There is NO good bread here. NONE! Years ago there was a Swedish bakery about 15k away, but it closed down as the locals wanted white bread with the crust cut off. In the supermarkets you can find 20 different brands of white bread, packaged in different slice thicknesses, and something that they 'call' French bread. It's softer than the white bread...
There are a lot of bakeries these days, but they don't make many breads. Mostly sweet rolls, sweet croissants, sweet breads, and pizza. Sometimes even that is sweet. Oh... and white bread. I saw what I 'thought' was a peasant loaf... round, unsliced, top slashed and sprinkled with corn meal, but when I picked it up, my fingers sank in half way. Bummer.
