Burgen bread scarcity?

Any breads made with normal flour are going to be high in carbs but a few people do have success with some of the Keto bread recipes which use other types of flour like almond flour plus other ingredients which are low carb. I believe there are recipes in the food forum.
Yes. You can get recipes for bread from almond flour but, for a lot of folk, at £9 for 500g, it is pretty prohibitive for regular breadmaking. I occasionally make bread and rolls from Fiberflour but again the price is extremely high.
 
Hi, Update from Allied Bakeries on Burgen Bread.
Thank you for getting in touch about the availability of our Burgen Soya and Linseed Bread. We are sorry you are having difficulty finding the bread.

We have recently had resource issues within the bakery, meaning we have not been able to produce the high quantity of Burgen needed to keep up with demand.

We thank you very much for your patience and understanding and please be assured that we are working hard to fix this issue, bringing our much-loved loaf back to the shelves as soon as possible.
 
I am still getting the new version in

Good news!
 
I noticed that Waitrose have it in (it's on special offer atm, £1.25, instead of £1.50) when I went in earlier in the week to check out their reduced yellow sticker items.
Is it nice then? I nearly got a loaf, then remembered I have no self control with bread, and put it back on the reduced to clear shelf.

Definitely worth trying if you can get it. For me, it’s probably the best carbs per slice around. I like the taste and it toasts quite well.
 
I like the Hovis lower carb multi seeded bread but it seems none of the supermarkets stock it anymore ?
