jaideeguy Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I've tried most of the major superstore breads in CM and have determined my #1 favorite is Kasim's multigrain and 2nd is Makro's lite brown [unsliced] sandwich bread @ 59thb. What's your favorite?? any secret little bakeries that make any outstanding bread. I would love to find some authentic sourdough bread in the San Francisco style............chewy and slightly sour.

trainman34014 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 There is a German Guy who runs a Bakery on Canal Road between Hang Dong Golf Club and Sanpatong and he bakes excellent bread, expensive but better than most of what is mass produced here. Makro do some fairly reasonable breads as long as you stay away from the sliced muck. Don't think i've ever seen Frisco Sourdough here but someone somewhere might know where it is. I've taken to baking a lot of my own lately, just for a change really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRaymond Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I get my bread at Yamazaki. It's located in Air port Plaza G floor near the big fish tank. Edited October 8, 2013 by KRaymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Irish Pub bread is hard to beat. Maybe they are still using Rosemary's recipes +1 some of the best. I also like Butter is Better whole wheat sliced and their French bread but it has not been available at the Sansai location for at least a year and a half now. Big C has some good breads but at about 100 THB per loaf - a little pricey. JJ Bakery O.K. for whole wheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRaymond Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Have anyone tried bread from rimping? Are they nice? They lack choice of selection though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Irish Bakery never let's me down. I also like the "just add water" bread mix for an easy bake yourself option from the German guy spoken of above. For major superstore brand bread I would say Tops and store bought is at Rimping I think called Sabai (?? Help please). Some of the stuff at Kasim is a bit sweet and light for my tastes but I can't walk past without stopping in for a bag of their chocolate sticks!

shepsel Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The nearest bagel to north American standards is a whole wheat bagel from Dailyicious. It is nice and chewy and as far as I am concerned beats all of it's competition by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i just buy Rim Pings, Whole wheat bread, the one like a ball, sliced ,cost 37 Bht, buy 6 at a time when they have just come in most afternoons, and put them in the freezer,so they last a week,and are just as fresh as when I put them in. Tried lots of different breads in Chiang Mai ,but have stuck to this one for last few years, think it was only 16 Bht when I first bought it. all the others I have tried,something changed,either .the quality,or availability,or the taste. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I tried making my own once, you could have built a house with the stuff it was hard as bricks. regards Worgeordie Practice makes perfect, bonny lad. Let it rise for longer, put it in a warmer place, that kind of thing. You'll get it right in the end. Nothing more satisfying than making your own loaves to your own taste. I've always found the biggest mistake is not kneading it enough. Stick a movie on while you're doing it and take your time, it's quite therapeutic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudhopper Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Try this one dude and go sour from there. I use a cast iron dutch oven inside the big oven, and one of the very few things I can cook well, if at all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a cast iron dutch oven inside the big oven, and one of the very few things I can cook well, if at all... Yeah CH, I was doing that method when my breadmaker broke down and was amazed by the tasty results and ease of baking. I used those stainless steel mixing bowls and baked it in my toaster oven, which got up to 400f+ degrees.............but broke, my gas oven barely makes it to 300f and I don't think that's hot enough to do the no kneed recipe? What kind of oven are you using?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaideeguy Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 OK, found the location on google..........now, how much is a loaf of bread. The hotel/resort looks quite upscale, so hopefully the bread prices are not too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunOr Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Dara Devi Bakery shop make true sourdough baguette and typical sourdough loaf You beat me to it. Far and away the best bread I have tasted in chiang Mai. Always shop there. A bit expensive maybe, but you get what you pay for. It is located in Kad Dhara (Fujian at one end, Oriental Tea Shop at the other, where you'll find the bread...and cakes...and macaroons...and....) which is to the right of the Dhara Dhevi car park as you enter.

hellodolly Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have recently taken a liking to the 7 grain at Butter is Better. Also like there whole wheat. I was wondering if I did right today I bought a loaf of 7 grain that was sliced and still very warm. I put it in the freezer. Is that OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBobThai Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have been cooking sourdough bread for the past 4 weeks. I have never baked bread before and this seems like the best bread I have had for a long time. I just finished a roll with butter, and it was great. If I can cook a decent bread, anybody can.

ARISTIDE Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I asked the owner she said she purchase the ready mixed sourdough from some suppler or something.

stuartd1 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There's a small Japanese bakery on the junction of Nantharam and Suriyawong, just South of Chiang Mai gate. Alaso has a small cafe attached. Great bread and pastries, and good filled baguettes, croissant and sandwiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
