| The best way to guarantee that you and your family get the very best food is to make it yourself. This is so easy with the bread machine it is almost magical. In the privacy of your own kitchen you combine the flour and water, you add the yeast, you select the sweetener (if any), and you push the button to start the baking process. That s all there is to it! And at the end of the cycle you have an aromatic loaf of fresh-as-can-be bread bursting with the goodness of whole grains and containing no hidden additives or refined sugar. I firmly believe in eating whole grains, and you will come to under- stand why as you read this book. Their nutritional benefits are manifold. Have you seen the new Food Pyramid developed by the federal gov- ernment? The bottom portion, from which we are meant to eat the most, lists whole grains. Getting enough whole grains is no problem when you make it a habit to eat breads made with whole,grain flours. Flours made from grains such as whole wheat and rye make better-tasting and more nutritious breads than those made from standard, nutritionally depleted all-purpose, or so-called bread, flour. At Krst, you may be surprised by the flavor of these breads, especially if you are not accustomed to whole.grain foods. A friend who tried my recipe for 100 Percent Whole Wheat Bread (see page 66) called me with a less.than-enthusiastic reaction. It tastes okay, he said, but it s a little chewy and not at all sweet. How about adding a little shortening and sugar? Absolutely not!I |
