25 – Real Bread Week: Real bread refers to any type of bread that has been made without the use of processing aids or any other additives and includes any type of additive-free bread (e.g. pita, paratha, tortilla, oatcakes, roti, bagels, etc.). Do you, or have you ever, made bread? Do you use a bread maker? If you always buy rather than make bread, do you look for bread that at least claims to be additive-free, made from organic flour, etc.?

Yes, I have made bread off and on for many years. Up until 3 years ago (my starter did not survive our kitchen remodel) I made some form of sourdough bread on a weekly basis.

I did have a bread machine (a family member gave it to us as a Christmas gift) many years ago, but IMO all of the bread tasted the same.

Now, when I buy bread, it is exclusively from local bakers where I know (the very short) Ingredient list. I do plan to get back into making my own sour dough, but with K out of town every week, I have had to give up some things that I just do not have time for.

I'm always surprised by how bland most shop-bought bread is even if it claims to be sourdough! There's no comparison really is there!

Bland and also filled with air. Grocery store bread here have no substance, too squishy!
