unpopular bread vs popular bread

I bake bread once a week, less or more.

I am not trying to be a super mom, it is my selfish reason.

Only because, I just LOVE fresh baked bread.

They are my babies ...

If there is a person who visit right after my bread came out from the oven,
I would force them to eat, even though they just had their lunch.


I would say
"Isn't it yummy? " (means, "Say delicious.")


They have to say
"Oh yeah, this is delicious!"


I would say,
"Oh I know !"


There is nothing like
" Oh, not too bad." nor " It could be better."

"It's delicious."

Its came from my mother.


When I was living in Japan, my mom would often ask me 
to buy a bread from a bakery.
She would specify the time to go to the bakery 
to buy a bread for dinner for her guest.

"You have to go there 6:15pm !  

If you go too early, they will only sell you 

the old bread from the afternoon.  

If you go too late, the bread will be too cold."

Once, I was too busy to go to the specific time to just get a loaf of bread.


I did not listen to my mom and I just went to the store when it was convenient for me.

My mom was so disappointed.

She said,
" I can not serve this kind of old bread to my guest!"


Well, I thought,
" This is only from this morning, and they are 
only your friends who you would meet every week, 
and talk on the phone everyday.. 
They are not like a president..."

My mom had a passion for her food, 

so the bread that was baked in the morning was 

not fresh enough.  

It has to be the one that 

just came out from the oven.

SO, I went to the bakery on the SPECIFIC TIME.




Oh boy, 
the bakery filled up with the smell of 
fresh baked bread just made me wanted 
to hug the nice warm bread, put the nose 
right against the bread and deep breath !!




Now I bake bread every week.




But I have a dilemma.


I do my best to reduce the amount of gluten intake.
We don't dislike gluten nor allergic to the gluten, but it is just
easier for our body without too much gluten.


But I have never had a success by baking no-gluten bread.


It's hard, it's dry, it does not taste good, and kids don't eat.


It's become like a dog biscuit....


When I use wheat flour, 
it's fluffy, it's moist, it's so yummy and just want to put my cheek against it.

Oh, yum...  as soft as my children's cheek.

Which should I bake?

Healthier bread but no one eats.

Unhealthier bread but everyone eats.
