    Harrys wholewheat or I just drop by a French bakery at the corner of my street and buy baguette a l'ancien (yummy!). Wraps work for me too - I know, I know, not bread. Having said that, I seriously limited my intake of bread (didn't wipe it out but indeed limited) in order to make my weight loss work.

    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.

    I opt for Rye bread which is rich in fibre and has a great shelf life. I am trying to limit my carbs and dont tend to eat bread everyday so Rye gives me what i need.

    for sandwiches and such I like the Sandwich thins buns...110 calories for the whole wheat ones, and they taste good. For toast I prefer a heartier bread, and don't pay any attention to calories if I'm only having one slice. If I'm feeling rich I'll buy some from the local bread bakery....everything they make is delish.

    Sara Lee 45 Calories per slice. It is decent and I feel like I get a whole sandwich w/o the calories. :)

    I love this to! It was the first 100% multigrain that I actually enjoyed eating. I had wheat bread ruined for me as a kid, and I really, really can't bake my own, but this stuff tastes great to me. My kids like it too, and DH hasn't complained yet, so finally I have found a bread we can all eat.

    I do like the Fold Its too, but ever since I noticed how much sodium was in them I've been cutting back on my wraps.

    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!

    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.
