14 Foods You Should Never Eat

Rye bread, best in the variety whole-grain bread. Nothing but health benefits, no health risks documented. Seems to be unknown in the US (the article is by MSN), but there are way more rye bread than wheat bread recipies in Europe. It's what we call 'bread', and the travesties made from wheat have other names. Like 'Baguettes'.

No, rye bread is very well known in the U.S.

OK, in the U.S. it's almost always mixed with wheat flour, sadly.

Yes, rye bread is very popular in the US, especially in my home town of NY.

The article you refer to is in no way reflective of US views or knowledge, just another author trying to make money.

You can get rye flour at Tops supermarkets here that seems quite good, produces a very dark loaf with strong rye taste so if it is cut, I don't think it is cut by much. I make it often.

Could you possibly post your recipe please... I would like to try and make some. I've just found out that I have a few little ulcers so along with Pariet I have to change my diet ...a lot of the things that I like are out for a while. Some nice bread would be welcome .... thanks

All bread is the same. If you have a bread maker (and if not, get one -- well worth it) you just put some water in the bottom, add the flour on top, make a small well in the middle and put in the yeast, then add the oil of your choice in each iof the 4 corners and turn the machine on, they come with different settings for whole wheat, small/large loaves etc

With experience you get to know the right amounts of water for a particular flour.

Variations involve type of flour or mixes of flour, type of oil, and you can always add garlic, onions or herbs to the mix.

I make my own bread in a bread machine using white bread flour which is all I can get out in the sticks.

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs honey (instead of sugar)

400 ml water

4 cups bread flour

2 tsp salt

3 tsp yeast

1 heaped tsp bread improver

Put in the machine in that order

Select loaf size

select crust control

push the start button

3 hours later

a freshly baked load hot from the machine

And thats magic folks

Looks nice indeed, as I don't eat much bread (often go days without it), i buy a few loafs at a time at foodaland (bakery) and put them in the freezer. Just take a few slices out once in a while. If i ate more bread id certainly consider making it myself and making a healthy one.

Good work bild, just one question are they not a bit hard to cut or you get used to the bit strange shape ?

The problem is that it is a vertical bread pan but slicing it is easy as I use an electric carving knife.

At sometime in the future I will buy a proper slicing machine but as I have the electric knife and I mostly use it for the bread a slicer wouldn't get much use.

Handy for slicing bacon or ham but I don't do that every week or even every month either.

There is a wonderful smell in the house just at the moment as I have just made a fresh loaf.

Very tasty, warm fresh bread with lots of salted butter and some fresh ham or cheese.

Yummy.
