What's up with the Bread here?!!
OK I've tried very hard to avoid posting this here ... but I'm now nearing desperation. What on earth is wrong with the Bread here?!!
Every brand I've tried so far has either sugar or high fructose corn syrup or some sort of dried corn or malt or other form of sugar ... in addition the list of ingredients is a mile long and it tastes absolutely rubbish. Please ...pretty please .... can someone recommend a half decent brand of bread? We've moved to the LA area just three weeks ago and the morning toast is starting to make me very very homesick indeed . :( |

Welcome to the USA.
Now you have discovered the bread may I recommend you try the bacon, sausage and cheese. After which the bread isn't so bad. :lol: |

Vons and Ralphs do a reasonable fresh loaf, makes pretty good toast, especially smeared with marmite.............. I await the discussion on marmite! |
Re: What's up with the Bread here?!!
Bake your own bread. Good quality flour is available in US supermarkets. (We use King Arthur.) We buy our yeast in the local coop, because all they sell in the supermarket is the over packaged one serving sachets. Honestly, homemade bread is dead easy, ten minutes to make up the dough, stick it in the fridge for eight hours, then shape it & bake it.

Re: What's up with the Bread here?!!
You can get some really nice bread here... Just don't buy anything in the bread aisle.

Re: What's up with the Bread here?!!
Walmart bake bread daily. The French loaves (or Italian) are a good option. Only $1 but do not last long. At that price it does not really matter. We buy 4 or 5 at a time when they are fresh that day then put them in the freezer.

We wore out the bearings in our bread machine after two years. I think its a vital tool here.

I never bought any bread after I got the breadmaker, it paid for itself many times over (and it was cheap to start with). |
Re: What's up with the Bread here?!!
Knowing in advance to avoid the bread aisle will be v helpful to us so I'm glad you posted. Never used a bread machine but mentally preparing that I might need one!
So is there none of the 50/50 type bread I buy for the toddler? I don't want him to eat crap so I suspect I know the answer already. |

I must be the only one here who likes it. I get the Arnold 100% whole wheat and it's tasty.

Get one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CBK.../dp/B001C2KY7Y The included rosemary bread recipe without the rosemary gives a good plain loaf I make 12 rolls every couple of days but let the bread maker do the kneading and first rise. Recipe available on request. |

My wife has a bread maker which is great when fresh and warm but is stale within a day. Just replaced the bread maker after the old one quit. |
