A new bread is being developed to make a healthier white loaf that has the nutrition as Brown bread. Made from things as quinoa, teff, sorghum and millet. Green peas and chickpeas with the bran lost in milling being added. Will it be the same as today's white bread which contain a shed full of additives ?
It should taste like ordinary cotton wool white bread and should be available in two years.
It's Bread Jim, but not as we know it.🍞
I dough know, but I guess it’ll be Mothers Pride if they pull it off :thumbup: ;)

Actually apart from a very small amount of preservative there are no additives in today's white bread

But precious little goodness either.

I saw that too, with similar thoughts.

We usually eat something with the same nutritional content as brown bread. It's called........ brown bread. Available from all good supermarkets.

That again is untrue - it is a fallacy purported by the advocates of wholemeal and artisan bread.

I won't touch any brown bread with a ten foot barge pole as you have no idea what is in it.

This healthy white loaf thing is a complete waste of time…just sprinkle a spoonful of ‘Sanatogen’ over it and you’ll be set up for the day :thumbup:

Onelife always comes up with the best tips :D

I find white bread tasteless compared with brown bread, and I doubt that Hovis or Warburtons will be putting anything untoward in their brown bread.

I think that’s the case with most staple foods…..its what you put on it that makes it more digestible.

We’ve got a bread maker which is used occasionally; however, the mixing blade always leaves a biggish hole in the loaf after its baked…not sure if this is the same with most bread makers but haven’t found a way round this problem. :think:

It’s work in progress, with none having been given a packed lunch for their outward-bound journey is my understanding. If the Government can get passed all the nandy pandy do-gooders, they are expecting the first flights to depart sometime during late June/early July by which time another 100,00 will have arrived and disappeared in to the woods…hopefully down souf would be desirable.

I think we should give a few more million quid to the French, it may prompt them to put another policeman on the beaches to observe the boats leaving like the police already there do.

So two twelve year olds charged with murder after ‘Allegedly’ getting a machete and hacking some poor soul to death appear in court but the judge , barristers and lawyers etc aren’t wearing the wigs etc because they don’t want to frighten the poor little souls.! Well, tough tit. Big enough to do what there charged with, big enough to face the reality of court.!

since we banned guns you don't often hear of them being used, they are still out there but not not so many, but knives, not a day passes without out story of a knife attack, stop and search is the only answer no matter what colour you are.

Last month our local police have been riding around in a tractor unit to look inside lorry cabs and down into cars finding those using phones etc or no seat belts. What amazes me is 200+ drivers were caught not using the seat belt. It's the first thing I automatically do upon entering the car, after 40 years after the seat belt law was made, why do drivers fail to belt up, it could one day save their life.

And people still use mobile phones even though they drive round in modern cars with broadband connections. Stupid.
