What bread does everyone eat?

[UnsureIsMyMiddleName]

It feels like my husband has purchased almost every wholemeal bread there is in the market and cannot find one he truly enjoys. For bread lovers, where buying just any bread is just not an option, what wholemeal bread do people recommend? I live near Kingston.

It’s a Morphy Richards one but I’m not sure they make it any more. Bought from Amazon and they don’t seem to have anything like it at the moment (not as cheap anyway). It’s about 35cm wide, 30cm tall and 35cm deep.

Homemade. Anything else wreaks havoc with my insides 🤢

Mix 500 g of wholemeal flour 10 g of yeast teaspoon of salt teaspoon of sugar fairly hot water till it’s all mixed together slap it in a bread tin. Wait an hour for it to rise into the oven 40 minutes 180 you don’t even have to need it it’s so easy. I always add loads of seeds. It’s delicious.

What do you mean by a bread tin!? Is that what you are cooking it in.

No knead bread, 2/3 white flour 1/3 wholemeal.

No effort whatsoever. You'll never buy another shop bought bread

Also a bread maker user - can’t go back to store bought now. 3 minutes max to measure and put away the ingredients and a lovely loaf as a result!

We are currently obsessed with ancient grains bread, which we get in Tesco.

Either buy the rolls in the bakery section, or a packet of ancient grains bread mix and make it in the bread maker.

Either that, or any seeded bread.

Only ever use white sliced these days on the rare occasions we have a full English, when fried bread HAS to be made from polystyrene ceiling tiles type bread, or if we're having (also rare) eggy bread

We buy their low GI it has rye in it. Tastes gorgeous. DH makes Irish soda bread regularly. That's another difficult to resist one.

Home made or Jackson’s.

Yes silicone one is easier it will just slip out x

A bread tin would usually mean a 2lb loaf tin.
I don't choose the silicone ones personally, I feel I can taste plastic!

If someone is that fussy they should try making their own!

Jason’s wholemeal ciabattin, I keep it in the freezer and put it into the oven to make toast. It is really difficult to find bread that isn’t ultra processed, I used to make my own but it was too good and I ate too much of it.

I love a handmade sourdough, but I don't make my own so it's a rare treat. We use a bread machine for most things, mostly for wholemeal / malted mixes. The children used to like white bread but they've come round to malted / brown / wholemeal / rye breads now. I've found lots of standard sliced sandwich type loaves leave me really bloated and uncomfortable, which isn't a problem I've ever had with the bread we make a home.

Plus, it's dead easy to make things like pizza bases, focaccia, chelsea buns... If the machine ever breaks, it'll get replaced in an instant - well worth the counter space.

I still bake bread in a metal tin because it seems to work better for bread (maybe in conducting the heat better?), but I do like using a silicone muffin tin. I used to find the same 'plasticky' issue but realised the silicone seems to retain the scent of our usual dishwasher tablets. We now have unfragranced dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid which we always use when washing silicone cookware and ice cube trays. The weird taste disappears after a bit!

looking at all these comments, I think we need to consider making our own bread

Im glad this thread has popped up again because I was looking for where I read about the poster putting the mixture just slap in the bread tin, rising in the tin and then straight in the oven. No kneading. Im going to try this.

https://www.superloaf.co.uk/ this is really nice from Waitrose

we don’t eat wholemeal but the Jason’s majestic malted is nice, tbh Jason’s or Crosta mollica pain pugliese are the only shop bought breads we have, other than that it’s homemade.

Shit white for PBJs, but homemade wholegrain for everything else...

yes, make your own, source your flour of choice, as there are no old fashioned bakers any more, everyone wants sourdough

we have a baker in our town which does not label anything, the hygiene is dire,
the price is high, the ingredients not marked, only given online which show they
use Soya flour which is a non recommeded food for cancer patients or those
who have had cancer/surgery

so we bought a Panasonic machine to save kneading and never looked back,
its wonderful

M&S seeded sourdough

I make my own.

Sainsbury’s sunflower and pumpkin brown.

Tesco finest wholemeal is good, I'm a fussy wholemeal bread person
