I'm kind of hooked on Ezekiel bread right now; I'm not convinced it has any magical digestive powers, and for the most part I sit there asking myself why I like it so much, considering the acquired taste and the sheer amount of jaw effort required to consume it.

I'm also an Ezekiel bread fan. It turns out that Ezekiel actually makes the cut regarding the recommended 5:1 (or less) carbohydrate: fiber ratio for packaged foods.

Increased fiber intake is not only good for digestion, but it's also associated with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, Type 2 Diabetes, certain cancers, etc.:

I just choked down a piece of wheat bread with peanut butter. I'm very disappointed that it is not softer, given that it is Sara Lee. My bread must be soft, whether it's wheat or white!

too bland for me. much prefer hearty bread with a flavor to it

When I was in grade school, my class had a field trip to the Wonder Bread factory! What a smell! We even each got a miniature loaf of Wonder Bread.

My Dr. does insist, that I limit my intake of any food that has "enriched white flour" as the first ingredient. . . .

Have NEVER been able to eat wheat bread . To me it tastes like cardboard. Give me white or , better, French bread, on those rare occasions when I actually eat bread.

We had a Silvercup Bread bakery near my house and they used to give us those miniature loaves on Halloween, it's a fond memory.

While with a meal I like something like a good baguette or ciabatta, IMO nothing beats pulling off small pieces of fresh Wonder Bread or something similar to use in crab cakes rather than bread/cracker crumbs.

I only buy freshly baked white, the kind you get from the bakery. I don't like over processed and preservative "enhanced" shelf bread.

Beats the daylights out of me, but all I know is I've made countless baguettes with just salt, yeast, flour, and water.

When I make a regular loaf of bread, I might put a teaspoon of sugar or honey in it, and sometimes some milk. The last time though, I used this recipe:

and added a couple tablespoons of powdered buttermilk to it, and I thought it tasted delicious.

It's strange (or I am strange) but I've lived in MA all my life with a hiatus in CT for college but never ate a sandwich made of Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter. In the mid 1950s it was all PB&J at my house--on Wonderbread. White bread. (It could be an eastern part of the state vs the western part of the state?)
