Yeast


I bought 8 more packages of yeast as I intend to make more homemade bread. If you have never eaten home made bread or smelled it baking, you have missed one of the pleasures of life. It doesn't taste like the paste bread you buy in a plastic wrapper at your grocery store. It doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth or gum up and cling to your teeth or dentures. It does stick to your tummy and give you a satisfying felling. It doesn't have chemicals, preservatives or unknown additives that can't be pronounced. Home made bread is the staff of life that has nourished mankind down through the ages. Home made bread has actual flavor and can be actually chewed. And it is good for you. It is the real deal in food, but not in fast food because you make it yourself...or maybe your lucky enough to have someone to bake it for you. Good things and good food take time. If you are a survivalist or a "prepper," baking is a good skill to develop/acquire and or teach because you can make/mill many of the common grass seeds. After all, wheat was a wild "weed...grass," eons ago.
Bread has only flour, water, oil or butter and yeast as the main ingredient. You can find wonderful recipes on the Internet or in any good cook book. You and add nuts, raisins, fruits, or spices according to your taste or whims. Make bread and enjoy life. Remember the parable of Christ dividing the loaves and the fishes...you can share, too.
