I've been trying to limit my intake of "seed" oils, particularly canola, palm, safflower, soy, cotton, and corn (along with HFCS). I'm pretty much am always "in shape", but I have effortlessly gotten leaner and my joints feel better...YMMV.

Anyhow, most items are pretty easy to find, but bread and especially hamburger / hot dog buns are pretty much impossible. I'm not looking for "organic" poison, I just want some darn bread without them altogether.

OUTSIDE of making them, does anyone have a source? (I'm in Las Vegas, NV fwiw).

Thanks.

You are not alone. Check out this video of this Doctor trying to find breads without seed oils and low/no sugar added. He partially succeeds at the freezer case.

You pretty much have to bake it yourself.

Organic Sour dough breads usually have no seed oils in them.

Hmm, thanks. I'm not sure how I feel about eating a burger on sourdough bread. I make patty melts with Dave's rye brea, so not too crazy I guess.

ETA: Wrong quote.

Apparently there are plenty of Rabbis who will bless "vegetable" oil, because that's what everyone uses, at least that I've found.

Honestly it's worth the one-time investment of effort, to learn how to bake a basic bread (form it into a loaf for sandwich bread, make burger buns with it, etc). I haven't bought bread at the store in years. A bog standard white bread takes me all of ~3 hours (max) start to finish, and most of that is just waiting for it to proof and bake. The active time on it with me in the kitchen (including cleanup), might be all of 20 minutes. Generously.

Once you learn how to do it and control all of the variables (and were mindful enough to write it all down), it's basically paint-by-numbers after that - especially if you own a stand mixer. I'm on autopilot when I bake a loaf, or make burger buns.

It's only "work", and it only feels like "effort", when you're learning how to do it for the first few times. After that, you're on cruise control. Worth thinking about, anyway.

Beyond that, best I can suggest is to just find an actual bakery. A good one near me charges about $7/loaf for a regular sandwich or sourdough loaf. I might have ~$1.50 worth of ingredients in mine. It's not really worth calculating it out.

Yeah, you're right. I need to just suck it up and learn how to bake bread. My wife actually used our bread maker that she wanted....once. Guess it's time to break it back out.

Care to share your recipe/technique?  I know you've posted a lot of cooking stuff over the years, so maybe you already have.  

I'd love to know how to turn simple ingredients into a nice loaf of bread.  Especially if it doesn't take all weekend like the sourdough video I just watched on youtube

It does sound weird, but there's a burger place back home that serves a burger on sourdough bread, and it's pretty good.

I learned that when I started making tortillas. Fresh made ones will be stale/moldy within a couple of days, where the packaged ones from the supermarket will last weeks. It does make you think about what the crap they include to make them last that long might be doing to your body.

Make bread with an oil in it but not vegetable oil.  

LARD!

Focaccia uses olive oil. I have the recipe for buns we use at the restaurant if you want it.

I believe Dave’s Power Seed bread is what you seek

DavesKillerBread

Doesn’t have seed oils but, at least the first option I pulled up, does have sunflower SEEDS. Not sure if that matters or not. They have different varieties with varying ingredients though.

It's extremely consistent and repeatable in my kitchen, which is why I do it that way.

But if you really want, I can post it up. I'm in the middle of making dinner right now, but I can toss it up later. It's nothing super special.

Don’t go to a bunch of trouble for me. I’m happy to spend some time at youtube university. I have a loaf pan, plenty of mixing bowls, and I’m not afraid to get my hands covered in dough.

I heard a quote somewhere:

8 buns, and a loaf. This was about $3 worth of ingredients, and a Saturday morning.

Bread Flour, water, milk, egg (buns only), sugar, butter, salt, yeast. Nothing weird. Could have been slightly cheaper still, but I'm really partial to King Arthur flours. Could even eliminate the sugar.

Those look awesome. The wife and I have been discussing this very thing.

Bread was never made with that toxic garbage until industrialization of everything.

Look up a real bread recipe, an old bread recipe.
Also the grains / flour was probably soured or soaked in raw milk (because there was not yet pasteurization) which would have made the grain easier to consume, broke down plant toxins.

I've made this soft no-knead sandwich bread before and it's really easy.  You can sub olive oil for butter if you prefer.  I've made it both ways and prefer butter.

I'll bring the booze and burger meat if you bake!

Seriously though, those look really good.

Cool, thanks. That reminds me of a bread my grandma would make in a dutch oven. The process and ingredients were the same from what I remember, but she was a real stickler about the flour. All I remember is that it was from Italy.
