Sugarless bread

[Sugar ltd.]

Please, please, please can someone tell me where I can find wholemeal, wholegrain, brown bread in this city that has NO sugar added. There must be a bakery somewhere that has cottoned on to Westerners needs.

Try Simply Bread #01-03 Guthrie House, 1 Fifth Avenue (Corner Bukit Timah Road and Sixth Avenue in the same building as Cold Storage Gourmet).  I buy in bulk and freeze!

I agree that the sugar in the bread is a bit strange (tho I guess people must like it that way).  Anyway, Simply Bread is wonderful (and there is a branch in Raffles Place).  We also buy from the Cellar Door which I think gets its bread from a bakery on the East Coast - someone else can tell you where is you are out that way.  Also Carrefour do some bread which is Western style.  It is out there - you just need to look in the right place!

I'm not positive, but the organic shop
on the 2nd floor of Tanglin Mall had
unsprouted wheat bread, and it may have been
sweetened with fruit/fruit juices. It's very
dense, chewy, and wild.

There's a great bakery in the East Coast called "Bakery Depot" that makes fantastic bread without sugar.  Cheng, the owner of the bakery, is Singaporean but she learnt to bake bread, cakes and muffins from an Aussie.  Most of her customers are expats because she bakes "normal" bread that caters to Western taste.  Her range of bread and cakes include Organic wholemeal bread, olive bread, foccacia, olive & pesto ciabatta, damper (one of my favourites) rye bread, fresh fruit loaf, easter buns, carrot cake, cheesecake, muffins, lemon meringue pie, fresh chocolate chip cookies, orange and lemon poppyseed cake, fresh croissants, brioche........... I could go on and on.

She also makes great sandwiches using her own freshly baked bread and yummy pumpkin soup.

Bakery Depot is open from Tuesdays - Sundays from 8.00 am onwards. I usually by my husband's breakfast from them every weekend. They have also opened up a small shop in Republic Plaza, Raffles Place but the range of bread is not as good as the shop in the East Coast.

I forgot to  mention in my last email that you can also buy nice fresh bread from the bakery in The Regent Hotel.  The entrance to the shop is along the path between the back of The Regent Hotel and Tanglin Mall.

Yeah, Simply Bread or the Bakery Depot are good, otherwise you could buy a bread machine and make your own, it's easy! How about fresh chocolate bread for breakfast...

You can get an instruction book from Borders or Kinokuniya, and ingredients from the organic shop in Tanglin Mall.
