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.
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.
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.
I just joined up after seeing a post written this time last year about where to get edible bread. You know, the stuff that comes in a proper loaf, doesn't sit in your stomach like a lead ball and doesn't destroy your gut with its added gluten. Last year's post recommended Waitrose, but to my dismay they have now stopped doing "real" bread in favour of heavy sourdough and those fancy breads with weird ingredients. I don't want cranberries or cheese in my bread. I can't digest "supermarket" bread.
