Making your own bread with no or little salt.

A right load of bollocks...

Making your own bread with no or little salt.

Postby Dogs Supporter » Sun Aug 12, 2018 5:24 pm

I'm trying to cut down on salt and up until last week did not realise the massive amount of salt in the bread I eat, white bread is about 9& per slice I think, then I add butter and cheese and I'm guessing that per sandwich I'm eating 30 to 35% of my daily salt intake. I eat on average 8 slices a day with cheese, ham and or eggs. Ham has lots of slat.
Then there is hidden salt even in the uncooked chicken so I gave that up. My BP is usually about 110 over 73 at 54but I want it lower.

I was looking at bread makers but all cost a lot of money.

Anyone use a bread make and which is the easier one to use.

Bread without salt I have read bread does not rise and tastes very diffferntly - any comments please?

What ingredients do I need to make bread with little or no salt and which ingredients you recommend that are easily available.

Lidl do a decent breadmaker (although they only sell it at certain times of the year) and they also sell a range of bread mixes.

What to do if your blood pressure reading is 110/73
If you feel fine and aren't on any blood pressure medications, keep on the health path you're on.

If you're on blood pressure medications and your systolic blood pressure is often less than 110, ask your doctor about adjusting your dosages. You may be taking more blood pressure medications than you need.

What exact ingredients you use, Stooo?

Most of the ready made ingredients have salt added. The yeast, read it's a special on to raise bread faster.

I looked at the lidils one. ATM, initially I think I will bake myself and if bread is ok, then buy a bread maker.

OP inspired me and I got the breadmaker out of the loft.

I had forgotten how noisy it was, that it took 3 hours to bake a loaf and that the paddles get embedded in the bread and you have to dig them out leaving a loaf with two holes in it.

So that's why it was in the loft.

My gran used to cheat.
She'd buy an unsliced white loaf wrapped in tissue and leave it in the pantry to go a little stale.
She'd then stand it in an inch or two of water and bung it in a hot oven.
The smell of fresh baking bread and out would pop a reconstituted loaf.
I never knew as a kid she was cheating.
Her secret came out after she popped her clogs.

But you can't beat the smell of fresh bread being baked.

I am hoping to give it a go within two weeks - lots on youtube about how long you leave in the oven
and at which level. My flat has a electric oven with a fan and usually heats things evenly.
Then I'm not sure if to add oilve oil or not as well as butter as there is so much confusion on Youtube.

Was there ever a more pointless thing than a bread maker. When all you need is a tin and not even that if it's batches.

It is quicker and easier to go to the bakery or supermarket and buy it though, I forgot that.

Also it goes stale very quick.
