I just ate a pound of bread
Here's how to make one yourself:
- mix 1 1/4 cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of yeast, let rest for 15 minutes
- mix in 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 cup of oil (olive/canola)
- mix in 4 cups of white floor, knead for 5minutes, let rest in a bowl for 30minutes covered by a slightly moist sheet
- knead a bit, let rest for 45 minutes again in bowl covered by slightly moist sheet
- knead a bit again and put in an oven capable container that is very lightly oiled/buttered, bake at 350F for ~45 minutes
I suggest you try to go hungry before so you're able to swallow as much as possible since the experience of consuming freshly baked bread is really quite pleasant. It goes really super well with any kind of spread, meat/beans/veggies, and it's also good with butter/margarine but those can make feel a little sick if(when) eating too much at once.
Find happiness through the pleasure of eating!
edit: that makes for about 2pounds (or 1kg) of bread, with roughly 3/4 calories of store bought bread per weight
