Most 'wheat breads', those brown versions of the white loaf are just
darker because the mfg has added molasses to turn it brown. They
can get away with 'wheat bread' on the label because all bread,
more or less, is a wheat product. Read labels carefully and
compare the good stuff to the known troublemakers, and you may
see there is very little difference between the two.
Now that even the plainest breads are $1.50 and up for a loaf, it
makes owning a bread machine look like a better idea. To make
this garden related, if you do use a machine, you can make pizza
dough or rolls in the thing, just pull them out and shape them by
hand sometime after the machine has done the mixing, kneading
and rising. Adding your home grown herbs to the dough and you
can eliminate much of the salt and sweeteners found in the
'boughten' varieties.
