I wasn't telling you specifically to make your own bread lol. This thread is not about you or me, but shared experiences and advice by many. You take from it what you want, you don't have to take it all, or any of it. We all have the right to share you know.... It takes 5 minutes to put it in...

It's hard in my area to find brands that don't have many additives and when you do, at say, whole foods, their super expensive. That's what I meant up above when I said I can't buy all organic stuff, economics is always a factor. If we could as easily grow our own veggies and fruits we would...

Thank you. I looked and their orange is perhaps the only one that would go well with chocolate, but at least it's one flavor to start with :) Something is up with their site, I can't check out. I may have to call them. It gives me hope if they can make orange without anything else, then someone...

You're right. We all got sick of the bread machine bread over time. It was good, but everyday for years is too much. So my had began making other varieties including baguettes. Their not just different shape, totally different flavor. You can make ciabbatas as well by making the dough in the...

I don't know chopper, you laughed when someone else kinda made fun of me. But sure I will ask him this weekend when I visit & let you guys know :) But 3 things you should know: 1. If you don't have time for putting ingredients in a bread maker and letting IT do all the work, you likely won't...

Thanks! Are they all natural no added sugar and preservatives? I haven't seen them in my store in that section. If you get a chance when you are in again, could you please let me know what brand they are?

I want to add the following to a dry mix (not all at once, individually depending on mood) mint, vanilla, orange, hazelnut etc...basically anything that goes well with chocolate. But, it must be dried powder form. And it must dissolve easily in water with aggressive stirring, not a mixer...

I completely agree cooking goddess, there are exceptions, but not in the regular bread aisle. Buying fresh from the bakery helps a lot. It's true, it takes time. My dad is quick but only because he's done it so long.

True, but too much of a good thing....you know what they say.... store bought breads have like 4 or 5 grams of sugar per slice and we get use to that flavor. That is ridiculous, that's a teaspoon of sugar in one thin slice! It's not a dessert. My dad uses a tablepoon for the entire loaf and 1.5...

I would use it for both coffee as well as recipes, but how can one be a third more fat for the same thing and same grams? Also not sure which additives are not as bad for both products.

And yet when comparing fats between milk and dark, their also the same for the same size. I don't get it :( What is the deal with undweetened cocoa powder? What is that composed of ? Cocoa bean and cocoa butter or has the butter been removed? Thanks.

Between these 2 powdered heavy creams that are suppose to be more natural than store bought, which do you think is better? They both have added ingredients and I wonder which are not as bad? Will Powder says now says they don't add sugar, yet theirs has more sugar than the other brand for the...

Store bought bread is JUNK, full of crap. My dad has perfected his bread. You'd be amazed what 15 or 20 years of perfecting his bread tastes like; without the high sugar, salt, preservatives of store breads. The flavor is AMAZING. People keep telling him he'd make millions selling it.

Hi everyone, Not sure if this is better in the general cooking or diabetic cooking section. But since I am using sugar substitute then I guess I will post here, though part of it is a general question. I had asked someone what is the difference in ingredients between milk and dark chocolate...
