Making Fresh Baked Breads & Treats
Baking your own bread is a rewarding and economical alternative to buying processed and pre-packaged baked goods at the supermarket. These mass produced products may contain flavor enhancers, excessive salt and other additives designed to extend the shelf life of the product far beyond its flavor factor. With just a little practice you can bake traditional breads and risen dough treats as well as sourdough baked goods in the true artisan style in your kitchen. All you need is the knowledge and will to do so. A two pound loaf of fresh baked bread will cost about ½ as much as a commercially loaf and will have much better flavor. An added benefit of being the baker is that you can add any ingredient you consider to be of health worth such as honey instead of sugar, reduced salt, whole oats or other grains.
