Why living in CBD, I used to buy all my breads, pastries and cakes at "La Boulange", on Convent Road, just off Silom.

But I am not quite sure if they are still open...

Otherwise, here is an Easy Little Bread recipe.

I think they sadly closed down about a year or so ago now. A few years ago they were definitley the best in the city for French breads, but in all honesty you can get better than La Boulange now! But it's always a shame to hear that places like this close down.

I get the ficelles from Saint-Etoile as they have the crisp crust I miss from Parisian baguettes. I also recently noticed that hey are selling individually wrapped sourdough rolls. The wrapping means that they have a chewy crust, but the bread does toast up nicely.

Also Urban Pantry makes some good bread and they will deliver to your door once weekly. Sign up for their weekly e-mail ([email protected]). They also make dips and things. A little pricey, but good bread.
