I have spent more hours than I care to admit searching the bread aisle for a loaf of bread that meets the "high standards" set forth by my, shall we call them picky, family.
- Tastes good
- Makes good toast
- Is good for you
- Makes good sandwiches
If it has any discernible grain in it my husband won't touch it.
If it is mushy with any possibility of sticking to the roof of his mouth my son won't eat it.
If it makes toast that leaves a crumbly mess my daughter won't eat it.
If it is white in color mom (i.e. me) won't buy it.
So week after week I searched the grocery aisles hoping for a bright light to shine down on the "perfect" loaf of bread and the Ta-Da music to start playing when I picked up the loaf signaling to me that I had finally found it.
Then, it happened I saw the bright light and the heard music! (Ok, maybe it was just the ring-tone on my cell phone and the reflection off the frozen goods door across the aisle)
Whatever it was it worked. I had finally found "The Perfect" bread for my picky family.
- 6 grams of fiber
- Tastes good
- 9 grams of whole grain
- Makes good toast and sandwiches
- No high fructose corn syrup
- No discernible grain in site
- Recyclable bag
- Local company with a responsible way of doing business
What more could you ask for? (except maybe a loaf of pre-made PB & J sandwiches)

When I do need to buy a loaf of bread for my family, it's normally this one. My daughter enjoys how soft the loaf is.
Hi there, great blog! I am happy you found a bread that you like and I know you might disregard my comments anyway…I checked out the ingredients and noticed 2 things: 1. The first ingredient is white flour, 2. The "fiber" comes from inulin and cornstarch, not from whole grains. That means that you do not get some of the health benefits from the whole grain such as minerals and soluble fiber. The research on these new grains is still questionable, the companies love them because "fiber" sells! Just thought you should know…
Thank you for taking the time to inform me about what you found Debra. I appreciate it. I guess my search for the perfect bread must continue. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, we are still looking for that perfect bread too. When I don't have time to make bread in the bread machine, we eat Stroehman's 100% whole wheat b/c my husband likes that it stays soft. Its not the best bread from a nutrition perspective but its not bad either.
