Bread? Bread!!

I panic when I can't get Burgen S&L! 😱 I find that, as well as it being tasty, it holds together well when buttering and also stays fresh longer than most other breads I've tried in the past. 🙂 Haven't had Nimble since I stopped being influenced by the pretty woman in the balloon!

I have not tried Nimble since the ballon days and it always seemed to have holes in it!

I got a reply from Allied Bakeries who supply Burgen, who are sending me a voucher so that I am 'able to continue to enjoy our products'

They said they supply Asda and Sainsburys and that it is available online at Ocado, but we don't use Ocado. We'll just have to look out for it whenever we go shopping, and stock up whenever we find it - at the moment, if I'm toasting 2 slices, I am having 1x Burgen and 1x Hovis or M&S, which seems to be ok. I've not tried Nimble for decades! 😱

I've not tried Nimble for decades

I just remember Nimble from when I was a kid..... Nimble toast & cold butter, a match made in hell!

Okay, when I'm get back from France, my next bread will be the Burgen, I'm sure I'll be able to find it as I have a fair few big shops around. I quite like the Lidl protein rolls that have seeds, so I'll bite into it with an open mind.

If you like the Lidl rolls, you'll probably like Burgen.

I was going to try some M&S Brown Soda Bread the other week but it was best before that day and they did not have last week.

i have just bought the livlife loaf from waitrose at £1.59 for a little loaf i thought that was quite dear, mind you they say its only 3.4g of carbs per slice, however i would say 4 slices would be similar in size to the lidl protein rolls.

i found this recipe that i may try but am not sure what i could use as an alternative to "vital wheat gluten flour"

http://www.food.com/recipe/best-low-carb-bread-bread-machine-102631

apparently it has 20 carbs per loaf

• 1⁄2cup water
• 1egg
• 1tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
• 2tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
• 1⁄3cup ground flax seeds
• 1⁄4cup soy flour
• 3⁄4cup vital wheat gluten flour
• 1teaspoon dried yeast

1. Using a 1 pound capacity bread machine, combine ingredients according to order given in bread machine manual.
2. Select 'light' browning setting.
3. Don't remove bread until it is cooled.
4. Cut into slices, and store, covered, in the refrigerator.

if anyone has a tried and tested recipe for a bread machine i'd be grateful 🙂

I've never seen it in Tescos! Mind you, there isn't a big one anywhere near me, just an 'Express'.

That's strange because our "big" Tesco has stopped selling Burgen but I can get it from Tesco Express. Can always get it at Asda but not seen it in CoOp for ages.

So, I did try and pick up a loaf of Burgen today at the local Tesco. Bought one, but when I got home, checked the date, and it was 11 June, so had to take it back. When we checked to see if they had any more....no such luck! So for now I am back on the Nimble...however, on the plus side they refunded the 1.25, plus gave me a fifteen quid gift card as an apology. Way to make some bread out of bread!
