This is a great time to start firing up the oven and making your own bread from stratch. Making your own bread is fun and will save you money. Bread baking at home is also a great way to add more whole grains to your diet and skip all the unneccessary junk that's added to most commerical store bought bread to make it mold resistant and last a long time. The basic bread ingredients consist of flour, water and yeast. These 3 ingredients are mixed and kneaded together by hand or machine to form a gluten rich dough. Gluten is a special type of protein that is naturally found in grains such as rye, wheat and barley. One of my favorite books on this subject is Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes
