I love sourdough bread, and I love Toastie bread. So to see the two combined in some striking black packaging was enough to get me salivating. I had to be careful not to crush the bread as I grabbed the loaf, and I had some slices straight in my toaster when I got home.
Now, please note, this is not purely sourdough bread, it's bread with sourdough, only 3% in fact. Still, the flavour shows up, and it's pretty good, not entirely authentic, but a lovely hint of sourness that really ramps up the flavour in the bread. Unfortunately the regular bread flavour wins out in the end, but this is a pretty good twist on the original Toastie, and I'm hoping it's a gateway to a higher ratio of sourdough in the future.
My rating: 4/5
I agree, I’ve lived in the USA for 11years and Warburtons doesn’t have it at all. It tastes like a gone off white loaf, yuck
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the above and have not had the disadvantage of living in the USA. I enjoyed the texture and full flavour the sourdough gave to my toasted bread. I have had a couple of loaves now and the whole family enjoy it. Look forward to trying versions by other bakers to compare.
ReplyDeleteI love this bread and wish they would make it in a medium slice loaf for sandwiches. Although I am not caeliac I do have a sensitivity to wheat/gluten but can tolerate sourdough bread. I have found that this bread does not cause a reaction like normal bread. I will keep buying it although my local supermarket does not always have it.
ReplyDeleteIt is nothing more than fake sourdough - Ordainary fast Choreleywood process bread with a little sourdough powder chucked in. All supermarkets are trying to cash in with fake sourdough. I am an artisan baker and I bake sourdough from s 20-year-old Sanfransisco bakery starter. Proper sourdough with a wild sourdough starter ferments very very slowly. This breaks down the proteins trhat some paople cannot tolerate, making a more digestable bread. proper sourdough is made from just flour, water, salt and lots of knowhow and time.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I buy it in wigan, Chorley, or anywhere else. ?
