Bread that is not sweet

[Icon]

First of all, you need real bread, not the bland chemical concoction that bakers in Taiwan are tested on to get a license.

We have a long thread about bread. You can find artisan bakers, European bakeries, no gluten bakers, etc the choice is infinite. As long as you remember there is a choice and get out of 711 / Wellcome fare.

Where can I buy good bread in Taipei?

Lutetia in Tianmu, just south of Wellman’s (a short walk south of TAS), is not bad, their ciabatta in particular (other than the fact that they appear to be using the cheapest, typical cubed cheese in their cheese breads). I like the fact that they really push their oven temp and baking time to get more flavor and color in the crust, and a nice shiny crumb in their ciabattas. From appearance, I’d expect their baguettes to be excellent but haven’t tried them yet.

Please let us know which area you live in for further suggestions. I prefer On a German Bakeries but they may not be in your area, for example.
