I was in Tesco and I saw.... wholemeal thick
which was of course thick toast type bread
then there was wholemeal medium.... which to me also looked like thick sliced bread

But where is the thin sliced bread ? has the EU banned it ?

If I have a sandwhich of cheese... or ham .... or beef.. I want to eat it on thin sliced bread

In the vast range of bread available in supermarkets today... why cant we get a thin sliced loaf ?

Will Brexit eventually solve this problem ?

buy an unsliced loaf and slice it yourself ?

I doubt the EU has any view on the thickness of sliced bread.

I would imagine it is down to which varieties of sliced bread sell the most. Thick and medium probably outsell thin sliced by enough to make manufacturers question the profitability of a slice variety not so many people buy.

You get Medium, thick and extra thick. i think they have just been renamed. Medium is what we use to call thin, Thick is medium, because it is certainly not thick and extra think is what we used to call thick.
Ok, so we do also have extra extra thick and Hovis with their doorstep.


I try to make my own and cut it to my own specs, failing that I go to a local baker and buy their uncut bread, if i can not get there I get Morrisons hedgehog bread.

I do buy mass produced bread now and again and stick it in the freezer just in case.

Make your own with fresh yeast from Morrisons!

I suppose one option is o buy a whole loaf in one of those cake shops and ask them to slice it ....
IVE done that before and got ....real... thin ... sliced bread

Im sorry bread labeled medium is not the old sliced bread... it it closer to a toast bread !

Dont think anyone of the main suppliers do thin sliced bread anymore as not enough demand from customers to make it worth while.

I just cant believe that people are eating sandwiches of say slice ham
and putting the ham between such thick bread ..... !

for sandwiches I want thin slice bread

for toast I want thick slice

People can just buy uncut bread and slice your own to what ever thickness they want.

In a lot of supermarkets you can buy the shop-baked loafs and get them sliced to your taste using the slicing machine. No need to go back to the 1930s!

That's what I've had to do for the last twenty years since they stopped making what I want to buy.

I've never liked the chewy 'chorleywood' type breads but a thin layer is tolerable.

They experiment with all sorts of other bread products so maybe one day they'll trial thin sliced bread once again ?

I haven't seen thin sliced for years. The closest bread I found to being 'thin' is the Warburton's medium.

Like others have said, buy and uncut loaf and get it sliced to your liking or slice it yourself, but I think you'll find that most whole loaves these days are too soft to be able to cut really thin bread.

I like the Kingsmill wholemeal small 'no crusts' loaves to make my sarnies. It's fairly thin and each slice is only 45kcals.

You can get fresh yeast from most supermarkets which have their own bakery as long as they make their own bread and do not have it delivered frozen.

I keep meaning to buy some from work, but to be honest the dried yeast works fine, not sure there would be much difference in taste.

I saw a video by that Paul Hollywood person, he made like a yeast starter, by combining half the flour of what you will use to make your bread with all the dried yeast and some water to make a thick paste. Put it in a sealed jar and keep it on the windowsill for 12 hours. Then you mix that in with the rest of the mix and it does give it a nice flavour.

Not sure where i seen the video, could have been on you tube.

Thank goodness for Morrisons!

I have found fresh yeast to be so much better than dried.

Thank goodness for Morrisons!

The "ask at any supermarket that makes bread" has been hit and miss for me. It worked once but failed twice. I was very happy to find a regular supply that did not rely on the kindness of whichever staff member I asked.

I have found fresh yeast to be so much better than dried. I make bread 2/3 times a week.

Maybe they will. But only if they see a market, and most importantly, profitability from it.

No business does anything out of the goodness of their hearts and because one person might want something...Not unless it'll make an acceptable profit for shareholders.

Warburtons used to make a wonderful ... large sliced loaf and a large thick slice loaf...... the bread so soft

wonderful for sandwiches ....

a slice of ham on these ... medium... whole meal breads...... just too much bread

Open sandwiches? Or use twice as much filling?
