Maple Leaf Bakery

I love the «Wholesome Oatmeal Bread,» but since I’m already paying quite a bit, I REALLY would not mind paying 5 or 10 cents more for plastic that withstands the freezer. The plastic on this bread is so brittle when frozen that it rips when handled, causing freezer burn to the bread. How cheap can you get, Maple Leaf Bakery? I really shouldn’t have to use all my own ziplock bags.

We purchase Maple Leaf’s Bakery Wholesome Harvest Sweet Wheat and Oat boules at Ralph’s markets in California. How it gets from Illinois to California, we have no clue. It doesn’t matter. Like the other reviewer if it is on the shelf, I buy several loaves and freeze it. There are never more than two loaves on the shelf. It is absolutely wonderful bread.

I am hooked on you English Toasting Bread and get it at Walmart stores but the supply has dried up. When it’s on the shelf I buy several loaves and freeze it. Are there any other outlets for this product in Centra lArkansas? Please I am suffering withdrawl!!!

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…
