Bread Question.
Discussion
Generally I think British bread is pretty awful, rarely do I come across any that I actually like.
However the opposite is true on the continent. Nearly everywhere in France and Germany the bread is delicious.
Why is it so different? Is there a special ingredient or just different flour? Or is it the way it is cooked?

Can you define 'British bread'?Do you mean supermarket stuff, sliced white?
The bread from my local bakery is excellent. I've never found any continental bread that could match their soft, sweet cottage loaves with a gentle crust and fluffy interior.
In any case I've yet to find anywhere that can beat a fresh bagette in France or the small rolls (Brotchen) they have in Germany.
Paul isn't bad, still not a patch on the fresh stuff made in France, including their own shops.
It's not just supermarket bread though that is bad, it is virtually any of the high street/lunchtime shops including Eat, M&S, Pret etc.
Now admittedly with a plain white sandwich it doesn't matter that much but when you fancy rolls, baguettes etc to go with cheese it does.
