Topic: home-made organic bread recipes?

we've had one those bread machines for ages, every now and then we'll wheel it out and make murmurings about making bread...

i wondered if anyone had any great recipes that they regularly use... preferably organic and with seeds... any extra ingredients that might be good for the body (and soul) that we might not know about?

thanks in advance.

My wife makes gluten free bread, we avoid gluten as much as possible for health reasons, here is a recipe. You can add onions or herbs for more flavour.

I think adding about 25% hemp seed flour really turns the bread into a far more nutritious product and i would avoid white flour at all costs as its just empty calories with practically zero nutrionanal value, just body clogging gluten and poor quality carbs while the wholemeal wheat flour at least contains some nutrition and not had it bleached out.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

cheers for that barefoot doc...

i guess i need to check out gluten-free/hemp flour to see how it tastes.

one thing i've noticed having moved from the uk to the usa is how sweet much of the shop bought bread is... there's really no need for it.
