Why to bake bread at home?

Most of us belong to the school of thought of trying to cut down on every possible effort we put in in managing our daily household chores. It can be something as regular as boiling milk to replacing meals with healthy bread.

Though when you have a sandwich business, you will want to bake bread on your own instead of buying it ...especially when you come to know that you pay 4-5 times more per sandwich bread if you buy it from outside.

Also, since most of us today are health conscious and watch our weight, we can prepare bran bread, whole wheat bread, semolina bread or a mixture of few. A wholewheat bread is much healthier and has 60 calories per slice. Did you know that there is 100% calorie difference between the bread made of flour and bread made of wheat. Not only this, wheat bread has more roughage and hence accelerates your metabolism rate along with keeping your sugar levels low. It is important for us, the ready-to-eat generation, to make our food calorie balanced. We cannot afford to consume empty calories like maggi and cookies. They not only add nothing to the nutritional content, but also make us gain weight by consuming sheer carbohydrates. Doing a 10 hour job sitting at just one place, this is the worst possible diet.

This is how I motivated myself to start baking my kind of bread at home. Now I feel that its so easy...a matter of just 10 mins preparation time. You can play so much with the dough you prepare. You can fill it with cheese and basil or garlic and cheese or nuts and raisins and much much more. You can also replace fatty stuff like oil with curd. It gives the same result but is far less lower in calories and cholesterol. When you see just the correct texture of the bread, it surely give you a high! Its purely magical :)

Innovation: Did you know that you can also prepare pumpkin bread, carrot bread or even banana bread :) Think about anything you like and you can mix it in your dough. keep experimenting.
