I get my muesli from http://www.bobsredmill.com/index.php
They have various flours, some are organic.

Re: Thanks For the Bread Tips
I would love the onion as that is one of my favorite breads but hold the cheese and especially the bacon. Now if anyone has a recipe for a good raisin/cinanimom bread, pass it along.

Re: Thanks For the Bread Tips
Any good breadmaker recipe books anyone can recommend?
I tried a recipe book from the library but the resulting loaves were still like bricks

I use King Arthur for almost all baking. It's the better of the two brands I've used in the US.
... and I use White Lily just for making biscuits.

Re: Thanks For the Bread Tips
I have taken all your complaints, hints and information on packaged breads to heart and this Christmas I bought myself, with some of the gift cards I received at the office, a lovely bread machine that makes up to a 2 pounder with little fuss or muss.
Now I can control what "additives" are in my bread and I have to say the bread that I've made so far is awesome. Yes, Roland, there is that word again
My DH is enjoying it and is actually having a sandwich now and again. So far I have made Italian bread, herb bread with cheese, caraway rye bread and I'm going to be adventurous this weekend and they a type of multi-grain bread. One loaf of 1-1/2 lbs will last us for a week or longer. But without preservatives I don't know how much longer.
An added plus to this is that with diabetes, I am only allowed so many carbs per meal and two slices of pre-packaged bread alone would nearly send me over the limit but not so with the homemade bread. I can have a moderate sandwich now and within the prescribed timeframe after a meal have my glucose count well within the normal range.
Thanks, again.

Rete ..... You have the best bread I ever tasted right in your back yard (so to speak)
'Bastone' bakery in Yonkers makes the best I have ever tasted, we send guys out in the early hours from the sugar refinery to get the stuff for our early morning feasts

Re: Thanks For the Bread Tips
So I just got sent a load of recipes (thank you), went and got the breadmaker out... only to find the paddle is missing.
I suspect a small 2 year old had something to do with it.

Re: Thanks For the Bread Tips
Agreed. They sell to all the local stores in the Yonkers area. When you are next down in Yonkers ask any of the older locals if they know of Landy's. It is on Linden Street and makes what we Yonkerites call "wedges". It is a hero with the choices cold cuts topped with lettuce, tomato, oil, vinegar and your choice of mayo or mustard and one wedge feed three people and was so cheap.
Mclean Heights (my living area) sells freshly made Irish breads and they are the best I've ever had.
