What sliced bread makes decent toast?

Morrisons do a really nice pumpkin and sunflower seed loaf. It’s tasty and keeps really well. I have toasted it but still prefer tiger bread for toast.

Mine!

Supermarket bread just isn't bread. It can't be because of the government requirement to add so many 'fortifying vitamins' to the flour milled by any company that produces enough flour to bake bread commercially. Some of it resembles candy floss, while other such 'bread' is more like cardboard. Small bakers can buy their flour from millers that don't have to include the additives, so give them your custom, or alternatively bake your own bread and if time's precious, batch bake and then cut your loaves in half and freeze. You'll get lovely toast - as it used to be when we were all children.

Bread machine?

Nothing tastes like it did when we were kids. I still have my Nan's toasting fork that I'd use to make toast - but only from slightly stale bread never fresh!!

Our neighbour, a fanatical 'foodie' who makes everything from scratch and grows his own vegetables, asked if we were aware that most bread is made by the 'Chorleywood' method. He actually sneered as he uttered the word. Evidently this is a fast method involving steaming; no wonder bread doesn't taste as it did years ago.

The Chorleywood bread making method was developed in 1960/61 so I’m afraid depending on one’s age it’s quite possible it’s the bread we ate as children.
If you google it you’ll find it was developed to make bread faster with lower quality wheat. About 80% of the bread made in the UK uses this process.

Lidl's cheap own sliced bread in the orange wrapper..my friend used to run a b&b & this won hands down with the guests every time! Its perfect for white bread toast!

Warburtons white sliced toastie loaf with lots of butter

'Worthy' bread?

Lots of sliced loaves make OK toast, usually best if it's THICK sliced?

I hate bread with 'bits' in it, so granary is a no-no, toasted or not. And though I try brown toast sometimes, if we're at an hotel, I prefer white.

And we don't bother with Sourdough, it doesn't keep very well, seems to go mouldy and/or stale far too quickly?

Tastes change over the years, I used to love hot buttered thick white toast, but now, yuck! Probably the bread.

However, I do like the SMALL version of Hovis multigrain toasted. The large version, for me, isn't nice, but the small loaf is great.

I agree about tiger bread, but I prefer thin sliced.

I normally have Hovis Wholemeal Granary which I love but as a treat every now and then a sliced white Tiger loaf makes cracking toast

I simply use Hovis white thick cut (the green and blue packet). It makes lovely toast

I worked for the NHS for many years and the best toast has always been from a cheap white sliced loaf that the NHS use.

Lizziethelab NHS toast with bright yellow 'butter'!

Oh now, that's reminded me of the tea and toast I was given after the births of both of my children - after two emergency c-sections, believe me, it was the best tea and toast ever!

I well remember that too. Unfortunately, DH grabbed it all and used all the milk for his tea. He felt he'd earned it!!!!

Warburton's danish is very nice for toast x

Recently I tried Co-op sliced sourdough bread toasted and I love it. It's also nice as a side, unbuttered, to mop up gravy or to eat alongside omelette. It reminds me of bread I ate in Italy.

For my lunches when at work I make rye and wheaten rolls using dough that's been left to rise overnight. They are lovely and soft but well balanced fibre-wise.

Either Tesco Seeded Batch (which I have only just realised is actually white bread and not wholemeal!) or Warburton's similar.

I Like my toast light and crunchy so toast it lightly, let it cool then toast it again, turning it over each time.
The habit happened when we had a toaster that didn't toast properly on one side, but now it's just the way we do it!

I have a bit of a theory that the better the bread, the worse the toast.
Sourdough ends up brick hard, rye likewise and any of the fancier health food shop breads are disappointing, anyway why would you want to toast them?
Yesterday’s baguette is rendered edible but for proper toast I’m in agreement with the NHS - Mothers Pride!
