PRODUCT REVIEW - Bread

I have recently made a decision.

Lawson’s bread (the one you get in the brown paper wrapping) is the only type of bread that you can buy to please your taste buds. I have done the full array of breads as my breakfast each morning, yet have decided that cheap imitation bread just does not suffice. For starters, cheap bread, such as Woolworths or Coles brand bread, does not fill you up. Secondly, it does not cook well, and often becomes hard, crunchy and dry.

Lawson’s bread on the other hand cooks well as it is thicker. When butter or margarine is applied immediately after cooking it soaks in to perfection. Add a spread of vegemite and you have warm, moist, and wholesome toast. I prefer the Settler’s Grain variety, as the grains often get stuck in your teeth and you can enjoy eating breakfast for hours after the initial meal.

Other high profile breads, such as Helga's, with plentiful advertising budgets claim to hold a position as a 'podium' bread. I have been nothing but disappointed with Helga's. I find it too thin, therefore getting too crusty upon toasting and it has a poor ability to rebound from being frozen.

Lawson's will cost you a bit extra, (once every few weeks my local Coles has it on special), but it is definitely worth the extra spend.
