Thanks for the replies all!
However I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle as the supermarket didn't have any organic bread.
And I'm too realistic to think I'm going to regularly bake my own.
I might have to seek out a specialty shop for it.

Could you get hold of one of those bread-making machines?
They don’t always bake that well, but they do all the mixing, kneading and proving for you: just have to use the “dough only” setting and then tip it into a tin and bung in a hot oven when it chirrups at you.

I had one once, years ago, but I only used it a handful of times and wasn't very impressed with the way the bread came out - which is how I know I'm probably better off finding somewhere that sells the pre-baked stuff.

Then I think all of your dietary needs will be solved if you buy a loaf of organic bread. Good luck with your complex task. It's just a maze having to locate such wild purchases isn't it?


Alas, poor me! Life is so hard! :lol:

Wouldn't it be even healthier to knead your organic bread by hand without a bread machine or mechanical mixer?

It depends on what's in that crud under your fingernails.

[quote="Fnord"]Gluten gives bread its chewy texture and "yummy" flavor.  Without gluten, bread would be more like rice-cakes -- those dry, crunchy, flavorless, abrasive hockey-pucks that scream for something to be put on them to make them fit for human consumption.

Gluten is not evil; but people who try to demonize gluten for everyone else are.[/quote
Loooolz gulten free hockey pucks , knew immediately about those referencing rice cakes .lol :)

And THAT depends on where you've last scratched yourself.

In my opinion, studies like that just suggest things that may need to be studied, if someone is willing to pay for studies.

For instance, a well funded researcher could go into a bad neighborhood with a lot of disease and offer to put up a hundred families in identical housing, with the stipulation that half of them use nonstick cookware and the other half use cast iron cookware for ten years and see if there is really a difference. I think that a lot of new moms would jump at the chance for free housing. Most important, we would provide free healthcare to monitor the kids. And we would finally know the answer with a lot of certainty.
