Basic Whole Wheat Bread: Think ouside the bread box

You can stretch your budget and your menu with the one basic bread recipe that we send out with every newsletter.

"How?" – you may ask. Simply look at the lump of dough differently. This is a mindset - just start thinking outside the bread box.

Freshly Milled Whole Wheat Hot Dog Buns

Freshly Milled Whole Wheat Hot Dog Buns

 

The Basic "Fool Proof" Bread Recipe we send out second in our newsletter series can be shaped into:

~ Burger Buns
~ Hot Dog Buns
~ Hoagie Buns
~ Bread Sticks (filled and twisted or just plain, warm and toasty)
~ Bread Bowls for Chilli and Soups
~ and SO many more potentials….

Even once made they can become other things if you don't used all of them up. Just a few left over could become:
~ Croutons (any of the above, even if it's one loan bun)
~ Garlic Bread (best for the hot dog/hoagie buns with lasagna and salad - YUM)
~ Toasted Crackers (slice thin on an angle [if not split for burger or hot dog] and butter/toast) - good with slices of cheese and a salad!
~ Open Faced Cheese Bread (top with mixed cheeses and broil) to go with soups

So even as simple as the ONE recipe may be. Don't get stuck with it ALWAYS just being a loaf of bread! Shape and use it in multiple ways!

Best Blessings!~

Hi.

Good question!

When I make a loaf of bread (hot dog buns, etc) the cost is less than $1.07.  The best part is that I know all the ingredients and no addatives are in there. This cost reflects all organic or chemical free freshly milled grain, sea salt, organic cane crystals or honey, organic olive oil and yeast.  That's about all there is to it.

Why pay .99 cents for white elmer's glue buns when for a few pennies more we can eat what our body will recognize and have all the fiber!

Best Blessings!
