This is our second week of discussing flours and breads. It’s a big topic and really in the grocery store organic bread has the smallest presence of any other type of product. So why should we look organic for this? What’s the difference between plan old regular cheap bread and organic bread?
What should be in your bread?
In its most basic form, bread is flour, water, a little salt, and yeast. That’s it. If you have those ingredients, you can make the best bread in town! Last week, we talked about what makes a good flour. You want to find the most freshly milled flour you can, something unbleached, and organic, when possible. (Best case scenario is a home-milled organic flour.) Today, we’re looking at breads! We’ll compare conventional store bought bread with organic bread. Are there differences? Is the difference worth the extra cost?
What’s in the bread you’re buying?
Despite how “simple” bread can be, with as little as four ingredients, what’s available to us in grocery stores is quite a different story. If you happen to have a loaf of bread around, take a look at the label and see what’s inside.
[As I started looking at different brands of bread, I noticed about half of the major companies did not publicly disclose their ingredients list online (Nature’s Own, Sunbeam, and Pepperidge Farm, for example). Other brands did provide full nutritional info: Arnold, Cobblestone Mill, and Bimbo Bread, to name a few.]
I’ve rounded up a few different national brands and listed their ingredients and the number of ingredients they contain.
