What would make bread not mold like it always has?

Ever more preservatives. When my sister lived in Hawaii 40 years ago the bread had to go from the bag to the refrigerator or it would be green all the way through 2 days later.
I think most "name brand" bread is chock full of preservatives. Locally made bread probably doesn't have any. I've had bread start to mold in < a week.

I wonder if DD1's gluten free bread could be made in a machine. She makes the flour mix herself because she can't do nightshades either and often potato starch is the "gluten replacement" in gluten free flours.

I especially hate when it's my coffee!

You can't even drink that with a straw.

I'm sure you can find many recipes online for a bread machine. I have found a bunch of recipes. And most people don't mind sharing their recipes.
If you dont find many look on pinterest. They have tons of recipes!

We have Flowers bakery here and they make all the bread for the local stores.
I bought some of their bread in their store and it's the same. I dont want to eat it.

That's wonderful that you can make it with your hands.

I can't my hands are to weak.
Have been since I was in my mid 30's. I can't open a bottle of water. And sometimes i can't hold my coffee. Other times I'll pick something up and it will go flying across the room. I especially hate when it's my coffee! It takes me an hour to clean it up!

My hands are awful with arthritis that is the why of my large wood fork to start it does 95% of the kneading and I can hold onto it

That's great.

I have trouble holding much of anything. Parkinsons runs in my family. I kind of wonder if my hands are giving me a clue of what's to come. I have not been tested or asked any dr. About it.
I guess it would not make a diffrence if I did know.
My oldest daughter has the same problems with her hands.
She has sent more than one cup of coffee flying!

My older sister always made bread from scratch. She would spend a whole day making the dough and freezing it so she could pop a loaf in to have fresh bread when ever she ran out. She had to buy a mixer to do the kneading for her now. But she still makes her own bread. She has RA. My joints and my fingers are to tight to do do it. I tried it took me 6 hours. And That was the one and only time I tried. I had Dh buy me a bread machine. lol I don't care it's still home made bread. lol

View attachment 1432011 View attachment 1432012View attachment 1432014 A pair of my green/gold x severums with eggs (those pearly things on the terra cotta turtle).. Just found them when I went to feed a little while ago.. They will lay over 300 eggs.. Pls excuse the mess, I just threw food in there when I saw the eggs.. Tho severums can reach 10-11 inches in growth the free swimming fry will hatch at the size of a pin head.. I then will use a fine mesh net to net them and separate them from the rest.. This particular pair are good parents and will protect their young, but I have other fish in the tank that run the danger of harm and even death, these guys will kill for their babies..
Edit: Pls also excuse the glare, I like daylight and have all the curtains open, thus all the reflections..

Awesome pix....

The house is rattling because some of those Big Ole Marine Helicopters are going over head. Miramar Naval Air station became Miramar Marine air station... a few years back....

Miramar was where they did the Top gun training.... back in the day...
