On my travels yesterday I popped into Lidl ( wrong end of town so wouldn't usually shop there). Eventually found the "famous" rolls. Hadn't realised they were freshly baked, smelt delicious, bought four. Made a ham and cheese butty, loved it but was stuffed! I am going to halve them and freeze them. I can't believe they are only 8.5 grms of carbs. I might be dumping the ol' Burgen!
 
They are rather tasty, arent they. They are lovely wamred up for a few seconds in the microwave, I tend to have them mainly in the winter with some homemade butternut squash soup.
 
Sadly I don't have a lidl near me, but we may be getting one sometime in the future.
 
Mines about 30 mins walk from my house (so not too bad). I stock up and freeze them whenever i'm down there.
 
I've just discovered and tried Waitrose Wheat & Wholemeal Spelt Sliced Bread with a variety of seeds. For breakfast it has less effect on me than Burgen😱 and is a nice change🙂

My nearest Waitrose is about 30 miles away, so unfortunately won't get a chance to try but sounds delicious!
 
Lidl rolls are my favorite i take one a day to work with tuna or ham, they go real quick in our store thankfully though they are made all day.

I rarely have the rolls, but I think, from memory they're actually 8.5gr per 100gr, with each roll weighing slightly more than 100gr, so it's actually about 11gr per roll. For me, that doesn't make a massive difference, but it might for some folks.

I actually weighed a one last night because I thought they would be heavier, exactly 100 grms, mind you my scales are probably 30 years old! Still good at 11grms. though. 🙂
