But even Mothers’ Pride had holes - somewhere between the electron clouds and the nuclei - but they were there. It’s easy - there’s a risk of holes in different batches of sourdough bread. If you don’t want to take the risk, don’t buy sourdough. Buy something guaranteed to be high density. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to use it on the ‘Big Slide’ and it made you go really really fast. I still have the scar to prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium loaf medium slice. An extremely ordinary loaf unlike it’s big brother the Plain loaf with it’s extremely dark curved crust on one side giving you either a ‘mummy’ or ‘daddy’ slice, the ‘daddy’ slice being straight and not quite so crusty. These were the things we concerned ourselves with back then. Edited August 10, 2023 by Roxanne To remove a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 As a kid I was sent to Quirks in Onchan for a loaf. The one she picked up was seriously dark on the top, I asked for one that was not 'burnt'! She indignantly told me, '' It's high bake''!!! Three bakers in Onchan in those days! Plus 'Slugsies' chip shop, nice well done chips, even if the odd fag end deep fried with them!!! Deep fried Pork pies too. Oh, those were the days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
