Brasserie Bread

Taste

This is yet another great bread place in Sydney, and I'm not biased! They have won loads of awards, including Most Successful Bakery 2006 and Champion Loaf 2004 -2006 at the Royal Sydney Fine Food Show.I only lament that their shop is so far away! I managed to pick these babies up during the Sydney Food & Wine Fair.

The spelt sourdough was heavenly, the sourdough taste unmistakable, the spelt adding a hint of nuttiness, and with that grainy yet light texture on the inside, contrasting with a tougher outer, do you understand why I love bread yet?

The Sour Cherry was a lot more conventional. A Vienna shape loaf made with light sourdough studded with cherries, it's more dense and chewy. It tastes great toasted and served with some cottage cheese or ricotta.

Rating - Spelt - 8, Sour Cherry - 7.5

Look

Like hand-made rustic bread should. A dark brown outer, with a dusting of white flour. Simply stunning. I love their logo and their packaging too.

C-factor

$2.50 for the spelt and $5 for the sour cherry, but that's a Food & Wine Fair special because I sweet-talked them into giving me a discount.
