I don't know if it's healthier, but I make my own bread most of the time.
Recipe: 2.5 cups organic unbleached white flour 2 teaspoons yeast 1 tablespoon kosher salt (kosher is important because it gives the bread a better texture) 1.5 cups lukewarm water. Mix the dry ingredients together then stir in the water. The dough will be really sticky. Flour up your hands and a surface and work in just enough extra flour to make it not stick to everything. Don't overknead! If you knead it too much it will be flat. And don't make the water too hot or it will kill the yeast. Put it in a metal bowl covered in saran wrap for like an hour or two. Then you can either make it into a focaccia by flattening it into a pizza shape, coating with olive oil and sprinkling with kosher salt.... or cut it in half and make 2 baguettes (you need a special pan for this). If you want to the baguette to crisp up nicely, brush the top with egg white. |
