Today is Homemade Bread Day

Sliced bread is undoubtedly a good thing – it saves time, and the effort of kneading. But it’s a real shame that so few of us get to taste the yeasty deliciousness that is home-made bread. And that’s where Home-Made Bread Day comes in!

The origins of this Day are shrouded in mystery, but its purpose and benefits are obvious. The invention of the bread-maker has taken a lot of the effort out of baking, meaning that there is no reason why everyone shouldn’t enjoy home-made bread, which is often of much higher quality than the stuff you can buy in a shop. Home-baked bread is often healthier, higher in fibre and lower in salt and additives than commercial varieties, and the recipe can be modified to suit the maker’s tastes, with grains, spices or other additions.

I make a lot of our bread, and like to try other things. Home made Tea Cakes are lovely, as are Muffins. Crumpets, not to much. Bagels - more like frisbees.

 

I tried making homemade bread once many years ago.

The results were used as a door stop for a while and then unceremoniously chucked in the bin.

Luckily I can call in on one of the artisanal bakers around here and pay only £3.50 for a sourdough.

 

In honour of the day.
£3.50 too cheap. They take about 24 hours of loving care, attention and artisanal organic ancient grain picked in moonlight to make.

 

I make all our bread. Some recent examples:

 

My Panasonic bread maker takes all the hard work out of it, as someone else says less sugar, salt and no preservatives. Shop bread usually includes Calcium Propionate otherwise known as E282 which amongst other things can cause behavioural problems in kids. Next time you buy a loaf of Hovis or other lesser supermarket bread check it out, see what Marmite you are eating without realising it.

I hate paying good money for supermarket bread, I make it when I need it and hence our machine gets used several times a week, I have just popped the ingredients in for a granary loaf. I really ought to use it to make dough for rolls etc. the downside is thicker slices of toast.

 

Our local lidl bakes bread on site..
It's cheaper than the kits in a bag..
Tiger loaf ,still warm of the shelf..59p

 

They look lovely

 

I've tried, many times, indigestible results,
I'll just keep supporting our local baker.

 

Yes our local lidl has a funny on wheels thing for cooking the bread and I do buy their croissants but isn't it all shipped in part baked.

Your tiger bread contains
Flour Treatment Agents: Ascorbic Acid, L - Cysteine; Stabiliser: Diphosphates.

 

Sorry Bern, thought you was going to give your secret out

 

must be what makes it so tasty ...

 

I bet Corbyn makes home made bread

 

Sliced pan's are a bit scarry these days, they stay soft for sooooo long, someone was on the radio the other day saying nothing has changed in baking sliced pans for the last 50 years but they were never like that, luckily the local shop stocks proper sliced pans that are made locally and go rock hard after two days like bread is supposed to do, much tastier to.

I used to work in a bakers a few years ago. be at work for 4 in the morning!!!! the smell of fresh made bread. and the taste when it is warm. lovely.

 

Totally agree. When the butter and cheese melt into it... mmmm

 

oh yes!!!! when the bread was baked and ready about between 6 and 7 in the morning, get a couple of slices with cheese on then back in oven till all melted!! yum!!

 

Whats the point of making bread seriously?
It costs more and looking at the finished products ? Why!

 

It doesn’t cost more - the white loaf I make costs about 60p to make, for a large split tin.
No additives or sugar. Toasts better than any shop-bought bread.
