Bridor by Lalos Well-Being Breads

Sweet Sourdough loaf, 330g - A 330g loaf. Using T150 wheat, this is a good source of fibre.

Muesli Loaf, 280g - A 280g wheat and rye loaf made with dried fruits, oatmeal and honey. Filled with cranberries, dried apricots and chopped hazelnuts. Finished with flaked almonds.

Indulgence Breads 

Wheat and rye bread with lemon confit and lemon zest, 330g - A double hit of lemon from both the zest and confit. The addition of Rye suggests an aroma and flavour of citrus and hay, which works especially well with seafood and fish.
Wheat and rye walnut bread, 400g - Inspired by the Alsace region, where winemakers have always tasted their wines with hunks of walnut bread, this recipe contains generous chunks of walnuts. It has notes of pepper and an intense nutty flavour. Especially good with artisan cheese.
Wheat and chestnut bread, 330g - Inspired by a traditional South West France speciality, this bread is made with wheat and chestnut flours and filled with chestnut pieces. It has aromas of baked apple and chestnut, pairing well with poultry.
Wheat and rye bread with dried figs, 330g - A very fruity bread with large pieces of dried fig over a background of Rye. Especially good with Foie Gras or cheese.
