One of the things I find continually disappointing about the bakery at my local Waitrose is how little freshly baked bread they have in stock. I initially thought this was because I went at the end of the day, but despite going at different times of day I find the shelves empty of bread. It’s not like that all the time, but I would say 90% of the time I visit, there is virtually no fresh bread.
On my most recent visit I wasn’t expecting to find any fresh bread, I hoped I would, but no there was only a few rolls. Well ni surprise there then. However I needed some bread for breakfast so off to the pre-packed stuff.
Looking over the selection I found Farina Pugliese toasting bread.
This Italian bread is made from durum wheat, giving it thick crust and a golden crumb.
The packaging says that the bread is for toasting and it does need toasting, otherwise it can be a bit dry.
Delicious toasted with butter.
