prefer it. Too much dough in one's belly is the real problem.
I love bread, but I don't eat a lot of it. The bread my husband and I like is a sprouted, sourdough spelt that I order online. It doesn't make great sandwiches, but is wonderful toast. It is a 4 ingredient bread only because of sourdough and spelt.
I haven't ate bread since my stomach op in may. But I bought some seeded bread but haven't ate it. Don't think I will now.
It would be great for someone to come forward with some good bread recipes.
I got good baking books, but it’s always great with approved recipes.

Excellent thankyou. Really appreciate the effort and the information. I've been thinking to look into Ezekiel bread. Everything is just so costly and consists of very little value, we've been thinking it could be time to start learning how to home bake. Really. 😮 looking forward to looking at your app.
I started making sourdough during lockdown. Haven’t had to buy bread for four years now. Finnish style Rye bread is my favourite to make and is the simplest for those starting out. The supermarket sourdough breads I have seen are not true sourdough.
Bread has stages in life. Enjoy it while you are healthy and young.
Surely Basmati rice cooked at home vs a Supermarket Loaf ( which as mentioned is full of STUFF ) is more preferable?
I opt for the rice all the time, but I consider it as a dessert, ( why - because it is basically sugar ) so it is eaten at the end of the meal and not at the start.
Like the Glucose Goddess says-(about carbs)-eat them at the end and never naked.
All rice contains arsenic😮

Bread goes mouldy green very quick and just before that a strange smell is given off, I have complained about the smell and the bakery said it was part of the process.
The supermarket wholemeal loaf i buy has 4 grams of fibre per slice.
You're telling me to ignore that?
I think you're wrong , bro.
You missed on sprouted grains , just one word at the end .
Sprouted grains bread feels healthier easier to digest. In USA & Canada we get GMO & Glyfosate grains and I buy most of my bread from Europe Germany, I think there is no Glyfosate or GMO in European bread & German bread taste & digest well ....
So you mentioned temp, should bread be cooked at a certain temperature?
Spelt bread is also considered healthy ???
here in nz all processed bread and flour contains synthetic folates
about time Bread companies are taken to task and our Bread quality raised. I’m a bread snob but eating the wrong stuff. Limiting it big style now
What about shop bought packets of bread mix? Like from Tesco. They don't list dodgy ingredients, but they may not list them given its just bread mix? What say you??
The law requires they list ALL ingredients. If you don't see it then it isn't in the packet. There may be 'fortified flour' perhaps, which will have added vitamins and minerals, but things like gums from seaweed extract, etc would all need to be listed.
Do flaxseed need to be ground for digestion??
Is this n the UK? I feel like the UK has similar food as the USA, in the EU they have very good bread..
Thank you so much for all your videos… so informative 👏👏👏 A quick question is your app a subscription? Do you have any details please… Back to bread… we have been purchasing our sourdough from our very small local bakery
…it’s amazing and just like you mention the minimum of ingredients, the loaves are made with love and lots of hand made kneading. The best bread I have found closest to making your own…
It is shocking what is added to supermarket bread. I checked a lot of bread out of curiosity with an app. Some of the added ingredients are actually listed as hazardous (red) sadly a lot of consumers have no idea what exactly they are eating. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I also love your cook books… please keep writing!!
How about protein bread made worth gluten flour?
Need to question how and where Wheat is grown, so different nowadays.
Thank you for sharing
Stopped eating bread for couple of months and feel super good.
You have to be concerned about molding bread. Bread doesn't last long, meaning you have to eat all of it wthin a few days. There is also unseen mold in wheat bread that you cannot see. While many people have a stronger immune systems than others, you can really get get sick from eating seen and unseen mold from bread. Picking off seen mold on bread can possibly mean it has unseen mold too. Preservatives are included in grocery store breads to make it last longer on the shelves.
If you're that worried, you can refrigerate your bread. And "unseen mold" is everywhere, we live in a soup of microorganisms, and our immune systems evolved to handle it. Yes, don't eat moldy bread. But with care it will still last quite a while without getting moldy. Adding fat to your bread dough (oil, butter, whatever) will make your bread more shelf stable, too.
I left a supermarket gluten free loaf of 'bread' out in the kitchen. Half in the wrapper half out. After 9 WEEKS YES WEEKS still no sign of mould.... looks exactly the same as when bought... it's still flexible!! Dont know what it is but it's not food.
