Scottish Plain Bread
Because my younger son is home for a few days, certain special foods had to be bought as “treats”! Everyday things which ex-pats miss.
Scottish plain bread – delicious toasted. I love it with loads of butter when I’m having a fry-up (not that we have that very often ahem!).
It has a different shape from pan bread – the crusts are wonderful! Many a wean (child) has lost a wobbly tooth on a plain crust – they are great for teething babies to gnaw on!

Most Scottish bakers have their own version. The texture looks different from normal bread – I suppose that’s why it tastes different.
When we were wee it was always plain bread we had, except when visitors came – then we had pan bread!
I’m off to have some toasted – washed down with – yes, you guessed – Scottish Blend tea!
Love, Liz
