Our Co Op has gone all posh with an instore baked walnut loaf at £1.85.
Have to say it was rather tasty and more than twice as dense as the
cheaper loaves.
Yes - most supermarkets do those now. At a price - about 1.60 for a small
loaf.

You can bake em for about 75p


What I bought yesterday was a sourdough loaf. I don't think that's
your run-of-the-mill loaf for simply knocking up at home.


How many do you want. My wife knocks up half a dozen a week.

Piece of ****.
Crust is sligthly below par despite various forays into steam baking and
containered baking but otherwise its excellent.


People talk
glibly about baking their own bread, but I've seen the results (and
the resultant mess) from some attempts and, well, you'd much rather
buy professionally made bread. Making some decent bread isn't like
knocking up a few fairy cakes!


No, its easier.
