And, we use a bread baker. And tremendously cut down on the use of bread as it makes us feel ill. I'm amazed how LONG the bread "stays" in the bread bin. Weeks! When we got back I opened the bread bin and there it was, yikes I thought what will it look like?! It was exactly the same; white, no mould or anything!! I ventured a tiny taste and to my amazement it tasted absolutely fine (well apart from the fact it was crap to start with!) :unsure: This was left in an un air-conditioned apartment in Houston!! |

I am an idiot I suppose but I buy one loaf of Daves killer breadhttp://www.daveskillerbread.com/#first-slide bread each week at $5.00 per loaf. Love the power seed formula with 6 grams of fiber per slice.

You can make bread in the slow cooker (crockpot) too. No need for an extra breadmaker.

Re: What's up with the Bread here?!!
I found one loaf at Trader Joes that has no sugar, honey or corn syrup. Can't remember the name, it looks like half a loaf and is called french country bread or something. Will take a picture next time I go.
TJ's (and many other places) now have Dubliner and Kerrygold butter. Both lovely. Ralphs here in LA sells Black Bomber (sometimes) and a few other strong English cheddar brands. Gelsons also has some good imported stuff. Good cheese is usually found in a separate display to all the flavourless domestic stuff. |

Please ...pretty please .... can someone recommend a half decent brand of bread?
There are more options for buns/rolls that are savory, and Walmart also does good ones of those too. "Normal" bread here is just ridiculously sweet and inedible. |

Toto I've got a feeling we're not in Britain anymore. |

Here lies the answer -- don't buy a branded, pre-packaged bread from the bread aisle. Most supermarkets (round here, anyway) have a bakery section quite distinct from the bread aisle and its sawdust concoctions. In the bakery area you'll find all kinds of different breads -- and some are really good. I love a nice olive oil or roast garlic ciabatta.
Local bakery, is fantastic, but loaves there are $6-8...which with a couple of young kids, eating 2-3 loaves a week, isn't really feasible. The own brand that Wegmans have, isn't entirely bad either and it's a couple bucks so a bit more reasonable. Trader Joe's, does a decent, cheap loaf. |

For folks in the Boston area, there's a Brit cheese shop that imports it. My local cheese shop in town also gets it now and again. It's eye wateringly expensive at about $20 a pound though. |

IME the semi-premium ($4-$6) loafs are often no better (not less sweet) than the more basic loaves, so it's all about checking the ingredients no matter what loaf you buy. |
