The man that makes all the dough around here!

The man that makes all the dough around here!


Hey there, folks! I've got a little story to share with you, and it's all about the bread – the homemade kind. You might have heard that I'm the bread guy around these parts, but here's the real scoop: the one who's bringing home the bacon (figuratively speaking, of course) in our household is my amazing lady.

Now, don't get me wrong; I absolutely love baking bread. It's become a bit of a passion for me. Besides the joy it brings, it's also a way for me to provide my family with something wholesome and delicious while making the most of our budget.

Let's talk numbers for a minute. Would you believe it costs roughly one dollar to make a one pound loaf of homemade bread, especially if you're smart about where you shop? That's the beauty of it. But here's the real kicker – my homemade bread doesn't come with all those chemicals and additives you find in store-bought stuff. As a result, about 90% of my stomach issues have disappeared. No more reaching for Nexium or Losec, and no more awful acid reflux.

I've been at this bread-making adventure for about three months now, and guess what? It's been three months since I last needed any stomach medication. Pretty cool, right?

Recently I have switched to only using Non bleached wholewheat mixed with non bleached all purpose flour, water, salt and yeast. This means no sugar, no added fats. Still makes an amazing, delicious bread with a fantastic crumb and a nice crust. This is a great bread if you are watching your blood sugars because it has a lower glycemic index and doesn't spike your sugars.

Also if you are looking for something with sugar and oil added for more texture that's easy enough to arrange.

I don't just bake for myself; I've been sharing our bread with a few loved ones, and I'm on the lookout for a few people who'd like a regular supply of my homemade bread.

$3 per pound, and I'll even slice it and bag it for your convenience. It stays fresh for about a week and can be kept in the freezer.

If you're interested and want to get your hands on some of this homemade bread, just drop me a message on Facebook Messenger or give me a call if you have my number. Your taste buds and your wallet will both thank you!

Signing off for now
Peace and love everyone
Looking forward to sharing
