Gail's White Poppy Seed Bloomer 400g
Product Description
GAIL's Poppy Seed Bloomer
An unassuming bread that's a real kitchen hero. We took our delicious baguette recipe, gave it a convenient bloomer shape and smothered it top to bottom with tasty poppy seeds. Easy to use; glorious to gobble.
About GAIL's
GAIL's believes in the art of honest breadmaking. We start with just four simple ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast, and we never add artificial colours or flavours. Instead, we seek out the best ingredients from where they're best, whether it's hand-peeled Bramley apples from Britain, single source unsalted butter from France, or plump juicy olives from Mediterranean groves. All our loaves are made by hand too, so we never need to add the stabilisers and preservatives that are an unavoidable fact of industrialised bread.
Our selection of classic and globally-inspired artisanal breads includes a range of sourdoughs made from 15-year old wild yeast starters. Allowed to rise slowly and naturally, these loaves take 48 hours to make and possess a mature taste and character that a mechanically processed loaf couldn't hope to match.

Very average
Came in one of the most luxurious paper bags I've ever opened. The bread itself is, however, nothing special and it dries out very quickly. As other reviewers have noted, it does toast well.

Fantastic but shrinking!
This is my favourite bread ever! But it's gradually getting narrower and shorter. I would rather pay a few pence more and perhaps the company could make a few pence less per loaf if rising wheat prices is the issue...

Tiny loaf for the price not 400g!
I bought this once and it was gorgeous, then ordered it last week and it was tiny, barely any poppy seeds on it and wasn't very tasty almost stale! What a waste of money very disappointed in the standard.

Honey-Cured Bacon, Stilton and Chocolate Sandwich
My favourite brunch sandwich is a combination of honey-cured bacon, rich dark chocolate and ripe tangy Stilton. Mouthwatering and satisfying.

delicious real bread
just so you know, this bread is excellent - but best to first shake excess poppy seeds off , then dampen slightly and warm in 180 oven for 5 mins also makes GREAT TOAST and worth the mess of poppy seeds
