Danish Bread

[unigirl]

Why is it that I can't buy 400g loaves of Danish Bread in supermarket in-store bakeries? I can buy the stuff manufactured by Warburtons etc from the main pre-packaged bread aisle but I've never known a supermarket bake their own.

I've also never seen Danish Bread in small independent bakery chains such as Greggs etc and small local bakeries don't seem to manufacture it either.

Is Danish Bread that difficult to make that only the likes of Warburtons etc can actually make it? What's so special about the way it's made?

Thanks

Perhaps it is more abut the demand......it is a type of loaf that only a few are interested in.

I hadn't thought of that Eccles. You may well be right. I've always understood Danish bread to be very aerated, which is said to account for the fact that a 400g loaf is not far off the size of an 800g standard loaf. I thought it might be down to the cost of equipment needed to pump the bread/dough full of air

Is Danish bread for bacon sarnies?
