Tesco Value 2 Pack Baguettes

Our family consists of two adults and two teenagers, but most of the time we have at least one other teenager staying with us because we host foreign language students who are staying in the UK while they study here. That means, we go through an extraordinary amount of bread as all five of us take packed lunches to school/work, some have toast for breakfast, and then of course there is that "post school snack" that teenagers find themselves making prior to dashing out and about again. I try and do just one big weekly shop, to avoid the temptation of spending more during the week, so I have been buying several loaves of bread and putting ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't expecting much when I picked up this twin pack of Tesco Value Part Baked Baguettes but when I saw they were only 39p I decided to make them my latest Tesco Value experiment. I can honestly say these are one of the gems of the range. You simply brush these baguettes with a little cold water and bake in a pre-heated oven for 10 minutes. By then they will have cooked through and turned a golden brown, but if you like your crust darker just cook them for a further two minutes. Slicing through the crispy crust you'll come to fluffy white bread that is beautifully soft and stodgy as all warm bread should be. Spread this with a good quality ...  Read the complete review

There's something so comforting about the smell of freshly baked bread. I love walking into Tesco and smelling the sweet warm dough, mmm. A freshly baked Tesco 'French' loaf style baguette is around 60p and a bit more if you go for their Finest range. The problem I find is that when they're in the store I don't actually want or need one, but then when I go there especially for one they never have any. Typical.

The best before date is usually quite good so you have a good few weeks to use them up. A packet of two comes in plastic ...  Read the complete review

For me, theres no better side to a meal than a lovely warm freshly baked crusty baguette. The price of bread has risden along with everything else in the last 12 months, so I have been purchasing the Tesco Value part baked baguettes recently to keep costs down, and I have to say I am quite surprised at the results. In a pack you get 2 half-size baguettes. They are sealed within a clear thick plastic wrapper to maximise freshness and they are suitable for home freezing should you so wish. The baguettes themselves are quite thin. It takes around 15-20 minutes to bake them in the oven. If left to cook completely through you will be left with a lovely ...  Read the complete review

As I write this I am in the process of eating a very tasty baguette for my tea. Guess what? It's Tesco Value again! This time it's one of a pack of 2 Tesco Value Part Baked Baguettes costing 39p for the pack. The baguettes are to be found in the same aisle as the ordinary bread and are in a transparent thick plastic packet. The red and blue Tesco Value logo is on the top left hand corner of the packet, the nutritional information expressed as a percentage of RDA (recommended daily allowance) is along the bottom and the detailed information including cooking, freezing and defrosting is down the right hand side. The logos on the front tell ...  Read the complete review
