Udi's bread

Udi's Bread.

Okay, we have found various quality differences with this product and think we have found out the solution!  Madi and I were getting frustrated with how sometimes the buns were small and hard, and sometimes larger and fluffy.  Depending on the Save-on-Foods that you buy the bread at will depend how it is stored.  The College Heights keep all the bread in a freezer so it does not thaw from factory to you.  Other locations however, keep it out in the bread isles, thawed and best before stamped.

The solution!  Buy the bread frozen so that you don't get old or stale bread (especially at 7 bucks a loaf).  Let it thaw out at room temperature to let the loaf rise to normal height (we think that perhaps it is smaller for shipping and rises a bit puffier when thawed slowly).  Then either eat within a few days, or re-freeze once bigger so that if you quick-thaw it in a microwave, then it is still lighter and puffier.  It seems to be working for us much better this way.
