Freshly Baked Whole Grain Bread....what more do I need to say!

You have to try this awesome whole grain bread. In my quest for eating real food for 100 days I found this bakery Great Harvest Bread Company. They have locations all over the country, a few in Southern California. I went to the location in Pasadena the other day and picked up two loaves of the best bread I have ever tasted - Dark Russian Rye and one they call Dakota (it has pumpkin seeds and other goodies in it!). They also have some other types on the menu including: Mediterranean Olive, 9 grain and Honey Whole Wheat to name a few. You can also get a bevy of freshly made sandwiches and sweet treats there too. The website says that five pure-and-simple ingredients are the hallmark of their legendary whole grain breads:
  1. Fresh-ground whole wheat flour
  2. Water
  3. Fresh yeast
  4. Salt
  5. Something sweet (usually a local honey)
They believe bread is best when you keep it simple. It's even better when you use the highest quality ingredients you can find. You can taste it and your body benefits from it.
Just like fresh-ground coffee beans make a better cup of coffee, fresh-ground grains of wheat make a better tasting - and better for you - loaf of bread.
Thanks to thier special scratch-made process, the classic breads still stay fresh for up to ten days (if you can keep your hands off it that long!).

I will be back for more of these breads. Today I had an open face hummus, spouts, and cucumber sandwich on the Dakota bread and I was in heaven! Mmmmmm......Check it out!
