A question of bread, learned friends

Gays don't eat bread - so good luck with this.

Make your own bread.

I eat bread.

This variety of Dave's Killer Bread has only one gram of sugar per slice. I tend to make it as a base for avocado toast so don't really know how it would taste without toppings.

I tried it. It has added sugars.

Also, tastes like sawdust.

Actually, I think I tried a different Killer Dave’s bread.

The “Tuscan” bread is sourdough which is considered healthier because the natural yeast and associated bacteria break down some of the starches and lower the bread’s glycemic index, so the lack of whole grain is less significant. I think I’ll stick with it.

Making my own seems so ambitious. Even the contestants on the Great British Bake Off rarely get it right.

Sugar and salt are the twin poisons of commercial American food.

You could try making your own -- try first with just half whole wheat and see what you think. Definitely add SOME salt or it will be horrible.

I promise you can make this. Use the honey instead of sugar.

Honey is sugar.

One day earlier and you'd've been in time for Lammas.

The glycemic index is generally a pile of nonsense. The ingredients are tested in isolation, not in a way that they are normally eaten. White rice has a higher glycemic than brown when eaten alone, but the presence of fats, protein and fiber slow the impact of simple carbs on blood sugar. When rice is eaten with meat and vegetables, for example, the difference between brown and white rice is negligible. The same with white flour and whole wheat. If you are just eating bread, sure, but if you are making a sandwich, eat the one you prefer. I would go with the one without added sugar, even if it has white flour.
