healthiest bread?

thor

I've been reading up on different types of bread and which is the healthiest. It seems to me that wholegrain is the best way to go as they retain the most nutrients after the bread making process. At the supermarkets there are so many types, white, brown, wholemeal, multigrain, rye etc. Which bread is the best to buy at an affordable price? Do Hovis do wholegrain loaves for example? or are there decent supermarket own brands out there?

Supermarkets don't sell bread they sell a bread like substance.

For bread go to a baker who naturally ferments the dough and only uses 4 ingredients. THAT'S bread!

Just pop into your large supermarket and look at the huge variety of bread available. Each store will have a least two brand names plus their own brand of every variety of bread known to mankind, its a question of personal taste

As to how healthy supermarket bread is - thats a completely different story . The healthiest bread is home made, flour, yeast, salt and water, supermarket bread is loaded with salt and improvers and additives and a whole host of other things which gives it its long shelf life

Personally I find supermarket bread gives me wind, makes me feel bloated and generally sluggish so I eat very little bread and when I do have to have bread, I prefer to buy slims which are basically very very very thin rolls, so thin you could read a book through them. A pack of those would last me around 2 weeks. They never seem to go off, which is what I mean about the amount of additives in bread

Very easy to make your own using 4 ingredients or buy a good sourdough
