Lovely fresh crusty bread spread with butter. :drool: :drool: :drool:

:drool:
is that toasted or untoasted , toasted would be my preference as the butter sinks in :drool:

Re: Fat in bread
 

You should try and support local breadshops, i.e. ones that actually make their own dough, and bake their own bread, since a lot of the bakeries now, used ready made dough, which is produced using the wonderful CBP. Places like Sainsbury's and Asda which have their own 'bakeries', do the same thing as well - fooling you into thinking it's 'freshly' made - when all it is is pre-processed dough, which is just finished off in their ovens...

And we won't even talk about the anti-fungicidal spray they coat bread in these days so that it lasts for 5+ days...

Re: Fat in bread
 

We got ourselves a bread maker, so we decide what goes into the bread. Works a treat, the bread is excellent, and baking is really easy (according to my gf ;) ). The only drawback is that you have to slice it.

Re: Fat in bread
 

I keep my bread in the freezer - I get a few slices out now and then. I can toast it straight from the freezer, obviously. So why do I need my bread fiddled with in order to make it keep longer?? I guess Greggs is the answer - ditch the main brands.

Re: Fat in bread
 

The answer is in the last line of the article: It seems we asked to have fat included in our bread :rolleyes: .........'kin t*ssers :afire:

I must be seeing things - I thought the title of this thread was 'fart in bed' :disturbd:

Re: Fat in bread
 

Well they didn't ask me :mad:

Re: Fat in bread
 

Freudian slip, eh Russ? :D

Re: Fat in bread
 

Yes, but do Greggs actually make their bread properly from scratch, or are they just using this preprocessed dough, if they are there's no difference between that loaf and one of the big name brands.

The recent increase in sales for bread making machines seems to point towards a general dislike of bread these days...

Thats nothing, in the bit I typed above, I originally typed breast rather then bread. twice. What does that say about me? or what does it say about my diet?? :)

Re: Fat in bread
 

I got a breadmaker for my 30th birthday (just over a year ago). we very rarely buy bread at all now - really only if we come home from a weekend away or a holiday too late to be bothered putting it on. Otherwise, it's home baking all the way in our house, and we've never looked back. The standard recipe I follow does include butter though.

Re: Fat in bread
 

:tu: Agree 100%

Typically a large loaf in our machine includes 1 oz of butter.

However we make a lot of different breads.... esp. for bolognaise sauce, which include cheese in the recipe so no butter. :drool:

Re: Fat in bread
 

Damn :( Will have to check that out. The village where my parents live (where I grew up) had a couple of small bakeries - dunno if they're still going, what with modernisation. Will have to check that out too :)

Wouldn't the bread go off quicker if it has a high fat content?? Something for the mould to feed on??

Re: Fat in bread
 

Same here, we bought one of those about 3 years ago. I love those winter Sunday mornings.

The papers drop through the door, the smell of baking bread wafts up the stairs, then the bacon smells wafts up as well, and bacon sarnies and coffee with the paper all appear in bed!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmm bliss

Take an egg or two and break it into a plate mixing the white and yoke.
Place a slice of bread onto the plate letting it soak up the egg, turn over and make sure both sides are covered.
Bung the slice into a frying pan and heat both sides but don't let it burn.
Place on a new plate, then spread marge and sugar on top and eat.
Yummy :drool:
