Whether you are a carb lover or simply enjoy a good sandwich, there is no reason you shouldn’t have great bread every time. Deciphering the quality of bread is easy if you check for the following characteristics:

Crust

• A nice, crispy crust is a sign of good bread. Bread crust should have a variety of hues from golden brown to a soft golden colour.

Air Pockets

• Good break should have air pockets; a sign that the dough hasn’t been over-work.

Spring Back

• High quality bread should spring back when you apply light pressure

Flavour

• Bread should have a good flavour; it should not taste like eating air. A good indicator is if you can smell the bread flavour before to biting into it.

Finish

• Although a loaf of bread doesn’t have to look amazing to be tasty, it certainly helps food looking appetising.

Head into Albany Creek Fresh Bake and put their bread to the test (SPOILER: they pass with flying colours!).
