13. I used to proof the yeast in sugar and warm water

Tuesday

I had been trying to reduce my blood sugar and things I tried didn't work. I got angry with the numbers and dropped all added sugar out of my diet. I did well for a year and a half, lost almost 50 lbs. then slowly started adding things back, including weight
If I bake rolls, I use the maximum of sugar, butter and milk instead of water. King's Hawaiian has nothing on me!

The bread I bake has a nice texture without the sugar. I don't want to use the organic flour for bread again, but I might make quick bread with it.

Thank you!
