I've just tried the M&S rye sourdough and it's amazing. I make my own bread but not sourdough. This loaf was £3 something but it's worth every penny.

If I've not baked then I use Hovis soft white for most things. It's excellent for wotsit butties when the need arises. Or should that be knead rises? Warburtons sandwich rolls for burgers but otherwise I find their bread too plasticky and the crusts go really hard quickly. I've not yet mastered the bread roll or slicing homemade for sandwiches. I'm only able to cut huge slices. I'm partial to a poppy seed anything and an enriched dough cinnamon swirl is a thing of delight (not the pastry ones). Poppy seed or sourdough bagels with Mexicans cheese and mayonnaise are lunch time bliss. Garlic bread. Hot buttered toast and a cup of tea on a cold day. Toasted tea cakes. I'd choose bread over cake but I don't think there's a carb I don't love.

Come share the love of bread in all its glory.

Sorry low carbers, this bread thread might upset you or cause you to point out the error of my ways.

Home made sourdough. Not good for my waist so have to pace myself.

I'm fasting today and this bread thread is fucking my life up.

Like a previous poster, I've never met a bread I didn't like, except brioche used for burger buns. Brioche is lovely but not for burgers.

Tiger bread loaf from iceland.
Cheese and marmite bread from the village bakery.
For everything else my friends husband is a baker and his bread is amazing!

Bloody love bread

I'm pretty much off bread atm but I LOVE warburtons multigrain. It makes the best Brie and chilli jam croque madame. I also love my own homemade bread of every type. And McCambridge soda bread is better than even my gran's soda bread.

I was on a cruise last week and looking forward to some delicious bread and butter but it was all very spongy and basic. 😕

Local boulangerie do a cheese and ham croissant, that's perfect. Béchamel sauce with cheese around a slice of boiled ham, and a stripe of baked cheese on the top. Lovely.

Bagels from Rosslyn Hill Deli. Sooo perfectly chewy and soft
Rosemary focaccia from Gloria restaurant in Shoreditch

Gails (I hilariously call it Greggs) waste sourdough. It’s nearly £5 and we get through several loafs a week. I’ve tried and failed to make sourdough myself and this thread’s spurred me on to try again…

I love bread. Some say that a healthy diet means eating only foods your grandmother might have eaten. My grandmother's diet was almost entirely white bread with butter and jam or white bread with butter and cheese, with home made cakes and scones for variety. I can live with that.

Gran wouldn't have liked my current favourite, olive bread (Co-op probably does the best supermarket version) and her false teeth might have struggled with a good sourdough crust or tiger baguette, but I think she'd have approved of toasted crumpets.

The fresh bread selection is the highlight of hotel breakfast buffets for me.

When I stay with my son in New York, I have a sliced loaf of Potato Bread. It’s really delicious and I’ve never been able to find it in the uk. I could easily live on it for the whole week I’m there.

We had the most amazing baguettes in France, nothing like the supermarket versions here. Six years later and we still talk about them longingly!

Turkish ekmek 👍 lovely stuff.

There's a French bakery on Northcote Rd that does the best, huge, choc chip broiche. At least it did a few years ago!

I also love choc chip Viennoiserie bread from any Boulanger in France.

Any freshly baked cob with butter on.

I love bread and have it everyday :) except sourdough, urrggh. Or anything with olives in!

I love either baguette or white farmhouse, cut thick with butter. I'm also very partial to a crumpet with butter and honey, or a toasted teacake.

Our local CoOp does a 3 cheese sourdough loaf. OMG it is sublime!! When you toast it the cheese melts a bit ❤️ I snap it up when it’s reduced to about 30p. Sorry too tight to pay £3 for a loaf. It goes in the freezer and constantly calls to me till it’s all gone ❤️

FIL does an amazing sourdough. Eaten warm its practically cake like.

M&S do a cheese loaf which is delightful.

Hands down the best bread ever is from a Turkish shop. It has feta baked through it. I have to travel to get this bread but my God its worth it.

Don't like convenience loaves at all.

I'm not fat from bread (I am more of a pasta and potato carb fiend)

I'm low rent, Warburton's Toastie , untoasted with real butter.

Ciabatta rolls and genuine NY bagels.

Salt and pepper bloomer!

Co-op cheddar and jalepeno fresh baked loaf. Sliced thick and made into cheese on toast with Mexicana cheese.

During Covid a neighbours 20 something daughter moved back home and got a bit carried away with making sourdough to the extent she was pretty much forcing it on us all. It was amazing. Now when she comes home for the odd weekend we all look wistfully towards her parents house in the hope she embarks on another baking spree

OMG!!!

I love bread! The most amazing bread thing I’ve ever had was at the Boudin bakery in San Francisco - sourdough loaf filled with chowder!

A really fresh baguette

I’m a very long term low-carber...and yet...bread is one of my most favourite things!

My most favourite bread is DH’s ciabatta. Perfect every time and I can eat absolutely loads of it if I let myself. My own rye bread with caraway seed is also pretty good. We buy a sliced loaf for DH’s sandwiches and once in a great while we get fresh croissants. Otherwise we bake our own. I tried keeping a sourdough starter for a while but it was a bit of a faff and I gave it up in the end. Might try again though. Our homemade hot cross buns are epically good (DH takes more of the credit for that one). I like baking traditional Scandinavian breads, pastries and buns. We do a pretty good pizza as well but there are limits since we don’t have a pizza oven. That’s the one thing I wish we could buy in, but there aren’t good pizza places here. 😭😭
