June 9, 201411 yr I've just been treated to some amazing bread from Conkey's Bakery in Bangkok, and it has reminded me of how hard it is to find good bread here in Phuket. Where do Thai Visa readers go to buy good bread? And I mean good bread, like you find in a farmer's market - see photos attached.
June 9, 201411 yr You can try the bread section in BigC in JungCeylon (Patong) or Flint Bakery on ChaoFa East Rd.
June 9, 201411 yr Buy one of them kitchen bread makers - not hard to made just put the ingredient in and press start - done in about an hour. I never did it but know someone that makes very tasty fresh bread with one of them.
June 9, 201411 yr Popular Post Mani's German Bakery in Kata comes to my mind. He also does custom recipe bread :-) His coriander seed bread is delicious!
June 9, 201411 yr Stay away from Bake across from Wat Chalong. Nice but super overpriced. I bought some French bread from Tops and it was excellent.
June 9, 201411 yr Big C Jungceylon is great! Has the same bakery set up at Carree Four. Far better than Big C bypass!
June 10, 201411 yr Buy one of them kitchen bread makers - not hard to made just put the ingredient in and press start - done in about an hour. I never did it but know someone that makes very tasty fresh bread with one of them. I had one a few years back in Australia where pre mixed ingredients are avaliable in all the supermarkets which make them easy to use After using it a few times it went into the cupboard never to re appear Like most people i prefer to buy my bread fresh from a bakery if you can find a decent one Big C Patong and the main tesco have good bakeries, have yet to find one in the Rawai area There is a bakery next to the Family restaurant by main tesco chalong that has good fresh french loaves in the afternoon
June 10, 201411 yr The best bread is in the basement at central festival but you seem to have to wait until about 11:30am before they bring it out at the moment.
June 10, 201411 yr Dark bread in wine connection in Central. Big C Extra in Patong. For incredible tasty baquttes or ciabatta you have to fly to Saigon.
June 10, 201411 yr breadmakers are total rubbish - read the list of ingredients on the back of the premix........ most decent hotels will sell you bread, just go into breakfast & ask
June 10, 201411 yr Yamazaki , tesco and central have outlets Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
June 10, 201411 yr breadmakers are total rubbish - read the list of ingredients on the back of the premix........ Breadmaker is a handy tool which takes care of the manual labor work when making the bread. I did not even know there was a premix packages for breadmakers. I used (many years ago) normal ingredients from the grocery stores. Freshly baked bread in the morning. I might just try if the old machine still works.
June 10, 201411 yr Buy one of them kitchen bread makers - not hard to made just put the ingredient in and press start - done in about an hour. I never did it but know someone that makes very tasty fresh bread with one of them. I know someone who just bought one and is now trying to find all the ingredients. About 8,000 baht, bottom floor Central dept. store.
June 10, 201411 yr Bread at central in Phuket Villa Big c Patong holds a third place compared to the above
June 10, 201411 yr Yamazaki in Central and Tesco. The Bakery (good name ) two doors up from Tesco @ Park, Rawai.
June 10, 201411 yr breadmakers are total rubbish - read the list of ingredients on the back of the premix........ most decent hotels will sell you bread, just go into breakfast & ask Nothing wrong with bread makers. Why use pre-mix when all you need is flour, yeast, sugar, salt ,oil and water.

June 10, 201411 yr there is little place on Sai Yuan, just about 100m from the lights on Wiset end, they don't have much in there but i got a very nice french loaf in there the other day.
June 10, 201411 yr we used to bake our own rye bread in Australia, as it is close to impossible (and very expensive) to have good fresh rye sourdough even in Sydney. In Phuket there is no need anymore. We used to buy dark (not really rye) bread from Festival and Wine Connection. Now there's some organic shop opened opposite Wine Connection @ CherngTalay, and they offer frozen or freshly baked very tasty bread, incl. rye, bagets, focaccias etc. A bit pricey though (100-150 bath per loaf), esp. if you consider how cheap baking ingredients are here (even in Villa Market.. but there's also a "baking stuff" shop in Phuket town), but if you dont have time to mix and knead, or suddenly ran out of bread, it's a good option.
June 10, 201411 yr . The Bakery (good name ) two doors up from Tesco @ Park, Rawai. Just to be clear The Bakery is 2 doors down from Tesco Mall about 2 kms south of Chalong Circle, just before the Makro. I use the Bakery. Good bread at sensible prices.

Why use pre-mix when all you need is flour, yeast, sugar, salt ,oil and water. by that logic, why use a machine when all you need are your hands....... the temp here is more than high enough to aid in proofing! actually you dont even need yeast, you can make your own starter. OIl only used for some breads,

June 10, 201411 yr start to finish ciabatta - 40 mins (excluding proofing time, where you drink your coffee) Too much work for a person who is known to use fire alarm as timer when boiling eggs.
June 10, 201411 yr Just ordered one from Lazada, Kenwood for 6,230 Baht Now the breadmix, and I'm set.
June 10, 201411 yr Just ordered one from Lazada, Kenwood for 6,230 Baht Now the breadmix, and I'm set. Honestly mate, stay away from the mixes. Unless you can fine the natural ones, perhaps Gerber house maybe???? especially if you plan on giving it to kids
