Ocado's multi-grain baguette from their 'flash sales' was pretty good would buy again!

Ocado just delivered and am tucking into Leksands original Swedish rye crispbread 200g with Clive's organic classic houmous 200g from Buckfast Organic Bakery www.clivespies.co.uk

Crunchy crispbread and garlicky houmous and as long as I don't really pig, not too carby.

The bread I like for most sandwiches is Sainsburys Taste The Difference Multi-seeded - love, love, love it! Turkey sasndwiches, however, have got to be made with thinly sliced white bread.

To go with a Ploughman's, it's usually soda bread - toasted or not - or HM parmesan & tomato.

Tried Paul Hollywood's cherry & chocolate white cob the other day & that was nice. Not as sweet as I thought it might have been so was pleasantly surprised - nice toasted.

That's sainsburys one, is that the TTD one, if so yes it's lovely.

Greggs bread is really nice.

I loved waitrose walnut & fig, but they stopped doing it.

Waitrose bread is best, morrisons second I think. Morrisons do a good walnut bread too.

yes, I'd forgotten about the walnut & fig - that was delicious. I quite like Morrison's fruit loaf (uncut) it's not too sweet although there isn't a huge amount of fruit in it, it's another one that's nice toasted.

My mum loves Paul Rankin's barm brack (again toasted ) & Waitrose seems to be the only place I can find it now.

Another vote here for Daylesford fruit bread - expensive but keeps well and lasts a week if we can stop ourselves eating it.

I prefer homemade bread as I can customise it according to what I am in the mood for whether it is a plain white/wholemeal/granary loaf or it may have sundried tomatoes & parmesan in it, it it could be cheddar & ale, it may be a fruit loaf. What it becomes all depends on what I fancy each day.
Sometimes I will make rolls other times it will be a freeform loaf or I may bake it in a Romertopf or if I want something that fits properly in a toaster or sandwich maker I will bake it in a lidded pullman pan.

I will occassionally buy a loaf from a bakery or one of the market stalls selling bread but I tend to avoid all pre-sliced loaves from shops & mass produced part baked then finished off instore type loaves as I don't like the taste or texture & they tend to stick to the roof of my mouth.

frugal_shopper is the bread recipe in the Romertopf book or one of yours ?That's a great idea OH would have fun doing that.

I don't own a copy of the Romertopf cook book so i'm not sure if it includes a bread recipe or not.
There are quite a lot of recipes many of which are accompanied by pictures giving you an indication of what to expect if you search for keywords such as romertopf, clay baker, cloche etc... on the fresh loaf forums such as.

Buckingham bakery kosher bread is nice, they sell it in Ocado and Waitrose, sadly the challah contains eggs so is not vegan but the rye bread is vegan; in reality a mix of rye and white flours, not a 'true' rye. The Waitrose sourdough sliced breads are nice too. For an everyday bread though I get the Hovis 7 Seed sensations loaf, it's soya free and seems to have a less long and dubious ingredients list than some others. I do make my own bread as well but it's finding the time xx
