Farmhouse bread
Does anyone here know the difference between a normal white loaf and the farmhouse loaf that is sold by major brands/supermarkets?
Do you have a preference? |

Farmhouse often has oatmeal in it. Ordinary white loaf has no fat in it.

Farmhouse is just the name for the shape of loaf (square bottom domed top) like bloomer or split tin. If it's labeled as a white farmhouse then I'd expect the ingredients to be the same as any other shaped white loaf.

Farmhouse can mean whatever the shop wants it to mean.

I think it means that it's traditional shaped (not square), thick sliced, and has flour dusting on the outer crust

As others have said a farmhouse loaf is muffin-topped in that its top is risen and has overflowed the brim of the tin.
A 'tin' is a more squareish loaf, suited to making toast in a toaster. |
