Does anyone know where you can buy a proper sized loaf of sliced multi-grain bread in HK...the kind that is made with just flour, grains, yeast and a pinch of salt.

All the bread I have found (At Wellcome and Park N Shop as well as local Bakers) is full of sugar, oil/shortening and preservatives.

It is like eating 2 slices of cake for breakfast every morning and so not very healthy.

Most of the stuff at GREAT, CitySuper is the same or the decent stuff there comes in a pack of 5 slices and costs a fortune or has to be sliced and only lasts one of two breakfasts.

Surely, someone makes proper bread somewhere! We need something to dip in our boiled eggs. :-)

Wellcome in Causeway Bay, Robinson Rd and the Belcher's have bread from Rose Noire. I buy a loaf of sliced whole wheat for $12.50. I normally buy 2 loaves at a time and but it in the freezer.

Did you ever considere doing your own bread ?

You just have to have a bread maker, and it's quite easy and your house have a very smell each morning with that ;-)

I have offer one to my brother in law who also is a bread lover and he does some quite often, he just love it !

I have bought it on http://hongkong.expatspaytoomuch.com/, but I know that you can also find some at fortress and similar...

Well ct!1 you have two ways to go

1. the Mermaid Bakery baguette [city super] either cut by them in 4cm slices or into 3 pieces, depending on how you like to eat it. $17
2. the Great Bakery sourdough wholewheat loaf [Great] best to get is sliced normally.$16
or you could just make your own.You can get great Canadian wholewheat flour from the stores at Chung King Mansion
.

I have a bread maker, but very few recipes for it. Do you have, or know where I can get, some really nice (multigrain type) recipes Sylvieng?
Thanks.

Thank you all. The bread crisis may soon be over.

Well... I'm not the one with the breadmaker, but I know that it came with a small leaflet of recipes.

Anyway, I've found those on internet :
http://bread.allrecipes.com/
http://www.ebicom.net/kitchen/page/breadidx.htm

I'm sure you can find plenty more ;-)

Bon appetit !

A friend of mine made homemade bread and she said the bread came out better in the winter. In the summer humidity the bread didn't rise.

Thanks! I've used allrecipes.com before... don't know why I didn't check there (brain freeze?) I went and printed off a few good ones already.
Many thanks!
