Here's my first loaf from  a sour dough starter that my DD started, gave some to my sister, then ours died, so she gave us some back, so here's John Doe junior the first

That's risen nicely, Snowy.

Is it white or wholemeal?

White, I've not tried a wholemeal sour dough before, but I've got a flour mix from the farmers market so I thought I might try that next.

They're healthy Aunty.  Good crunch and make great toast, and breadcrumbs should there happen to be àny gone dry

Lovely loaf  :D

Thanks CQ, I did succomb to a taste last night,hubby & I shared the crust :D,he said that's it now we won't want any of the other stuff. Not that we buy bread very often any way,but I do buy bread mixes with yeast added for a quick loaf or ciabatta,focaccia and flavoured ones. Not now methinks

I've made and eaten good bread all through my weight loss.  You just have to be sensible  :)

Iv not bought a loaf for over 3 weeks just made them as i needed them an we have noticed we havent been as bloated and we are not eating as much i think because its keeping better there is no need to eat the lot before it goes off , it might not allways look nice but itsgot good texture and flavour, but your right you can have things on the diet in moderation , todsy i made a cake because we had family for dinner and i knew it would all go.
