The quest for the perfect bread: 

I haven't found the ultimate bread for me,  even at Whole Foods, and other health food stores, that addresses all issues such as gluten, grains, healthy oils, and most importantly, taste. The closest I have run across are products from a company called Sami's bakery. However, they do not ship to where I live   Their breads are delicious, and great ingredients, such as their millet and flax bread containing: Organic Millet Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Water, Aluminum Free Baking Powder, Sea Salt, Organic Grounded Flax Seed, Cultured Brown Rice Flour, Ascorbic acid.

In the end, bread is an occasional thing for me, but I realize eventually I am going to have to make my own bread, I've already got a pizza and bread oven planned for my Tropical outdoor dream kitchen, in the mean time other bloggers I follow are getting started with creating their own breads, so I am waiting for something to be perfected by them, so I can use their recipes. I know everyone doesn't take the details as seriously as I do, and that's cool, were are at different points in our journey to optimum health,  but I  like to take control of the ingredients that are in my food. Allows for a longer life to enjoy this stuff.
