I received a free bread maker from a neighbor, and since then I've gone nuts trying all the recipes the machine has to offer. Although one issue I can see is all the recipes involve some kind of butter or oil, so I may need to experiment reducing and eventually eliminating that.
In any case, I've really come to terms with the fact that Bread has always been my comfort food - I ate tons of it as a kid (& was quite overweight but I'm not convinced the bread was the cause here) and it feels like I have very little "off switch". Rice is easier for me to control and I have been eating lots of it since starting the high-starch diet. So long as one controls the ingredients and knows what's in it, are there any health-related concerns one would have with eating over half their calories as homemade bread?
I have a feeling this is just the "honeymoon" period I'm having with my new gadget but man is it satisfying to eat a lot of bread again.
