It's not the chemicals in the USA flour, it's the way the wheat has been
modified to grow shorter for more efficient harvests and to be resistant to
bugs and diseases. It doesn't even resemble the wheat from Europe or
earlier USA wheat. I find that the Einkorn ancient wheat does OK, too, but
the Italian wheat is so much better, it's worth ordering it from Amazon.
Homemade bread is always better and better for you than store-bought
bread. I have to double my recipes so Tom can eat a whole loaf straight
from the oven.
