There's been a blitz of Bread activity at my local Grocery Store on Sourdough Bread from various producers... One of the Sourdoughs was made by Maple Leaf Bakery in Des Plains, IL under the Goldminer California Sourdough label claiming to have 0g Trans Fat & Cholesterol.
24oz Round Boule, $2.79 retail, about $1.50 less than competing brands. Introductory Sale only lasted for about a week before price rose to $3.79.
The taste test....
Sourness **** - Very, very good flavor for a Sourdough Bread. Great
tasting!
Texture ** - Color of the bread was darker than most, but was
easier to cut than some other Sourdoughs which I've tried. BUT,
for some reason, this bread crumbles when cut... in fact, quite a
bit of crumbling. Enough crumbling, possibly, to create another
slice if you assembled all the crumbs together.
Tastes Good, but you're going to ask yourself... "What's all this stuff on my plate?"... afterwards..
FYI: Triple the amount of Sodium than competing brands (15% daily) and over double the amount of Carbohydrates (13% daily). Maybe that's the reason why the Taste test was above average.... read more
