Good morning,

Last week we talked about all of the chalk and chlorine dioxide found in grocery store white bread. But how can you guarantee that what you're eating is healthy and all natural? Why not make your bread at home!

Thanks for reading,

You don't have to spend hours making dough and sitting next to an oven waiting for your bread to bake. A decent, automatic bread maker will cost you between $100 and $150.

Being small enclosed units, modern bread makers are quite efficient in terms of electricity.

You can also buy ready-made bread mixes that even eliminate the need to prepare your own dough (unless you want to make it for fun).

There is a wide range of organic bread mixes available for people who are cautious about both health and environmental concerns.

One of the other great advantages of baking your own bread using pre-mixes is the shelf life of the mix; it will keep for months!

You are even using less packaging, as you can reuse one bread bag over and over again.

Plus, it's just plain fun!
