#306 Say no to craptastic bread; buy or make something fantastic instead

posted by Sharon Lee on December 9, 2011, in postcode 2000

We found a loaf of bread at the supermarket.

Listed in the ingredients were: wheat flour, water, yeast, vegetable oil (canola, palm (antioxidents 306, 307), emulsifier (322 soy lecithin), iodised salt, sugar, wheat gluten, soy flour, milk solids, emulsifiers (471, 481, 472e), malted wheat flour and vitamins (thiamin, folic acid).

To compare, we asked a local baker,

“What’s in your bread?”

We're taking back bread

What's in your bread?

Check out the ingredients list; if it looks long and numeric, buy something better. Or make your own.

Then visit our bread page and share the deliciousness you made.
