Asda Tiger Bread

...buy our Tiger Bread from Asda and I love it. I presume it is called tiger bread becuse the crust is patterened in such a way that it resembles tiger stripes, but I could be wrong. In fact I probably am. In light of this I have just had a look on Wikepedia and this is what it has to say about tiger bread:- 'Tiger bread is made with sesame oil and with a pattern baked into the top made by painting rice paste onto the surface prior to baking. The paste ...
...effect similar to a tiger; hence the name. The rice paste crust also gives the bread a distinctive flavour. It has a crusty exterior, but is soft inside. Typically, Tiger bread is made as a white bread bloomer loaf or bread roll, but the technique can be applied to any shape of loaf' Of the many things I love about tiger bread there is the:- Flavour. Contrast between the crust and the soft inner white bread. Above all the smell of a fresh loaf. ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

I used to think that ASDA was a bit of a pikey supermarket with rubbish food but I think I was judging it on some of the gold clad tracksuited nob'eds you get in there. However, it was our local supermarket for over two years so we decided to use it and actually I discovered some real gems! Their 'In Store Bakery' Bread was one of them…Tiger Bread being the best of the lot. ASDA Tiger Bread You shouldn't have any trouble finding this - it's a crusty ...
...sound of this go to ASDA and you'll have a choice of either a 400g or 800g loaf. We've only bought the smaller loaf on the occasions when we needed our tiger hit and the 800g was sold out. I wouldn't recommend the 400g as the crust to gorgeous white middle ratio is higher so it's generally not as nice. You'll also have the choice of Tiger Tails (crusty sticks much like French Bread) or Tiger Paws (crusty rolls) but I definitely prefer the Tiger ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

...we had also bought at Asda earlier, then sliced the bread into medium slices and buttered it. It was quite different from normal bread, yet not so different you wouldn’t know it was bread. Different, yet not exotic. It smelt lovely and fresh, the smell of bread is for some reason one that I’ve always really liked. Sliced, it makes about 10 normal thickness slices, although the height is reduced compared to normal sliced packet bread. It has quite ...
...deliciously soft, moist inside dough. It is really a good change to normal bread like Warburtons or Kingsmill, it has a fresh from the baker taste that you just don’t get from them. It is readily available in all the Asda’s, at least in my area anyway as I haven’t really had the chance to look at any others. Just look in the bakery section next to the fresh bread, the smell will lead you! Something really good about it is how versatile it is, you ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

...bakery store in your local Asda you may have already discovered Tiger Bread. If you haven't discovered Tiger Bread yet but you like the taste of freshly baked bread then I suggest you read on. The Product Tiger Bread is baked daily in store and can be found on the shelves in the bakery section. It is a large irregular shaped loaf, roughly oval in shape and quite thin. The most distinguishing features of Tiger Bread are its hard crust and its rich ...
...that for every loaf sold Asda donate 1p to Chester Zoo and will continue to do so for the next 12 months, The money donated so far has already paid for a new viewing window at the Zoo so that the Tigers there can be observed and enjoyed by the thousands of visitors every year. A penny may not seem like a lot but judging by the amount of Tiger Bread sold in my local store I would say that they must have already donated quite a bit. So this is another ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

Asda's Tiger Bread is absolutly delicious. It's freshly made in store and at 67p for a 400g loaf and £1 for an 800g loaf the price is perfect. You can also get these loaves sliced in store free and they do the medium and thick slices. I would definatly recommend you get it sliced in store because this bread is so fresh it just squashes when you try cutting it yourself at home. It's got a lovley taste to it, im not sure whatt it is but it tastes totally ...
...quite crusty and looks a bit like tiger print hence the name then I suppose..... Then inside the crust you have the most delicious soft white bread. It's great for sandwiches and holds together pretty well. It's also nice as a side to soups and it makes lovely toast, the butter just melts in making it utterly divine. I have noticed that the smaller loaf of the Tiger bread has been on offer recently down to just 50p a loaf, well worth it. You can ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

I am partial to a bowl of soup on a Saturday once we have returned from the weekly chore of grocery shopping, and I usually just have my ordinary run of the mill loaf as an accompaniment. This is fine normally but last Saturday I just fancied something different. As I browsed Asda's large selection of breads I was getting hungrier and hungrier, the smell of freshly baked loaves was wafting up my nose and my stomach was doing somersaults. One thing ...
...of loaves seemed to be very reasonably priced at around 56p to 99p depending on size. I noticed this loaf that was slightly darker in colour to the rest and it looked as though it had a crusty top so I wandered over to have a more detailed look. The loaf in question was about 14 inches long at a guess but my guessing ain't what it used to be so we'll call that 12 inches. It was less tall at the ends and rose to a high of about 3 inches. The top ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

...as its easy to squash. Asda make a 400g and 800g loaf but you can also buy tiger tails (baguette size) or tiger paws (rolls) Is baked in store daily and the sell buy date is usually the day after, but it keeps far longer than that if you take it out of their bag and put it in an airtight plastic bag. You can usually get it in a selection of browns depending on how long its been baked for. I prefer the darker loaves as the crust is chewier but thats ...
...loaf if theres not a dark one as this bread does sell fast It makes a really nice toast and is great for sandwiches ( I’ve just made egg and cress with Hellmann’s light mayo to take to work tomorrow… but I just ate the crust spread with butter ! hence this review .) I'd give this bread full marks every time and you can't go wrong unless you are allergic to sesame seeds , in which case it's poor you ...
