Sourdough bread... where's the good stuff?

Hahaha... The good stuff as you call it, is back in your home country. Thais are not known for having a western food palate, or appreciation of the same flavors and textures as farangs.

As others have mentioned, Big C Extra on Pattaya Klang make a few excellent sourdough bread offerings. I think the sourdough round and the sourdough long are the same. The sourdough round stays better as I have noticed that the crust of the loaf gets a little hard. If you are lucky, they will have hot loafs right out of the oven that you can buy. And they will cut them in the machine. I find the clerks at that location to be very kind, quick, and helpful. This is difficult to find in Pattaya.

If you live in Bangkok , Bei Otto , the German bakery makes an excellent sourdough.

I have noticed that a pre-sliced Big C sourdough round stays fresher longer than buying the round and slicing it myself.

The 'one and only' sourdough pizza in Thailand is available at Sergio's Pizza Factory at the Avenue Pattaya, Second Rd., Pattaya Central. It just tastes better and is healthier for you.

Thais who produce food just can't understand that some people have allergies and eating disorders. I've had really good sourdough bread from Festival Supermarket and other outlets at times and when I've returned to these places I've found the sourdough bread loaded up with sugar. After a few slices I thought my head was going to explode. I've tried many places over several years and I given up. Thais never stick to procedures as they have their own take on everything.

Make your own,

Bread machines on Lazada from 2,000bht, costs 10bht to make a 500gm loaf.
