“Dear Claire & Deb, Many thanks for the update on my order. We run a bed and breakfast here and our guests love the bread we give them with their breakfast - I use a Kenwood bread machine and use the fast or packet programme with great success, sometimes adding various seeds, especially to the Premium White mix which is lovely with sesame, poppy and sunflower seeds. Many thanks!

PS: We love the Cheddar and Sundried Tomato as well!
Deb's Tips
A melt in the mouth Mediterranean style bread - superb with salad or a barbeque.
