9. Homemade Bread
Making bread is as easy as mixing flour, water, and yeast together. The benefits, however, are almost too numerous to list. The biggest benefit of making your own bread is that you get to control what goes into it. You can leave out the sugar, add molasses, replaced sugar with honey, change the type of flour you use, add seeds, throw in fruit, or do anything else you desire. Having control over what goes into your bread allows you to make an outstanding loaf that is low in calories and high in flavor.
