Bread Glorious Bread. Over the past three months I have been slowly introducing some changes to our way of eating. With our large family, implementing change doesnt happen over night. With the daily chaos, I need to slowly work my way through changes, one at a time. And I get it totally installed before moving on to the next. I started reading a most amazing and thought provoking book called Trim Healthy Mama. Now, I am the first to admit, diets and me just dont go hand in hand. I am the worst dieter ever!! I am always hungry and always blowing my portion sizes and I have a deep desire for something sweet with most meals... :P .... As I continue slowly on this journey, however, I have made some changes. One I would like to share today is the bread issue. Oh yes. Bread. Well I have been blessed to have been pointed in the direction of sour dough bread. Oh my goodness! I so look forward to my breakfast of toasted sour dough bread, with a slither of butter slightly melting and a beautiful freshly brewed black coffee. Now, before I completely lose you... ITS SO EASY!! Honest!! I dont do long hours of kneading etc. No way! Not this busy Mum! A dear friend pointed me to the this linkgwens-nest/family-favorite-recipes/easy-bread-recipe/ - a blog with the most amazing recipes and I encourage you to check her out right now!! (and the best thing about sour dough bread... the natural fermentation process over the 3-5 days in the fridge eats up all the sugar so when you go to eat this yummy bread you have a low carb bread at a fraction of the supermarket price!) The only change to the recipe I have made is that I have cut down the amount of salt. We dont eat a lot of salt and I found the sour dough bread with that amount of salt just too overpowering. Its a personal taste. I have two batches on the go at a time. The childrens batch which is made with more white flour than mine that I like to mix up with rye and wholemeal flours. Be adventurous and give it go!
