Which Sourdough Bread Is The Best?
Other
I set myself a mission to find the nicest sourdough w could easily get hold of. We tried TESCO, ALDI, LIDL, CO-OP, LOCAL BAKERY and HOME MADE.
For us, the Co op is the out and out winner, Aldi part baked baguettes came second, with Tesco a poor runner up. I thought home made would be best but it was maybe the worst. I was surprised at the Co op winning as I'm constantly disappointed by our store on the few occasions I risk it.....and the bonus is that it's a ten min walk away! Terrific. Thanks to whoever suggested us trying Co op for bread! Was it Yahya ... I think it was. We did make our own sourdough crackers and they were addictive!!!! Best I ever tasted!
I like Morrison’s Tesco is not the best to be honest none of there bread is. Morrison sourdough tiger is nice too.
Homemade sourdough bread is the best. It’s not difficult with a little bit of patience. Fun too!
I think the co-op one is very nice but I tried the other day the sourdough rye bread from Aldi and liked it.
Hey thanks .... I can get to Aldi as I mentioned ... so will give it a go too ..no harm. Thanks
I've never actually tried sour dough I'm only allowed warburton thick or get nagged I occasionally get tiger loaf half nag half don't. My family very fussy
Hey poor you! My other half has 'learned what's good for him' after 40 odd years of 'nagging' 
nezhagirach You're the second to say that so maybe I'll try a different recipe/technique. Is yours hand kneaded or with a machine?
BORDERJOE I use hand kneaded and I mix flour with Greek yogurt pinsh of salt and yeast tinds really spongy soft inside
nezhagirach Thanks .... please, would you mind sharing the recipe in full ...or at least quantities? I'd really appreciate it.
BORDERJOE My pleasure... 1 kilo purpose flour 3 spones of Greek yogurt 1 spone of yeast pinsh of salt and cup of warm water
The dough should be so soft and bubbly on ur hand and give it time to rest properly in till is the dough double then u can bake it
nezhagirach hey thanks so much....I really do appreciate it! I'll let you know when I've had a go ... it'll be next week tho. One question, hope it's not a daft one .... so you use plain/all purpose ..... not bread flour?
I'll need to try get to a co op. My little boy loves sourdough bread. I've been trying to find one that I can try at home with him. There is a little cafe where I stay that does sourdough toast. He loves it. The even make it for him at lunchtime if he asks even though it only served at breakfast.
We like theirs because it's seems softer and better texture than the others we tried but I'm going to have a go at nezhagirach 's handmade one ...especially if I get the quantities. I've not made my own by hand for yonks... we have a bread machine and a brother who bakes...tho his wasn't that great.
BORDERJOE I'll give it go if he doesn't eat the rest of kids will so no waste will happen. My track record of making my own 
. Is absolutely rubbish.
tracisinclair01 ... that's something I miss not having kids .... our waste ...which isn't much admittedly .... has to go in compost cos I won't throw away anything ....
BORDERJOE yeah my eldest is definitely my garbage bin so not much gets wasted.
Just speaking to the neighbour properly for first time since they moved back here and she answered so many of my queries I'd posted here ..... and I learnt new stuff too .... discovered a YouTube channel for sourdough ...she's going to give me a small loaf next week to try it out!
