Western people love bread, although not everyone eats it because it is fattening. Eating too much bread is fattening, but decent bread is very satisfying, so there is no need to over indulge, which means that it does not have to become a burden on your waist band. Similarly, good bread does not require butter or margarine, so that is another saving on calories and oil.
Bread can also be a decent source of dietary fibre and once you have eaten real bread, you will never go back to white, sliced, supermarket bread. In fact, it is the white sliced bread that gives bread such a dire name.
These recipes are meant to be mixed and baked in a bread cooking machine, but they can be mixed by hand as well. I have used a bread making machine for years, but I used to prepare it by hand, and I can honestly say that I can not tell the difference between them.
Furthermore, the machine saves a great deal of time and because it cooks on a timer, you can wake up to warm bread every morning, if you want.
