Cinnamon & Popcorn flavoured bread… say what?!
When I heard that Albany had a new range of flavoured bread on the shelves I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Especially Cinnamon & Popcorn. I would love to know who thought of this one because they deserve a high five. It is delicious! And when you pop this one in the toaster your whole house smells like a bakery. Be warned… one slice will not be enough.
Albany Bakeries, one of South Africa’s most loved family food brands, is changing all this with a range of breads guaranteed to make mom, dad, and the kids think more than twice about the deliciousness they’re gripping in their hands.
Albany’s new D’light breads are infused with delicious, one-of-a-kind flavours that will make the whole family sit up and take notice, and question whether toppings or spreads are required at all. Featuring unique Cinnamon & Popcorn, Butter and Raisin & Cinnamon flavours, the D’light range is set to shake up the local supermarket in a big way.
Albany has some amazing recipes using these gorgeous speciality breads and I can’t wait to try the below french toast recipe. I need it in my belly!
