Bread, glorious bread. While I make this stunning, classic sandwich, the Irish Bread Bakers Association and I want to dispel some myths surrounding one of our favourite foods. Bread IS healthy. I used to think I had to cut out bread to be healthy. Wherever this came from, it's just not true. One myth is that it has no nutritional value. Eh, wrong. Bread is a wonderful source of vitamins (particularly the B ones), fibre, protein, minerals and more - it's a really good thing to have in your diet and like everything else, it's all about balance. We also think of bread as something super calorific. Did you know one slice of bread has the same amount of calories as a large apple? The only myth surrounding bread that IS true, I believe, is that sandwiches definitely do taste better when cut in triangles. Don't be coming at me with no oblongs.
