Which kind of bread do you buy?

[BlackSpecs]

Ever since I moved to Paris I have been spoiled ....

Fresh is best !

 

[butterfly child]

Hovis "Seed Sensations - Rich & Roasted"

I likes the sunflower seeds in it..

 

[WouldBe]

Morrisons Malted Grain.

It's a bit hit and miss when they have it in so I've got 3 loaves in the frezer.

 

[Choc]

i can not bear having no bread in the house.... i think it's my main food source. terrible isn't it?

at least i eat wholesome bread.

either wheat free pumpernickl

or mainly either demeter rye or demeter rye and spelt bread. the last one being my current favourite.


in the toast range i would go for dr vogel but prefer "heavier/fuller" bread really.

 

[Orang Utan]

You people must snack a lot!
So much bread!

 

[Hellsbells]

i made some chocolate and orange bread at the weekend. Everyone thought i was mad and abnormal and refused to even taste it But it was really nice. So that'll be an entire loaf of chocolate and orange bread just for me then

 

[Nixon]

get that warburtons seeded one in the purple packet but it costs like £1.47 or summet so I can't eat as much bread as usual. Which is a good thing really.

this stuff

 

[Funky_monks]

I buy supermarket own brand white unsliced. I hate bread-fascists dictating the thickness of my butty.

Or, I make my own.

 

[strung out]

i've got well into bread recently. where i work they do all sorts, all organic ranging from spelt, to rye, to walnut, to sourdough etc etc. generally like the multigrain best but to be honest as long as its good quality stuff, i'll eat anything as its all lovely

 

[zoooo]

Yep, me three!
That is a nice one.

I can't eat it all the time though. Sometimes I just want white bread.

 

[chainsaw cat]

Asda fresh for a week shite. I don't mind it. If I had much of a choice I'd normally get wholemeal, but I live with a guy who eats nothing but baked beans and fry-ups, so wholemeal wouldn't go down too well.

Doesn't that raise certain technical issues?

i had a g/f who had two main physical pleasures - vegetable vindaloo and buttockular intrusion by my Old Chap.

(I use circumlocatory language due to restrictions on this computer which I don't understand but am scared of.)


Without too much detail, these urges of hers were mutually incompatible.

Unless I wore full protective gear, including my Army gas mask, which she also seemed quite keen on.

Sorry for the derail


I vote for Allinson wholemeal, I hear Mr A was a pretty nice guy to work for and the bread is nice. Can't face marmite for obvious reasons.

Most often? Some sort of "specialty" bread.

But we go through supermarket own, plastic white, home-made... Just about everything except proper bakery because there isn't one around here. (Though Morrison's does a much better job than Sainsbury's or Tesco)

 

[Vintage Paw]

Supermarket own brand long life wholewheat medium sliced, Tesco or Sainsbury's.

 

[zenie]

Usually make my own, but if I buy it I get whatever's cheapest, prefereably granary/multigrain.

 

[dodgepot]

co-op own brand.

 

[Poi E]

My girlfriend mostly makes ours. I am one of the luckiest men alive!

 

[christonabike]

Make me own or Old Post Office stuff made down Landor Road, Brixton

 

[chegrimandi]

turkish pide bread is so good and only 50p a 'loaf'

shame its stale after one day but that stuff is dangerously delicious.

Morrisons is definitely the best, bakery wise. Tesco's Finest is OK but the rest of it is pretty rank. Asda is crap as well.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

whatever has just been reduced
freeze half and use the open half on day of purchase/day after

but hang on, aren't you not supposed to freeze bread; the yeast goes wild when it thaws and it makes you all, erm, yeasty. I'm sure i read that somewhere reliable....

 

[Delia]

Vogels is my favourite bread. I love it- especially toasted. The one I buy is the 'original mixed grain'.

 

[Geri]

I've never heard that before.

 

[Crispy]

just plain old brown
although sparrow insists on getting poncy loaves with seeds on that are too fat for the toaster

My freezer has a label inside that says you can keep bread frozen for 6-12 months.


The yeast will be killed off when the bread is baked so can't do anything after that point.

 

[hiccup]

Loaf of thick sliced hovis best of both for toast and toasties.

Baguettes or posh rolls at the weekend for bacon sandwiches and the like.

 

[Poi E]

Buy Polish bread when the home made stuff runs out. Nice and natural. Doesn't last for a week like the freakish mainstream stuff.

 

[Idaho]

Always 100% Rye for me. Home made wholemeal/rye/spelt/white blends for the rest of the Idahos.

 

[tarannau]

Some kind of Warburtons seeded loaf or similar during the week, often with some of the excellent breads from the Portuguese delis at the w/e. They do some fantastic, large white baps and great stew dunking bread for example.

 

[sonik]

Wholemeal Pitta
Warburtons sometimes
Vogels at the weekend.

 

[Ms T]

I don't these days because I have a breadmaker. But I usually have part-bake ciabatta or french sticks for emergencies.
