wheat bread

You just have to read the labels to see what brands have which ingredients I suspect that most mass produced bread has some type of sugar. Corn syrup apparently is the least expensive form and that is what is used in food products. We have a local "artisan" bakery that advertised that they don't use any sugar in their breads. Bread is very easy to make, especially if you have a food processor or stand mixer. If you make it yourself, you know what's in it. You can make dough in a food processor in about two minutes. You can stage the rest of the process to conform to your schedule.

High fructose corn syrup is used to substitute for normal cane sugar in commercial bread formulaiion. A normal HFCS has approximately the same sweetness as sucrose and will confer the same quantity of fermentable sugars needed in the dough therefore will come out the same quality as the one using normal cane sugar. It is used at around 5-8% based on flour weight. If you live in the states you need to buy crusty breads as many of them have basic composition ;just flour, salt, yeast and water. There are many brands of lean breads ..... To be sure read the ingredient composition of the bread as shown in the label. Of just find a neighboring bakery ask them for crusty breads as those particular goods are usually made with lean formulation. Roy
