The NHS website advises that: “Diets high in ultra-processed foods have been linked to an increased risk of health conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease”. This begs the question: “Why is nearly all commercially made bread in this country ultra-processed, including that used in NHS hospitals?” It is a great shame that the government isn’t more proactive in doing something about it.
It’s for this reason that I make my own bread. Wholemeal bread is far better for us than white, there’s just one problem: I don’t like wholemeal toast! This recipe is my attempt at a compromise. A white-flour bread that also has a decent amount of fibre.
