3 Untypical Bread Recipes

Western people love bread, although not everyone eats it because it is fattening. Eating too much bread is fattening, but good bread is very satisfying, so there is no necessity to over indulge, which means that it does not have to be a burden on your waist band. Similarly, decent bread does not require butter or margarine, so that is another economy on calories and oil.

Bread can also be a decent source of dietary fibre and once you have eaten real bread, you will never go back to white, sliced, supermarket bread. In fact, it is the white sliced bread that gives bread such a dire name.

These recipes are intended to be prepared and baked in a bread making machine, but they can be mixed by hand too. I have used a bread making machine for years, but I used to prepare it by hand, and I can honestly say that I can not tell the difference between them.

Furthermore, the machine saves a great deal of time and because it cooks on a timer, you can wake up to warm bread every morning, if you want.
