    We eat Josephs Lavash and Pita bread here. 100 calories per huge lavash and 60 calories per pita.

    Dave's Killer Organic Bread! Sprouted wheat is the best (imo), it's made from ground up green wheat sprouts instead of the usual flour and water mixture. The moisture is all from the wheat sprouts, extremely tender and full of all kinds of good organic seeds! I saw how they make it at their factory, they give little tours.

    Since I am on a diet (losing weight) though we have been buying Dave's Killer 70 Calorie slice Good Seed variety. I live less than 2 miles from their factory in Milwaukie, Oregon so I just go there once a week and buy a loaf directly from them for $2.50 a loaf. It's also right down the street from Bob's Red Mill where I buy all my oats, wheats and flours for home made stuff!

    So I suggest Organic Dave's Killer Bread or Bob's Red MIll if you are making your own. Both are amazing in quality, freshness and flavors!
  • Fiber one bread. 100 calories for TWO slices...just saying. Or squirrelly bread. Its organic/vegan and its super tastey

    Anything that is NOT white.

    I also look at all the additives on the back of the package... if I can't pronouce it and there are more then 5 ingredients, I put it back. I generally try to go to a bakery and get fresh whole wheat or multigrain bread.

    ^ This. I stopped buying bromated flour bread. Not to mention all the mold inhibitors, and softening agents and HFCS. Yuck. I buy either zingerman's or the Kroger artisan breads--which both have 5 or less ingredients.

    Flour
    Yeast
    Water
    Salt

    What's the fifth ingredient?

    For "around the house" bread, we use Nature's Own Whole Wheat. It's decent-tasting sliced bread for sandwiches and only 50 calories a slice.

    Lately I've been thinking of making my own bread, just to see if I can*.

    *I mean specifically me... I've never been good at cooking with doughs that need to rise - for some reason they never rise and the item turns out way too dense. I probably kill the yeast or something.

    Sounds like your dough may be too dry and the gluten can't get flexible enough to rise properly. Check out recipes from Richard Bertinet (and also his gentle technique of kneading)

    There is a lot of info on the web about bread making. Just be warned - once you start making decent bread you'll struggle to eat shop bought again!!!

    I love a good Bauernbrot, which can be difficult to find here, so I settle for any chewy rye I can get.
    Here lately, I've been getting lucky at Aldi and finding the Deutsche Küche fitness breads... the really dense breads in the small rectangular package.

    I eat Flat Out flat breads like they're going out of style.

    I live for these! Now I always am sure to meet my daily fiber goal :)

    I eat all of it. I just had some buttermilk biscuits. I make delicious yeast rolls from time to time. Rising crust pizza. French bread. Garlic bread.... I love garlic bread! Corn bread.... ain't nothing wrong with that. Sometimes oat nut or rye, sometimes plain white bread if I'm broke and none of the fancier ones are on sale.
