Your favorite bread in CM?

[jaideeguy]

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.

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.

I get my bread at Yamazaki. It's located in Air port Plaza G floor near the big fish tank.

To each their own but made for the Asian palate IMO. Contains sugar.

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.

Have anyone tried bread from rimping? Are they nice? They lack choice of selection though

[junglechef]

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!

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.

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.

The Hideaway restaurant on Hang Dong road makes great bread.

I dont care how much it costs as its good so cant tell you.

[worgeordie]

I tried making my own once, you could have built a house

with the stuff it was hard as bricks.

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.

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...

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??

Yep, loads of Asian customers and the sugar is the reason.

Can't stand the place.

[jaideeguy]

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.

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.

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?

Sourdough from Crusty Bread in Chiang Mai Land. Absolutely the best ... methinks.

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]

I asked the owner she said she purchase the ready mixed sourdough from some suppler or something. Her sourdough is not too bad but it's dark rye. At Dara Devi some time they have white bread with sourdough yeast.

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.

UN Irish gets my vote.

CM is not a great place for Bread Frang style.

[fredge45]

Make my own sourdough French and bagels... it is fun, tasty result and no, I will not sell any.

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest and never heard of sourdough bread being a dark rye.
