narnaneana Hi, I like the sound of these sweeter breads. I can neer be bothered to make my own to be honest. In terms of shop bought stuff, I love granary bread or any other multi-grain type. If I'm having bread rolls I like wholemeal ones.

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43915) • Cambridge, England 13 Jun 08
