Where can I get decent (real) bread?

Search a supplier in your area or go online and have it delivered. There are so many online.

Find a local independent bakery. They do exist.

Why not make your own?

Bake your own.

Use an electric breadmaker?

We have no independent bakeries here that I can find. My internet searches have been negative, Petra. Maybe I have used the wrong keywords? What should I search for, traditional bread, real bread?
Sainsbury do a baked loaf but they have recently started adding extra gluten to make it "softer". Not only does it give me stomach ache but try and put even easy-spread butter on it and it falls apart.

Years ago, Greggs used to sell a really nice white split tin loaf. You could also buy a brown/ wholemeal loaf?
Then they changed and went the way of sausage rolls and take aways.
Waitrose used to sell ' proper bread'. I don't like sourdough loaves and the others with too crusty crusts.
I think Morrisons sell nice bread and maybe Lidl.

A Panasonic breadmaker and Carr's Strong white/wholemeal flour. You choose which type but is the most reliable in my experience. Panasonic is recognised among experienced users as being the best brand.

Here's a typical wholemeal

I'd get a blood test to find out if you are coeliac if you are having stomach problems after eating bread.

Lidl is all sourdough. These days I prefer a wholemeal (but not Hovis which tastes bitter) with a good crust.
One of my daughter's (who is totally Coeliac) saves money by making her own gluten free using a modern bread machine. I used to make my own bread by hand sometimes but frozen shoulders stopped that. She was looking for somewhere I could put a bread maker near a power socket yesterday but kitchens aren't what they used to be. I have the choice, microwave or bread, unless I keep it in the hall and use it in the living room - difficult to carry with a walking stick. She lives 40 miles away or she would make it for me.

Sorry about the misplaced apostrophe. It escaped.

I think that the only solution is to get a breadmaker and make your own so I agree with InnocentBystander.

Aely I used to buy an easy gluten free packet bread mix called Helen's but I don't know if it is still available.

Therd are packet mixes around, probably easier than making gf bread from scratch if you have no room for a bread maker.
I've never replaced mind which went to the tip after it stopped working.

M&S did a decent gf loaf.

Excuse typos!!

Apologies, you don't need gf.

Doves Farm make a no-knead bread mix which looks easy.

I'm probably heading that way, Allira, and trying not to go any further. I have the good fortune to be old enough (nearly 77) that during a fair bit of my life "real bread" was all we had, apart from Birthday parties when we would be treated to white sliced. It is only in recent years I started having problems - which disappear when I revert to the old-fashioned stuff. I must admit, I hated Wholemeal when I was young but now I prefer it, for flavour and digestive reaasons. Because of money problems, both my girls got the cheap white sliced growing up and both now have problems. It looks like my little grandson (2 years old) might be the same. He is known to be lactose intolerant which is often connected to Coeliac disease.

Thanks for the link Allira. I have it bookmarked and will check it out tomorrow. Kneading is a problem with limited shoulder mobility. Thank you everybody. I'll pop back in tomorrow. Goodnight.

I think bread making from scratch is easy and once you get in the habit you will find it to be so too.

Paul's makes good organic bread. We buy theirs occasionally:

You can make bread in an air fryer if you have one.

Lakeland do a bread maker made of silicon. I have one and it’s brilliant.

Aely have a look at the Warburtons breads, they might suit you.

I have a bread maker but also buy Sainsbury Ancient Grain loaf.

That is nice bread.

We like Warburton’s. Also they do gluten free loaves.
