Bread isn’t the enemy….At least not real bread
The kind made with just three ingredients: flour, water and salt. That’s it.

But most of what we eat these days? That’s not bread anymore.
It’s sugar filled, full of preservatives and loaded with stuff we don’t need all to make it last longer or taste “better”

In Nigeria now the bread conversation has shifted to “which one is the sweetest”
And that’s the problem
We’re not eating bread. We’re eating cake pretending to be bread

And the damage it’s doing to our bodies goes way deeper than we think

I just miss when bread was simple and real
Struggle bread over sweet bread any day

What kind of yeast is used where you are? I imagine similar to here, but I could easily be wrong about that. We usually have two kinds, a normal rising yeast and a fast rising one. Sourdough creates its own yeast, I just mean for normal raised bread, like your pic. 😊

The bacteria plays a role too, lest we forget. Can't give all the praise to the yeast. That's how positivity becomes toxic! 🤭

Bread teaches us a lot.

Sourdough didn't get popular here (Atlantic Canada) until the covid lockdown hit. Suddenly "starters" began appearing. I took that bait in 2021 myself. 

It was fun, challenging. But maintaining it is a pain if you don't feed a huge family every day.

But I'm grateful for all I learned about the nature of bread during my self taught YT training. 

I keep the quiet parts to myself though. Llike yeast.... "ohhh is that what manna is, like in the Bible???" 🤫

Without the natural yeast, that just "is" in the air, sourdough is just cheap glue.

Yeah, same here mostly, regular and fast rising yeast. Not many people use sourdough starters though, that one’s still rare around here. And just to add, that bread pic isn’t mine, I found it online…But it looks a lot like what we get here
