Following on from the comfort food thread. Bread was a favourite for many when ill .
What's your favourite bread?
Where's the best crusty bread to be found?
I discovered lidl crusty cobs over Christmas. On a mad dash to Sainsburys extra i stopped at Lidl instead and discovered this crusty treat. My family thought it delicious too.
I'm a suckered for local bakers sourdough as well.

Losely butter is the only one we buy as it is spreadable straight from the fridge and only contains butter. Waitrose sell it.

Tesco do a lovely crusty soughdough bread and it’s sliced too. I try not to eat a lot of bread doesn’t help when your on a diet, but apparently soughdough is ok to have.

Sainsbury Sprouting grains Boule - off to have some now with soup - super crusty and tasty - could eat it all day especially with cheese!!

My homemade seeded soda bread spread with locally made Irish butter. Yum.

Any bread right now. I’ve given it up for Lent.

I like Lidl's cheesy topped bakery rolls too, and their bakery sourdough seeded loaf. It has to be Lurpak generously spread on. I have wondered how often Lidl clean their tongs to lift the rolls with, and the plastic containers they display the bread in.
I'm also a fan of Paul Rankin's soda bread and fruit bread.

Lidl’s fig and walnut brown bread. Absolutely delicious

Have to agree Sainsbury's multi seed bread is my favourite.When I buy it I divide the small loaf ,have it sliced and then I divide it up into 2 slices and put rest in freezer ! When I'm tempted ( try to lose some weight on doctors advice) I just take out a packet ,and just leave it for about 30minutes ,and it still as good as when it's fresh from bakery.Husband doesn't care for "healthy bread" so it's my guilty treat !!

Unfortunately the best bread is only available in Turkey, from local bakers, freshly cooked all day and costing a few pennies. Nowadays I settle for Tesco Corn bread.

ooops, forgot to add that I make my own bread normally with Sainsbury's organic flours - then you know what is in it. Fab straight from the oven with lashings of butter ......,....

white bread is perhaps tasty, but heavily processed. The white flour is bleached and then they add chemicals. They take away the bran from the flour and give this good stuff as feed to the animals, and leave us with the dross. I buy Sainsbury's brown organic. Very yummy and good for you! no bleach, no chemicals, and organic brown wholemeal flour to boot!

I love M&S’s whole meal with rye - a lovely nutty flavour

The only thing I ever buy in Morrisons - which is our nearest big shop is their bread. I normally use Sainsburys or Waitrose for normal shop but their bread is not as good.
In winter I make my own though which is nicer still!

Tesco Oat and Barley loaf, hit with everyone!!

Tiger bread is my guilty pleasure.

My local baker has wonderful flavoured bread. Think I would recognise it blindfold. I once queried the flour used and was told it was French. Have to confess I always enjoy all the types of bread I try in France and always take the opportunity to bag a baguette when I'm in the 'big city'

Niobe. I too have had that Mothers Pride bread when staying with friend in Scotland.. I was there last week end and she told me it would be the last time I would be eating it as it was being discontinued (or Mother’s Pride closing). I like some of the Polish bread, it has more substance to it. Ordinary supermarket bread doesn’t agree with me these days. Just as well I am low carbing and have cut out bread...for the most part...friend had got the mother’s pride one in specially for me!

I loved Lidl till I saw a woman sneeze over the rolls and another's child touching the cakes, not for me now thanks! But I do like a crusty bloomer.

I talking uncut loaves here.

After my move 3-4 years ago I have struggled to find a bread that I really enjoy, so I am at a loss for bread but butter there is no doubt (in our house) it has to be Kerrygold.

Blinko Fri 16-Feb-18 11:02:56

My favourite everyday bread has to be Kingsmill wholemeal. Trouble is, if I buy it, I eat it too moreish.

Eccleshall has its own bakery. Dave is wonderful and sells delicious brownie.

The most delicious and nutritious bread I know is also gluten free and organic. It is made at an artisan bakery in Bristol called Mark's Bakery - I think you can order it and he will post it to you. It doesn't go stale as quickly as ordinary white supermarket bread and is entirely different - it is real food! It freezes well, and I take out a slice at a time and toast it. It is of course multi grain and it keeps you going for a long time.You could find Mark's Bakery or Mark's Bread on line. www.marksbread.co.uk When you eat it, it actually feels healthy as you munch!

BBbevan, my Tesco Extra has Polish bread maybe yours will too.
